When I went to a TinkerITworkshop, there was great emphasis on rapid prototyping – just stick all together with masking tape and worry about how it looks later.
Here’s the result of the opposite thinking. The honeycomb vase by Libertiny is the result of the craft work of 40 000 bees, who build the comb around a wire frame. They call the process ‘slow prototyping’. The results vary, even though the bees use the same frame.
Amazing, inspiring stuff.
If you’re any thing like me, then your new years resolution was to be more productive, and make more stuff.
A brave bunch of people have committed to make a thing a day throughout February. Lots of great writing, photographs and other crafty bits, that shows what you can achieve if you commit a small amount of time to fulfilling those creative urges.
Before Christmas I went to see Out of the Ordinary at the V&A.
I can’t emphasise enough what and inspiring and invigorating exhibition it was, you really have to check it out.
For me, Susan Collis work was the highlight. Surprising, funny and full of charm.
It runs until Feb 17th, and there’s also a nice book available.
Hello,
Check me. Im blogging!
I wanted to establish a place to talk about craft, cooking, self promotion and London life that might be of interest to other people like me, looking for a way to get their work out into the world.
Ive just set up my Etsy sore, and I want to share me triumphs and mistakes with other crafters.
Who knows, maybe someone will even read it!
