💛 Hanging wattles, swaying to the beat 🌾 Re

💛 Hanging wattles, swaying to the beat 🌾

Received these sweet still photos from the recent @incube8r promo video! Last year's bestseller, the Golden Wattle charm drop earrings, was one of the first acrylic earring designs I released. I have a few pairs on my own website, and one pair currently at incube8r Fitzroy gallery!

Unique in their motion, and so lightweight. I was inspired by the Silver Wattle, with its lighter green leaves than most wattle species. There was a huge silver wattle tree at my primary school which would frequently rain down pollen.

🎆 Creating a little illumination 💡

Decided on this rather ambitious project to extend my creative skills in laser fabrication and 3D object design. I have been thinking of designing some luminous pieces of art for an upcoming exhibition, and am currently putting together three art lamps 🛋️

Now, I haven't had to solder electrical circuits since Woodwork and Technology in year 8. That was over 15 years ago. I have wanted to incorporate lighting and electronics into my art practice for a long, long time - since I started doing costumery and headwear. Finally taking the steps to make it happen. 👩‍🏭

With the guidance of my partner, and a few YouTube videos and internet tutorials, I started soldering wires and LED light strips together. Managed to accidentally destroy a few plug connections along the way, and made a few other mistakes. But I've learnt so much in just one weekend! ☺️

After almost giving up, I realised I had one light strip that was already wired to a plug, which could be used to test the setup. Excitedly, I soldered it to the strips I had already connected. It didn't work. 🙁

Silly me had not matched the polarity of the terminals. Cue laughter, unsoldering and re-soldering. 😂

Finally, the whole light assembly lit up, and I was able to test it out with the gradient archway panels I laser cut. I am using a translucent white acrylic to diffuse the lights and blend all the individual lights together. ✨

This project is rather experimental, I'm not sure if art lamps will become a permanent addition to Celestial Closet, but I have been wanting to branch out into creating larger lasercut items that aren't necessarily wearable. A small capsule collection of coordinating wearables will accompany these artworks.

Three things that together, make a beautiful recycled acrylic sheet. This process can't be rushed - with patience comes a perfectly pressed material sheet!

This might be my favourite sheet of recycled acrylic yet - and I think it is the 20th sheet I've pressed since getting my heat press in February. I might have to keep a pair of planets made from this sheet 🤞🪐

Offcuts of my teal coral acrylic and light gold glitter, mixed with turquoise glitter offcuts from @honeys_plant_climbers 💚💙 my first few experiments with the coral acrylic scraps resulted in burnt goop! Always learning 👩‍🏫

This sheet was left overnight at the studio on Wednesday to cool and fuse together. Spent yesterday at home, as I didn't have a usual night of sleep at the hospital (swipe right for cyborg Christine wired up for a sleep study) 🤖

👩🏻‍🎨 How I bring my wearables to life (part one)✨

The creative process for my next major Celestial Closet wearables release hasn't exactly been linear and straightforward.

It's been more of a journey on which I have made several detours, have needed to recalibrate the GPS with several software updates, and still don't know where I'll end up.

I have returned to the drawing board with this collection several times (it has a working title of "Dawn Till Dusk") - it feels like a big departure from last year's designs, and that is a bit scary 🏄‍♀️

In the (very little) spare time I have, I've been trying out 3D printing and polymer clay, which will both be incorporated into this new collection.

It has been a while since I have learnt a new skill, but I chose both of these to complement my existing design style. I also regret not learning 3D modelling at university, but I'm going to start now.

Polymer clay opens up a whole world of possibilities with unique shimmery and textured finishes, that I can't achieve with acrylic on its own.

And if it all ends up pear shaped, well, I'll have lots of sample pieces for a future sale and I can say that I tried! 🍐
