back after a short delay...


i've been a little slack in my postings of late, but i had an excuse, i travelled back home to brisbane for a week to hang out with the family.
it's inspiration time again, and here's a little broach entitled "untitled" from 2006, made of bog oak and silver by dutch jeweller francis willemstijn.
looking at her website, a lot of the work's of this series appear reminiscent of another great dutch artist, de stijl co-founder piet mondrian.
i attempted to build my own little piece of jewellery inspired by this work, but i have yet to work out a method for attaching timber to silver other than by cheating and using glue. be patient while i work on my crafting skills!
