My recent love of leather and felt, influenced by my partner and his fantastic leather bags at www.palmerandsons.ca, can be seen in my new designs. These new bags have a soft and cozy touch for the winter season, and are finished with leather elements for form and function. Inside they are all lined with a contrasting fabric.
Thank you to all the participants in the latest Soigne Spa workshop at Blim, it was a very successful two days. I hope everybody got inspired and addicted to soap making. I am working on our new line of Spa products including facial toners, body lotions, scrubs and masks. More info to follow.
Today was my last class in Materials in Fine Art Practice at the University of Emily Carr. Thanks to Elizabeth Wilton my fabulous teacher, the class was quite an art journey. The two jewelery pieces below are just a small part of all the exploration we did in contemporary art. Materials chosen in my pieces opened up an entire new path of ideas and meanings for me. In these particular pieces we were exploring traditional methods of knitting, crocheting and weaving using industrial materials.
NO 1. Home Depot supplies, nuts, copper wire…
NO 2. Recycling product: pop can tabs, weaved with stripes of coke cans
