Frankenstein
The always lovely Katie Jacobs made me this pretty darn awesome Frankenstein/ grasping zombie hand cup.
Adore it! The glaze, the gold, the blue inside, the weight!! It feels great to hold.

the NUMAN
You are invited to witness the birth of a new man.
The Numan is a dependent creature designed to induce empathy, by promoting an examination of what it means to be human.
Complete with interchangeable body parts, The Numan exists as a human-shaped vessel for textile, ceramic and electronic components, crafted in an electro-gothic style*.
Designed by Rohani Osman (knitting and crochet), Brittany Veitch (felt and soft sculpture) and Katie Jacobs (ceramics), The Numan is an art exhibition that allows you to play God.
How we treat our most vulnerable members of society can be seen as a measure of society as a whole. Similarly, how you choose to use The Numan will illustrate complex questions about action and consequences, and about the inter-dependency of humanity.
Choose wisely…
Exhibition dates - Thursday 23rd June to Sunday 10th July 2011
Location - c3 Contemporary Artspace, Abbotsford Convent, 1 St. Heliers Street, Abbotsford, Victoria 3070
Gallery hours Wednesday to Sunday, 10am - 5pm
*This self-authored style is a union between traditional Gothic or grotesque leitmotifs and a 1980’s new wave and electronic music aesthetic. The Numan is gender neutral, influenced by the androgyny of David Bowie and Grace Jones.

Lady Beards
Working with the fab Ms Katie Jacobs for a project about BEARDS at the Hawthorn townhall.
So we're planning on making bearded ladies or lady beards. A series of 6 famous Australian facial hair --beards and moustaches-- as female pubic hair.
It will be an interactive piece, where the public can choose the lady beard, and attach it onto our lady on the wall.
At the moment, we're thinking the lady will be a re-drawing of Venus de Milo.
the lady beards are going to be
1. Map of Tasmania, 3D mini model with river system.
2. The cricketer, long stitch brown wool a la Boon, Chappell or Merv Hughes.
3. The Nick Cave/The Bad Seed, a Cave moustache woven from cassette tape spool.
4. The Shannon Noll, flannel shirt of the uber gross goatee
5. The Ned Kelly, styled like his famed armour, made from tin with rivets and peephole.
Some photos of mucking around...inspiration picks.
We do try to be witty, non gross, non porn, and not overtly feminist.

recent un-busy
As of recent, doing anything creative has had some down time. My maman is ill, which really freaked me out at first (things are better now), i've been quite tired from work, and almost feel as if i'm becoming a shut in.
I rarely venture from my flat and it's quite hard catching up with people.
Project making has slowed down, yet there is a big list of things i want to make and do.
I considered picking up more shifts at my work for extra money, but that won't make me happy. Modding some pants into super skinny ankle biting/leg sausage casing pants made me happier.
Here is the last thing I made. It was for a friend's birthday.
'A humble slice of pie', very much a part of Veni Vidi Vici. I wanted to give me friend something handmade but not just any of rag tag/scruffy style of things i make. The pie slice is a single serve version of 'Magpie pie' from the Veni Vidi Vici exhibition, which i made with katie Jacobs. The slice is missing the amazing glossy texture of the original ceramic pie crust.
ANd even though it lacks the lovely ceramic crust, I think it came out ok. The raised crust stitching wasn't planned, but just happened that way. Beak and feet were left over from the original VVV pie, crust and meat are handmade alpaca felt.
