Hello. Pardon my tardiness in entering my first post in my blog. I have been suffering from blogger's block. I've decided the only way to roto-root through the block was to write something, anything. Here it goes....
My name is Annie and I create mixed media wearable art that I sell on Etsy, a really cool website for all things handmade.
My store is called Annie's Obsessive Compulsive Designs, or obsessivedesigns for short. I make pendants primarily from unexpected materials. I spend my time obsessing on what odd material I can make into jewelry. You are welcome to wander into my obsession any old time at http://obsessivedesigns.etsy.com/. Or, click on the link on my site http://www.obsessivedesigns.com/.
My latest obsession is turning aluminum cans, labels, and candy wrappers into miniature collages. Sometimes I sink them into biodegradable paper clay (like the one above), sometimes I adhere them to old game pieces. I wish I could tell you something brilliant about strategies, implementation, composition, but, alack and alas, I cannot. I wait for the materials to tell me what they should be. A Fresca can morphs into the iris of an eye, a cherry cola can morphs into a butterfly. It just happens.
Scientists, archetechts and designers debate that form follows function. In my obsessive world, I strive to take function out of form.
The End. (My first blog. Hmmm that wasn't so bad....)
