I wrote my last blog in September 2021. So it’s a wrap (see cover shot of all our names peeled off the wall). Our final show Morph, Aug 27 2022 – Oct 8 2022, at NorthArt in Auckland. We arrived, set-up, and opened. Small turn out for Auckland. I showed my face. This seemed an… Continue reading It’s a wrap.

Covid Pickle
Attai Chen 13 Sept 2021 Attai had just been able to visit Prague for the weekend – first trip since Covid hit. He talked about a Gingerbread Shop. I want to go back there too. Jealous that he can get on a train and be in Prague in a couple of hours. He said they’re… Continue reading Covid Pickle
Blue Room
Now I’m in August 2021. We had another workshop with the wonderful Estela Saez, and the brief was to make 20 sec video of a 3d model of our ‘solo exhibition’ in a specific colour. I got blue. No pieces of jewellery to be used. I have never built anything before like this, and I… Continue reading Blue Room
Celebrations and observations
I started this blog back in July. It was a big month of social activity because I turned 60. It was such a thrill to go to a music gig…the 40th Anniversary of Flying Nun at the Auckland Town Hall with thousands of people and a couple of restaurant celebrations. Good timing all in all,… Continue reading Celebrations and observations
June delights
Now we are six. Looking back at the month of June. Big month. The magic cortisone injection into the shoulder took place early June. It took a couple of weeks to settle down, but it enabled me to get some sleep, and reduce my painkiller intake. Estela Saez Masterclass, 02 June 2021 #2 Michelle, Antonia,… Continue reading June delights
Slim Pickings
Looking back through my diary to see what I’ve been doing…here goes…now May. I had nothing to show Attai this month. The debilitating shoulder is ongoing. Deeply frustrating and a much more social month as a consequence, catching up with fellow HS6’s and family. Flew to Wellington. Weird being on a plane in a mask… Continue reading Slim Pickings
Cremation of a Pearl
Looking back through my diary to see what I’ve been doing…here goes…back in April. I tripped up the stairs and hurt my shoulder. The aching was so bad and it was finally diagnosed as a frozen shoulder through ultrasound and have been getting treatment twice a week since April. It’s been rather hideous. The cover… Continue reading Cremation of a Pearl
Nelson Jewellery Week and other assorted goodies
Scrambling to finish the ‘connection’ to my neighbour for CHAINreaction, Handshakes at the Refinery show in Nelson. I had used a ‘found’ piece of copper and stripped it down to make a rather tiny link and Attai asked me • why round? • how do you move from one material to the next? • what’s… Continue reading Nelson Jewellery Week and other assorted goodies
Shackle tackle
Catching up again. Now I’m in February. And preparing for CHAINreaction exhibition. The Handshakers had a casual get together over Zoom and shared what we were working on. I was stunned it was February already and was feeling the pressure building over the imminent show in another part of the country, with all the added… Continue reading Shackle tackle
