Part B

I came across Part B through a friend.  This innovative group aim to engage other artists and the public with what they term 'research jewelry' by displaying pieces beyond traditional means.  Or for a more eloquent description in their own words click here.

So off I headed to Hosier Lane for Steal This.  The aim - for pieces to be displayed within the lane until stolen and it may well have been the world's shortest exhibition as most items were bagged within minutes.  However I did spot a nice wire lace adornment that was bagged before I could grab a picture.

I love the genius behind Part B and will definitely keeping an eye out on their movements.

A Poppy For Rememberence

This wire lace poppy was spotted bursting from the grass at Federation Square's Amphitheatre, clearly a creation to mark Remembrance Day.  Its metallic finish seemed to merge into the facade of the sqaure and it was soon surrounded by bikes.

Not too hidden though as by lunch it had been 'picked'...perhaps for a vase, perhaps to adorn a bike or to give to that someone special.
