Brighton Show

Just been sent a nice image by photographer extraordinaire Ben of my show area.

Mary Katrantzou



I was reminded of the fantastico designs of Mary Katranzou today by the arrangement of some stationary on my desk so I had a look through her website. Its all hyperrealist aesthetic, bold graphics with matching industrial jewellery. I'm really interested in what shes going to come up with next, as I love the original stuff she made for her CSM MA show, and then theres the perfume bottle-inspired collection. I like the trompe l'oeil effect - the blur between 3D and 2D with the jewellery and prints.

Plans...


Since I pretty much shut down my etsy shop at the start of this year at uni, I have had quite a few questions through about whether I would be restocking the Bird in Fox pendant that I used to make, which was inexplicably really popular. Because of this, I've decided to start making it again, and this time to make it bigger and better, and also to make a series of pendants/jewellery along a similar line. The problem I've had before, though, is finding a good supply of chains for the pendants, which is why previously I've tended to sell them on their own or on a ribbon - I just dont seem to be able to find good quality chains which are long enough at an ok price! I'll update with images of the new designs as soon as they are finished.

HI IM BAACK

Its a new post!! (Hoping to be much more regular from now on!!) Just to get a few pics on here of the big white sculpture as it looked at the Brighton show (which has just finished). The pics are unfortunately over exposed and not brilliant, but I'm hoping to get a photoshoot done of this as well as my Secret History city in the next few days to get up on the website I'm creating. I had some really good feedback on the show which was encouraging - I think it was really successful for everyone - it looked so impressive with everyones work all together!
