I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

I’m in London at the moment doing a quick photoshoot, and will be back in Warsaw by Tuesday. Apologies to the Warsaw-love post right below, but it’s fantastic to be back; I guess it really takes to be away from a place to truly appreciate it. Owh goodness, I’m so spoiled.

Anyway I thought I’d post how my geometric necklace turned out  – tutorial here by Dnyce. I wanted the necklace to be somewhat asymmetric, but being a n00b and all, didn’t realise that it’s not that simple in jewellery architecture, so had to improvise with chains… Huge respect to Dnyce and those others savvy for jewellery construction; it surprisingly requires a lot of logic and craftsmanship, neither of which I posess in great dosage.

    Absence does make the heart grow fonder, no? That necklace is sweet. I can’t even make something out of popsicle sticks, so I’m super impressed!

    So digging all these DIYs floating around the blogosphere. I wish I had the patience and the nimble fingers to make this necklace. It’s awesome.

    August 3, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    I like the little modification you did with the chains in the geometric shape. I think it would be so cool to push this even furthur, and insert even more organic hanging shapes in between the geometry, sort of like visual paradox

    As usual, your DIY’s are the best documented and visually nice to look at.

  25. Shini
    August 3, 2009 at 11:16 pm

    As the Koreans like to say, Above the man who walks, there’s always a man who flies (yuh, so doesn’t make sense but you get it) I think you’re the one that’s always going to fly, you genius. I never thught of that, organic hanging would be fantastic, what an idea… clearly you need to be the one performing that magic though.

    London has a few upsides (most of them related to le girlfriend), but other than that, it stinks. It’s overpopulated, people there are rude, almost everyone is a headlong-rushing self-possessed snob. Knife crime on the rise, dirt everywhere, noise, crappy phone-music, late buses and no trams.. ehhh..

    I actually really like the necklace (or w/e that is) that you’re making.
    Credits to me for displaying continuous endurance and patience in the weirdo-chain-and-other-crappers (like buttons and pins and.. girly stuff) store.

    Also, it’s not n00b, but n()()b. Get your pro-gamer grammar right.

    Always whining,
    ~le boyfriend

    Hi there!

    I’m currently putting together Issue #016 of N.E.E.T., a non-profit Online Fashion + Design Magazine, with the emphasis all on grassroots creativity and fashion. N.E.E.T. showcases independent designers, shops and artists from all over the world.

    In every issue, we have a DIY tutorial – in past issues, we’ve had ruffle skirts by Kingdom of Style, crafty restyled shoes by Heidi Seeker, and origami paper bracelets by Fashion is Spinach. I’ve been looking for a new tutorial for the September issue of N.E.E.T., and I had a look at your fabulous blog today. I came across the beaded tights tutorial (http:parkandcube.com/?p=1543#comments) – it’s amazing!

    I think it would be great for our new issue, if I could turn it into a tutorial, utilising your photos and text. Is this something that would interest you? N.E.E.T. is a not-for-profit publication so no compensation can be given, but full credit would be given to you, with links to your blog, of course!

    Looking forward to hearing from you, please email me at: thefashionmagazine@gmail.com
