Daily Poetics

... We imprint intimacy in the songs, give them a narrative separate from and parallel to what the author's intent was. In that way, we make the songs symbolic of our own relationships.

"I am creating diverse collections of flatware which translate the different aspects of my concept. The pieces have an individual aesthetic and change into new forms when they playfully interact with each other.

The pieces come together through the lettering shown on the tines of the fork and where it has been, leaving a mark. Another concept can be seen through the exhausted cutlery which flops over a plate or surface to interact with the tableware.

In the Exhausted range, the utensils take the form of the tableware they fall on. The pieces are exhausted by constant treatment and use.

The non sharing bowl is a double bowl with two forks that have ‘MINE’ in different fonts on the end of the tines. The bowls have ‘MINE’ in the two fonts etched randomly around to encourage competitive behavior.

The forked bowl incorporates the same idea but different lettering to show the forks function and where it has been leaving its mark.

The personal fork has my initials on as an example of a personal fork for hallmarking your food. I have done this with the intention that people can commission their own initials"

Title Quote: Howard Kramer

 

Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me

"Wishes – the ring Right from our childhood, the power of making wishes is familiar to us: be it Aladdin rubbing his magic lamp, reciting magical poems to banish frightening nightmares, or the major or minor yearnings in our lives –the power of our wishes always seems to influence the way things work out. The plain ring invites you to listen to your wishes, irrespective of whether it is with words made available by others or self-created magical words - the wishes will be with you from now on."

Title Quote: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

No profit grows where no pleasure is taken; In brief, sir, study what you most affect.

The PROMISES are used as rings, but can also be disposed off by washing, burning, melting or breaking in pieces. None of these promises lasts forever. And as a lottery game, nothing is for sure.

 

The materials comply with the disposable way of thinking. The idea is based on commercial romanticism and one night stands.
The PROMISES were presented in the shape of lottery: the machine contained numbered balls and every ball contained a ring, a promise. -heli hietala

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.

Gumball Charm Bracelet

"Bring back the wonder of childhood innocence and dreams with this colorful and delightful one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry--and history! I hand fabricated the sterling silver bracelet (soldered links) and added each magical tidbit of childhood, specifically seeking out highly collectible and hard-to-find mechanical charms made in Hong Kong during the 1950's and 60's. You'll see a working whistle, compass, mirror, hour glass and magnifying glass; 3 dexterity games; a turning apple that reveals a worm; a push-button clown; an eskimo, bunny and green monster with pop-out eyes; a bobble head turtle; a blinking eye; a puzzle boat; a bible with secret viewer of the Lord's Prayer; a flicker clock; a dog popping out of a dog house; a gun that comes out of its holster; a skate with moving wheels and a 1940's sterling silver moving fan. Highly sought after are the retractable box cutter and pop-out eyed bunny that are hallmarked PK for the Penny King company. I've also included several celluloid cracker jack charms of the 1920's and 30's.
When you wear these childhood talismans on your wrist, you will delight not only yourself but all around you! As these are antiques, you should wear the bracelet with care to protect its heirloom status." -Kim Noguiera

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

if i'm afraid of anything...it's that i won't live as well as i know how.

"All prints are archival quality and original photographs printed on fiber based matte finish paper. These arrangements are items from my collection of things I've squirreled away over the years. I started doing this because I have so many random and hard to categorize things, which I've gathered over the years...and even use in some of my jewelry, while the rest either sits in a box where I can't see it or is displayed on a shelf.

So one day...not very long ago, I began pulling a bunch of trinkets together and arranged them on our too tiny coffee table, and then left them there for days because I didn't want to put them away, but a little problem I have is running out of space and then piling and piling, to the point where I can't find anything, and then all I do is spend time looking for this or that, so I decided to photograph them, so that I wouldn't forget what they looked like together.

The process has become a way for me to remember what I have and to reminisce about what I was doing...where I was...and how I felt at the time I made their discovery.

Accompanying each print will be a hand-typed (on my husband's old Smith Corona) list of the things I used to compose each arrangement." -Lush Bella

Small Fortune

Link: The Small Fortune Coin Purse (Design + Googs).

"During Laura Victore’s senior year at the School of Visual Arts in NY she was involved in a portfolio class wherein all projects were focused around one central these– her thesis was “Gift.” Throughout the year she became fascinated with the idea of gifts and giving, and did research into the history of gift-giving in different cultures. During her studies she became interested with the idea of the fortune cookie. “It has a sublime simplicity of design, and more importantly a wonderful sense of surprise that comes with the ritual opening of them after a nice meal. The cookie is a gift. You don’t pay for it. And then, once you open the tiny package, you receive a forecast or positive message, and then you instantly want to share your fortune with everyone around you.” The results? She made these beautiful suede leather small fortune coin purses which comes with 3 different fortunes to choose from: All things are possible, everything is going to be alright and of course, follow your bliss."

I know that's a secret, for it's whispered everywhere...

"People have long suspected that there are very special powers inherent in stones. Now it has been proved that they can even speak! Whether plainly or poetically depends entirely on you - a ‘tender whisper’ or an unemotional ‘your meal is in the fridge’ - you can provide the talking pebble with a new text. It is sensitive to light and shade."
