Hello Sandwich

 

 

Have you heard of Hello Sandwich? The Tokyo based Australian artist? I am so addicted reading her blog, her zines and her new book! Check out her photo album and blog for some DIY inspiration for this weekend! 
Enjoy!

Meet the artist Stitchester Village

One of my favourite artist Katy Dee is having her exhibition at the Sweets Workshop in Summer Hill !! How exciting!

Katy Dee is a Crafter/Designer based in Sydney. Her style is quirky, colourful and fun.  She loves bright and bold colours and is known for clashing things together, which is very dominant in her work.

Katy likes to mix and match, play with scale and have fun. She likes to make one-offs with unique finds.  With a 3D design background she takes delight in dabbling with a mixture of mediums from fabric to resin, often obsessing over something then moving on. 

Always learning new things and expanding on her crafty skills, Katy has a passion for handmade craft and believes the things you own and wear should be as unique as you.

She can usually be found rummaging in op shops collecting trinkets or in craft corner surrounded by piles of fabric and ribbons enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Creative Lane Artists: Trinderella

           

Tracey is the creative minds behind Trinderella! She has a passion for transforming ties into beautiful fashion statement! 

Like the ties I keep finding in op shops: sleek, beautiful and very individual - but all

discarded. I love beautiful things but I hate waste. I’m dismayed by our disposable

society and the problems it poses for the future. This is my opportunity to play fairy

godmother: To give new life to the forgotten.

Ties seem to have very individual personalities (like the men that have worn them no

doubt.) Some are coarse, others smooth; some are bold, others muted; some are trendy

others traditional. To give my pieces synchronicity the chosen ties have to “sit well”

together and compliment each other. I have to cast the final group from hundreds of

very different “personalities” and then stitch them into a shape that makes them, in all

their individuality, “compatible.” I have discovered through the process      that a sleek,

shiny tie and a heavy, coarse tie will often refuse to sit well together. However, an

overt, silky tie can often compliment a muted, understated one. Like people I suppose.

It was fun wondering how the original owners would have perceived each other if

forced to work so closely together. And how they’d feel about their ties, so symbolic

of “maleness”, being used to create something so delicate and feminine.

You will meet Tracey at Creative Lane on the 2 June at the TAP Gallery! Don't forget you can see her works at her website too!
