Find...Make...Wear and my exciting news
Have I mentioned this brilliant project?
There's a group on flickr devoted to photos from the 'Find... Make... Wear' project by the Victoria & Albert Museum, London and artist in residence Dame Dorothy Hogg (one of her stunning pieces is pictured left).
Anyone can take part in this project but the jewellery must be made from recycled materials.
It's well worth exploring as there's such a diversity of styles and materials to see.

Anyway, I have just spent a couple of months making recycled fabric pieces for my college project. So, I posted a couple of pictures in the group. To my absolute amazement and delight the picture below has been selected (one among many)to be on the permanent V & A web page of the project.
Please visit the site and wave. I'm 4 rows down and 5 along and very happy to be there!

Congratulations Su! But you totally deserve it - your work is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great shop. I just went to Bath for the first time this past Nov. It was amazing I am dying to go back and spend some more time there.
ReplyDeleteWell done Quercus, you must be chuffed to bits, that's a wonderful piece of recycled art, they almost look like tiny shells, I love the photo to. I showed my son, he was most impressed that you'd made that out of paper.
