ICFF in NY was amazing!

ICFF show in New York this weekend was great.
This was definitely worth the trip right before finals!

Stained glass dogs = fun.











Panelite wall system, making beams unnecessary.

I would try to describe some of these items more but you just have to see it!





They are made of cast polymer in a honeycomb design.
It's comprised of 80% recycled PET.

Checking the weekly list o'fab

I was checking the Jan list of the week:
Klimt 02 caught my attention for about an hour so i figured it was blog-worthy.

These are by Susan Pietzsch



Sugar Jewelry!
I just want to bite off the robot's heads.

I was always the kid with the decapitated Easter bunnies in their basket.



Not sure on the What does it do? but I know the What is it? is sand, silver, seaweed and glass.
It's listed at 900 euro and is 9 x 5 x 5
This is by Estela Saez. It's interesting but I really want to know the location you wear it or if you wear it at all.




This is by Joan Parcher.

I like the "hey, I found these washers in a coffee can in a garage, enameled them and put them on a bracelet" look.
Maybe I should raid my own garage more often.

Paper casting, trial and mostly error.

I've learned that paper
casting doesn't work exactly
like I thought it would.

Fimo molds worked the best so far.
Unfortunately, I need a much higher relief design.





I do really enjoy blending the #&*@ out of the paper.
My dog freaks out when I turn the blender on.






I also found you can't cast paper onto paper without the whole thing being a big wet mess.






My seeds are cool though.
They just won't stay in the paper!







= disaster

oh, and glue + dirt = blobby mess.
