Back to work

New 'wing' brooch photoshoot. Why oh why cant I just use the same pictures twice? My overactive brain is always saying 'new, new, new!' I love to see how differently you approach the same task (and the same products) on different days, and the outcome is always an improvement or at least a fresh angle on things. Keeps me entertained anyway....

Platform no. 5

I can take no credit this time for these awesome shots- well done Dan! Taken at Flinders St Station, I think he was doing his 'secretly shooting from the hip' technique to capture these unusual compositions. 

Luna Park

Now I am backdating! These are a couple of shots taken last year at Luna Park one dark night, messing around with coloured flash filters. Dan took the one of me with the clowns and the other is the lights of the big wheel.....

towards the city

Another photograph taken on our 'Diana' plastic analogue camera- what fun! same type of film as sydney pic, all grainy and dull and lovely. If only we could remember who took this winner.......

lonely picture from Sydney...

We had such a lovely time in Sydney afew months ago. It did rain the WHOLE weekend though and as a result 'Diana' the camera had to stay wrapped up in a plastic bag most of the time. This is the one picture we have from our adventures, a double exposure (happy accident) of a flower arrangement in city centre park, and of course the famous Opera House on a VERY stormy day.

What a lonely little picture.....

 

Craft Hatch market on 4th April

Me and my lovely Sales Assistant (otherwise known as Dan the boyfriend), playing shop...

We had a lovely day at the Craft Hatch Market at the City Library at the weekend. It was the second time jenhalldesigns was represented at the market, which is run by Craft Victoria to support and spotlight emerging designers just like me. Check out clog (the Craft Vic blog) for more pics and to check out the other great stallholders.

Cute and tiny wooden earrings turned out to be pretty popular. 

New round 'summer' earrings just in time for ummmm... autumn! 

Brand new 'stretch necklaces' making their debut, as were square polaroid style 'somewhere near here' brooches. These feature odd pictures of local places taken on our old school Diana camera, which have been transfered onto plywood and finished with a layer of resin...

 

Lovely wing brooches... soon to be on sale at my online shop!

and another package off to tassie...

including some lovely new wing brooches which looked super cute and colourful! all of course feature handmade tags/labels which are almost my favourite things to make- the end result is so satisfying...

and my new found love is STAPLING!!! out goes stitching paper- sooo 2008- the new attachment is the humble staple, very old school I know. 

so this order was sent out to a lovely lady in Hobart who is transforming a gallery space and shop at 146a Elizabeth St, Hobart. opening in the new year, this space will stock lots of australian made wearable art and objects. sounds great, cant wait to see some pictures!
