No.224 My Shoes
Made due to an observation and a comment by Freddie Yauner.
I am awaiting his "Shoe Shot" and I might do a series called "My Shoes".
No.222 I am Tired
"I realised why it is design museums are still full of chairs, chairs last longer than electronics do, and if your a designer there is still something… I think, unsatisfying about an object which if it’s a mobile telephone is vanished in six months and a chair which still has a validity after One Hundred years Is that true?"

No.217 Broaching Brooch or Badge
This badge was inspired by a badge that I saw on a blog called MAKER-WEARER-VIEWER.
Laura Potter informed & directed me to this blog a good few months ago. The Blog belongs to Zoe Brand, she is making 365 Brooches. Our projects are inseparable in places and I am very jealous of some of her designs, "Moustache Monocle", A Cork Pin Board named "Not Today" and the brutally simple "$10 Silver".
Anyway I had not checked her blog since late July and since she has had a badge made that says "my other brooch is a Ted Noten". Now I had always skirted and/or flirted around broaching (wink-wink) this idea that I was straying from Badges into Brooches and back again, avoiding in the process directly defining either, as I don't know what I am doing. But it has to be said that they are all labeled & tagged badge, so they must be badges. RIght?!
But having seen this badge/ brooch I could not avoid confronting this subject head on and turn this monologue into a Dialogue. So firstly I have re-designed I mean re-made her badge as I gather from Zoe's post that she wasn't so happy with the result. Maybe she won't like this either… The other badge is my addition to the dialogue, and an acknowledgement that I have in some cases have made Brooches and will continue to do so. This Post is labeled/tagged for the first time Brooch.

No.214 Pin the Badge on the WMD
Badge by Laura Potter
(click on image to enlarge)
"I have a badge for your T-shirt stu. Make 4 identical badges saying WMD and place
them at the 4 locations indicated (in England) on this map
http://archive.greenpeace.org/wmd/
I think the badges need a red outline circle and the text in red. Something very
bold and imposing."
