A gift for her studio. x 


Last week was a short visit of friend and jewellery designer Alister Yiap who was here in Melbourne for the launch of the Miss Australia/Universe national costume for 2011 where he designed and made the headband and belt!

We then caught up with another friend and also jewellery designer Regina Middleton in her studio space just off Brunswick Street. She has a cute little spot at the back of a whole studio space shared with other artists, where she works from most days on her jewellery. It is an amazing space! Regina's jewellery are made from "once-loved" materials which she's found and made into jewellery. She hand weaves wires, fabric together with other found objects into these beautiful necklaces, brooches and earrings. Not to mention the colors are amazing!

It was so much fun hanging out in her studio space, and so good to catch up! x

PLAY!

COLORS OF SPAIN



skull inspiration



I've recently found this website www.polyvore.com which lets you play and create amazing sets with images sourced from the internet and your own images as well. I've been playing around and it actually gets pretty addictive!

The top set is currently what I'm dreaming of now- summer in Spain! to escape the cold weather here in Melbourne. And the bottom set is my inspiration board for My Secret Agent Lover Man's upcoming collection "The Grave Escape" which will feature gold plated skulls, semi precious stones like tourmaline, quartz, mixed with fresh water pearls. It is definitely my favourite collection to date!

Right now I think I might just get back to playing a little more ;) It reminds me a little of the paper dolls I used to dress up as a little girl, changing their paper clothes and bags. This is like an adult version where you get to mix and match images of places, people, fashion, and words! When was the last time you played? x
