i'm living in the wrong era

browsing around etsy, i came across the glorius seller timelessvixenvintage who sells an exquisite collection of uncommon rare pieces from the 1870s to the 1970s.

i'm speechless at the sight of these - especially the coats!


















yep. i'm in love.

oh my claws!

this find via bona drag deserved it's own post.

a brilliant collaboration between pamela love and black sheep prodigal sons.




the claws are carved out of 10-30,000 year old fossilized Siberian woolly mammoth tusk bark. the cuff is oxidized solid sterling silver, with 6 small black diamonds set as a triangle on the palm of the talon. limited to 14 pieces, numbered in scrimshaw on one of the claws. comes with a 4 inch glass dome and black wood base display with laser engraving.

absolutely magnificent.

can someone lend me $2950 please? i'll pay you back later...

incredible

the Cuckoo Forest Clock - a modernised silhouette design of a traditional cuckoo wall clock.

VITA - art installation

apologies for such a post drought! but here is what i've been too busy with!







the uni girls and i collaboratively constructed an immersive environment that asks what is the natural and what is the unnatural? what is the animate and what is the inanimate? what is the old and what is the new?
using recyclable mundane objects, suspension, sounds and lighting we created an artistic interior installation, incorporating ideas of life and death, birth and re-birth.

who knew what you could do with a truck load of plastic cups?







VITA was showing at the deakin campus in burwood in 2009.
