More of that geo-knit style...
"My knitted installations are reflective of traditional craft concepts such as Fair Isle knitting, American samplers and Scandinavian pattern. While using illustration and illustrators tools such as graph paper, lined paper and even brick walls to create humourous knitted fabrics."

BIG Jewellery
Ceramicist Nicola Malkin creates large scale jewellery related scultural pieces and giant charms that have a girly tactile appeal. I particularly like the beaded necklace seen in AnOther Magazine. Her work reminds me of an old story book I had as a child called Wizards, Giants, Trolls and Magic (see last image).

Kate Jenkins Considered Stitches
Saw some of Kate Jenkins's work at the London Art Fair on Sunday 17th that stood out among the endless rows of traditional artist mediums, she has a humourous and charming way with the crochet hook. This is the blurb...
"Cardigan is the vision of Kate Jenkins and was set up in 2003 to fulfil her philosophy that anything can be created from yarn as long as it is made with love.
Based in Brighton, Kate's background is in fashion, designing for prestigious labels like Donna Karan, Sonia Rykiel and Missoni.
Using her talent for design, an artist's eye for colour and a witty imagination, Kate has developed the Cardigan label to create a truly unique collection.
Now, as well fabulous fashion, beautiful accessories and greetings cards, we have a gallery of original, collectible art."
And this is the website...here.

Last Night: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
TEED @ 93 feet east last night was actually ridiculous. Bass so juicy with electro beats and some classic retro sampling, I havn't danced that hard in a long while. Amazing costume design AND a keytar. They are on Greco-Roman and have just released an EP called 'All In One Sixty Dancehalls'.

WORK: In Progess - Triangular Patchwork Recycled Jumper
These are a couple of pages of bits I extruded from Vogue. I am currently working on a Miu Miu inspired triangle patchwork bag made from a shrunken Calvin Klein cardigan that used to be XL, until my genius sister borrowed it and tried to remove all traces of doing so by bunging it in the washing machine (fools mistake).
Its taking a redonculous amount of time to finish as anyone will understand if they have attempted triangular patchwork before, you will see it on the website by summer (I hope)...
