VALENTINES EXHIBITION
SPRING CLEAN POST NUMERO 4th & FINAL!
VALENTINES JEWELLERY EXHIBITION
@ ART'S COMPLEX, EDINBURGH
A LOVELY AND VARIED SELECTION OF WORK ON SHOW AT MY STUDIO COMPLEX
INCLUDING WORK FROM JAIMIE MCDONALD, JEN CUNNINGHAM, NICOLA TURNBULL, & KRZYSZTOF BORKOWSKI
The Jewellery Exhibition, originally titled 'Silverlining' is a collaboration with Telford Colleges Event Organising Students. They did a fabulous job organising the exhib, marketing, sponsorshop and catwalk. Thank you to the lovely ladies!
The opening night was on Friday 4th, spent the entire day setting up. I love the display aspect of jewellery, and I am slowly building a collection of display furniture and objects. The exhibition, being a Valentines one, had the theme of red black and white. I theme I stuck to rigourlessly.... :S wups.
But on the theme of romance nonetheless, my installation is has hints of the 1940s romantic nuances, which I felt both befitted my signature boxes and my silhouette work. There are a few new editions to my silhouette collection, I have downscaled the ladies and this time they are blessed with being silver rather than brass. I am EXTREMELY excited about developing this work into a full collection, harking back to the hayday of curves, cheeky flashes of stockings, and floral print - tapping into the resurgance of vintage fashion and wartime attitudes towards life. Anyway - will keep you posted as to when and how this develops ;)
I will let the pictures do the talking, hopefully you'll be able to get the gist of what I mean...

The poem in the typewriter is 'The Owl & the Pussy-Cat' by Edward Lear, not the most romantic, but is one of my favourites, my mum used to recite it to me when I was little. I have written and formatted the poem to fit with the style of my work, and also popped in a few of my little swallows for good measure (graphic designers avert your eyes, it may make you cringe). Although my jewellery may be v.sentimental, I can't stomach gushy, smultzchy, gooey 'romance' - give me a bird, a cat, a pig and a turkey anyday!
OVER & OUT!

IJL - BRIGHT YOUNG GEMS
AT THE START (yes 'start') OF SEPTEMBER
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PART OF
BRIGHT YOUNG GEMS 2010 @ IJL
IT WAS FABULOUS, DARLING.
A QUICK (AND AS USUAL, BELATED) POST TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF THIS YEARS STAND, AND THE LOVELY DESIGNERS I SHARED WITH...
This year I was lucky enough to have been selected as one of IJLs 5 Bright Young Gems. Not only that, I won the Astley Clarke Gold Award, a bit speechless to say the least! But I will blog about that nearer the time ;)
For four days whilst the show was open I met a wealth of industry professionals, familiar faces, and the acclaimed judging panel. I'll let the pictures do the talking (although I do apologise for the quality as they were all taken on my phone). Oh and we had EXTREMELY cool cabinets- they open in half...

My display was made by a lovely, very talented man and friend named Lyle McCance who owns Board Stupid, a bespoke furniture design company based in Dundee, Scotland.
The JOSHUA RING
A new addition to the Gentlemen Boxes, Joshua. He opens from inside, just like Henry, but has a thinner shank. There is also a neckpiece, but at the moment I have not had chance to get a good enough photo of him. Apologies for the poor quality of this photograph, also done on my phone!
THE WONDERFUL OTHERS:
And that was Bright Young Gems! Spent the entire week as a walking, sniffing, coughing, tissue factory but despite the flu had a wonderful time! Apologies to all those who I no doubt passed it to...SORRY!!
Oh, and the one thing that kept me smiling the whole time? The promise of THIS on 4OD when I got home;
Absolutely breathtaking. LOVE IT.
'THIS IS ENGLAND '86' by Shane Meadows
Walked past this poster just outside the overground everyday on the way to and from Earls Court. If your really observant you have already noticed the gentleman in the car making the most of the photo opp...
