Subliminal Infiltrations

2010-10-18T20:06:00.000-07:00

Dear Reader,

I have been too busy to make much this year but have been doing little project blogs like http://broochonkombitour.blogspot.com/ and http://subliminalinfiltrations.blogspot.com/ and http://handshakejewellery.wordpress.com/participants/sharon-and-lisa/

One day, when the time planets align I will update this blog with the things I have been making this year and the shows I have been involved in.

Have a lovely day!

If you have a fast internet connection (whilst typing this I invented a new word 'internection' and I cannot understand why this word has not been invented before - you saw it first here!) you may want to visit www.thebeop.com and see this band from space who are in a time bubble. Every now and then they send transmissions of their songs through this portal. If you look closely, you will see that they are wearing blobs by Sharon Fitness.

Jiggle Wiggle Wobble Bounce at Inform Contemporary Jewellery, Christchurch

2009-09-11T19:44:00.000-07:00

8th September - 3rd October 2009
Inform Contemporary Jewellery, Christchurch http://www.informjewellery.co.nz
presenting a series of nine new brooches:

“My practice evolves around play, fun and random happenings. I work with silicone because it offers the flexibility, changeability and tactility I need to produce playful wobbly wearable beings. These brooches have a life of their own, often prompting the wearer to jiggle wiggle wobble and bounce along with them. They attract smiles and encourage interaction with others”.
