pretty porcelain


Isn’t this gorgeous!
“Designer Kristen Wicklund is showing a beautiful collection of crocheted cotton lace dipped in liquid porcelain. After Kristen dips the lace in porcelain she fires it in a mold; during the firing the fiber burns out completely and leaves a (gorgeous) hollow porcelain shell of lace.”
It makes me think what else you could do with liquid Porcelain. It seems like a cool material to use.

a high school influence emerges

I haven’t seen much of Dibbles work since high school, except for his memorial work in London’s Hyde Park (despite the overall dislike for the work I actually really liked it). He was my artist model for my seventh form Sculpture panels. He is a local artist in my home town of Palmerston North and I went out to visit him at his studio and see how he worked. It was so interesting and super inspiring, so you can understand how stoked I am to see the he will be exhibiting in the art gallery just down the road from work. I’m loving the look of his work. These birds are ever so sweet while still having a very emotive look and feel to them. I will defiantly be popping in.

There is an interesting article on him here.
