ART FOR GRABS, ANNEXE GALLERY IN MAY

Art for Grabs was a blast - Chick Art sold out again and Chick Bling almost did too! Hello again blogosphere!

Craftweek 2

This week at Seows, we continued with the crafting... things need to step up a fair bit as Art For Grabs is two weeks near... Seows continued with her florette corsarges and I worked on some charm necklaces. Mia came to do some artsy stuff, but just basically drove us nuts with her 4-year old fidgeting...

Chick Bling

Chicktweets is in the process of introducing Chick Bling - adornments for style-savvy thinking chicks and chickettes with a penchant for the fun and silly. I've just completed experimenting with polymer clay to create a range of pendants, bracelets and rings with Victoriana influences (cameos and stuff) and on the other extreme playing with themes of organic matter and planetary shapes.

Sounds very impressive - but I realise I've a long way to go... I've been testing the durability of the stuff I'm making. The rings haven't been very promising, but the pebble charms are doing much better... I'm also thinking of complementing the clay stuff with leather, precious metals and semi-precious stones... But the whole idea is to create thoughtful bling with a green message, and utilising stuff that doesn't chip at the earth's resources too much (think Blood Diamond), which people will not frown at given the current socio-economic climate.

Please tell me what you think!
