Getting cosy

I love in.cube8r. I sell my pieces exclusively through in.cube8r Gallery in Fitzroy. Isy and Clare have been very supportive of my craft. Clare takes care of all of the interstate artists. Clare makes sure all our cubes look great and provides advice on what is and isn’t doing well in store. She told me that someone was in looking for a tea cosy and asked if had considered making creepy cute tea cosys? I hadn’t. I’ve made a few tea cosys in my crochet past; mainly when I was learning. At first I couldn’t fathom how to make them. I let the idea wash away as I thought it was too hard and that I couldn’t do it. Clare was persistent though. I made one that I hated and then two more that were a little better. I sent them off. They sold within a week. Shock. And of course the one Ihated was the first find a new home.

Beer cosys have been a regular in my cube space for about 12 months. Now that I think about it it makes perfect sense that I should have a tree cosy or two in my repertoire. I have also recently included a couple of egg cosys to the range. Each cosy is unique. I make and replace as they sell. Check out my cube space at in.cube8r or contact me for custom orders.

WoW 2015 – Pablo

 

So… it would seem that I am a terribly slack person when it comes to posting on my own website. I haven’t even made mention that at this year’s World of Wearableart Awards Show my entry PABLO was announced as Runner Up in the Children’s Section: Imaginary Friends. Pablo_OOmMCTo say that I was shocked and delighted is an understatement. More accurately flabbergasted and ecstatic! The show this year was very different to previous. Very different, but just as spectacular. I was able to learn that the model in my garment is named Laura. Laura was simply A W E S O M E. The choreography for PABLO and his “imaginer” a young boy brought the character to life. It was fun and whimsical. You can watch the highlights from the show HERE.

The Entry Kit with section details for next year’s awards is out. I have started on design concepts for an entry. I just need to settle on one clear idea and get cracking on it’s construction. The start of April will roll around way too fast!
