Every school should have a giant something
Just wanted to share some beautiful community art. The Wanguri Primary School, not far from where I live has just had the finishing touches done to an amazing barramundi sculpture. When I first moved up to Darwin 2 1/2 years ago, only about 1/3 of the fish had mosaics. A hoy went out earlier this year
for someone to help out and it was finally finished.
Created by artist Techy Masero, the 250kg steel frame was cemented in place back in June 2009. It was then covered in a fine mesh and coated with concrete and then beautiful glass tiles.
The barra was chosen in recognition of the local indigenous Larrakia and Wangurri people and the tile patterns were designed by the students.
Techy Masero has lived and worked her artistic magic in Darwin and the Northern Territory for about 20 years. I couldn't find out were she is now. I think she'd be amazingly happy with the result.

I got KISSed twice this week.
Yep the big old KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid..... or Sweetie if your saying it to someone else) smacked me in the head last week.
I've been making brooches for years and normally just use the commercial brooch clip with the little safety wheel that secures it in place. They're great but are made not to be seen. The one I've been wracking my brains about lately is a clip that can hang a dangle from, like an old fashioned nurses watch. I've had this concept in my head for a while and have made several drawings. And of course I was getting in my own way making them way too complicated and time consuming.
I mucked around making my own pin and spring then tried decorating a ready made pin. Then it dawned on me..... use the normal brooch pins solder on a jump ring and stamp the front. It was one of those weird moments that you feel wonderful, it's simple, cost effective and looks good. And then I also felt stupid, like I'd wasted so much time. But with a couple of d…
