Why... hello again...
Fancy seeing you here!
Ever wished that you had your very own "Creativity Personal Trainer"?
Of course you have wished that!
For days (or weeks)...(or years...oops)...when you feel like you are stuck in a rut.
Like your creative muscles are lacking that "ripped" vigour...
When you look at inspirational images or the work of someone else's and then look at your own and feel the kind of shame only an over sized jumper can hide...
Well...Let me tell you...
If you need a referral...I suggest Natalia Milosz-Piekarska...
Within only a matter of weeks I have lost pounds of "BLAH" and have replaced it with firm and shiny (and furry/soft/glittery/gluey) "WOW"
Thanks Natalia! My automatic making has never looked so good!
I don't have any "BEFORE" to show you...how embarrassing...
But here is some "AFTER" to feast your "googly eyes" on...
Question: What do a Twig, a Shell and a Fan have in common?
Answer: See above...
Mutations of the graphite world...
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY'S BLOG...
It has come to our knowledge that the "jewels" that Sir David Attenborough was holding in his personal collection are in fact the most precious components of the crown of the last ruling leader of an alien territory (we are yet to receive the finer details of the exact location of this land...but we are presuming it is "far, far away...")
Sir Attenborough has commissioned a team of "experts" to recreate the crown, for it's jewels were all that remained of it's structure, in the thousand year old tomb.
Exclusive photos below!
Such colourful "gems"...
The "jewels" flow from the crown over the face. Each "gem" believed to have specific powers and as such its location on the crown protects specific parts of the individual...
The Glittery Berry over the right eye is believed to ward off "pink eye"... A common cause of death in this foreign land...far, far away...
The Sequined Flower is believed to have been a living sun dial...It's direction dictating time...
Experts have found this to be untrue however...with its direction merely representing the direction of the crown wearer...
Needles to say: Time in this land (far, far away) would have been pretty unpredictable...

On a different note:
Rock Solid!
Who's seen it?
I was mighty impressed with a lot of the work there.
Considering it is all made by visual artists who do not have a background in Gold and Silver Smithing.
My favourites?
Well...
I want a pair of Madeline Kidd's "Earrings with mixed cauchous" (yes, cauchous of the cake decorating kind...)
Similarly Dan Bell's Fimo and glitter creations took my eyes (I got them back though...and he apologised on behalf of his work)
And I couldn't help but say "love" to Anna Ephraim's little pale yellow budgie "Frank"
But all in all, everything was given a little nod of approval by moi...
Thanks for having us Vic! And thanks for the outing Natalia!
I would have got there on my own but it wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun as our little excursion...
ROCK ON!!!
