Mid Week Madness

…yeah…I know…I’ve gone all once a week with the blog posts….

..and today is not the day that I usually put type to ether….

…but….

….friend Matt Blair is making these….

…they are fabulous….

…hand forged out of kauri floor joist bits from the Empire Hotel in Dunedin…(if you are unfamiliar with the significance of that once fine establishment have a wee google)….

…if you need one (or one of his neat little guitar brooches) you can find him here…

….give him ALL your money….(and tell him I sent you)…

…now to go find something to pin it to….

Level 3.2

…remember these?….

…they moved on to be….

…and….

…they eventually became…

….repurposed as a New Zealand Music Month vid’ for Dee’s wonderfully catchy tune, “shit fly”…written to celebrate the delightful cloud of short-lived flying things that hover round the outhouse out at Aramoana….

…a fitting end for nearly 100 brooches presented in a custom built carry case for a pre-xmas market thing that didn’t happen….

…(damn…thought I had a bunch of photos of the production lay out…flies all arranged on trays with the “colour guide” post it notes that I used to ensure that none of the flies have the same colour scheme)…

…er…

…here’s some post video shots…..

…maybe they’ll have another market this coming Xmas….

…if we’re allowed out by then….
