after class today i saw her biking along the seawall :D and had a lil chat with her yay the next seamrippers fair is on Sept. 23! Come for a full 35 or so local DIY scene crafters on Commercial Dr at the Leigoin Hall yay!
ok back to the display:
i think it looks kinda empty.. i dunno. PLEASE OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS TO BRIGHTEN IT UP OR MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ITS YOUR LIFE! please comment. !
ok this is a ramble to keep me reminded of school....
but really i totally messed up with the whole school bit and thought the break was THE BREAK and came back for my one on one talks dang momoy. but i didnt know till i saw the girl i sat beside and asked her where we were supposed to meet liz - she said we were all meeting next week one on one instead of this week nye! and i missed the slides and short disscussion on the first quick project- coz there are two main ones after. man, so i go down and ask this other guy who suggests go to lizs office and yes! she is taking her bike out of her office yay. so awsome. the project is to take an exsisting form and merge it with another form that dont usually go together but are somehow related to my personal project topic/theme- like the tatooed finger who i forgot again the name of the guy the irish guy? tattoed his finger 3 inches black coz its the distance of disallowed knives in that particular city due to the fact that 3 inches is the distance between your chest to heart. i thought it was to be some form of racism (the tattooed line on the heroin addicts (they were paid), or shaved sections of heads is i think what i was thinking of)... but the felix gonzales torres pile of candy that was the weight of his friend when he died of aids- mmm damn i wish saw the slides as a refresher shet.... well ill be seein her next week to show last work so thankful caroline brought the pieces back... so first thing i thought of is the austroneseans and i said how it was overlooked as an important historical language group (?) i dunno. liz gave me some awsome quick examples, like the globe and mail in a forgotten languge alibata?, or a video of something dubbed with another thing, kind of fuzzy but i got two here... but um im going to go read pauls blog again.. its already the stuffed sarimanok and bulul, and kalabaw- they are exsisting familiar forms but they are stuffed to like the the patinaed artifacts i was trying to copy...but they arent like you know not really like two coz the stuffed is just stuffed, a decoy and isnt its own form really. or i mean i havent thought about how it could be.

I'm not an interior designer or any thing, but what if you framed some fabric, leaving off the glass and displayed the necklaces inside those? You could stretch and glue the fabric onto the stiff cardboard that is usually behind the glass when you buy a frame. I really like how you displayed the rings, btw.

i was going to say exactly what jen said!!! use a frame minus glass for sure- it will REALLY make a difference. if you dont want to mess with fabric, what about a nice paper? just a plainish one- like, maybe ivory with a tan pinstripe pattern or something along those lines. you dont want to get too crazy, otherwise it will distract away from the necklaces.
ReplyDeletei love it! thanks jen and erin!!!
ReplyDeletei think im going to go with the empty frame-- was already thinking in those lines.... and there are already some ornate frames in the store....
do you ladies think ornate frame? or plain frame?
if i used a paper or fabric for the backing- id probably follow it with a table runner of the same.... you think?
mmm k, have to measure and see what i find if i find anything in the sally ann.....
