by placing colored felt-tip pens in the pockets of the dress its appearance changes over time. within an hour - to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. the owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it."

... I stand before you...Color of the mountains Colossal...Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind Here I stand before you, the color of the night Frozen by the potential of me...

"A 2006 graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, Lina Peterson has alreday exhibited in many international group shows including ALCHEMY: Contemporary Jewellery from Britain. Peterson creates intriguing and bold pieces of jewellery that play with boundaries, be it the relationship between garments and jewellery or the juxtaposition of different materials.  Peterson draws inspiration from the construction of garments, the intimate feeling of the inside of a cardigan or the diffused back of a piece of embroidery.  Pieces such as her ‘Collaged’ and ‘Stitched’ brooches bring such fragmented suggestions of garments into pieces of jewellery, often together with elements that are more closely identifiable as pieces of jewellery, such as silhouettes of beads. The main focus of Peterson’s work lies within the exploration of material qualities and combinations, allowing room for playfulness to enter the work.  Another outcome of her investigations is the ‘Crocheted’ jewellery where the language of crocheting is mimicked in metal and the metal forms are then extended with actual crocheting using colourful yarns."

Title Quote: G. Herbert

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

The COLOURS are crayons which can be used for drawing and characters shaped as small human beings which can be used as tools for communication. It intends to show the results of involvement between characters. The results of the communication can be softening, stimulating, balancing or dirtying. It all depents of the character which is chosen. The interaction can become visible or invisible. The user makes the choice of characters and tests which way they react to each other. And what is left of the one which is used as a disposable product?

There are about 100 crayons and they are packed in 10 boxes in 10pcs each.

Title Quote: Albert Schweitzer

If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.
