bondi market

i visited bondi market to find out what they sell, how other stalls display & what price ranges are...it was quite full on! and now i understood why i couldn't get in there yet! there were many many many stalls like fashion items and vintage things, home wares...also baby stuff, too. and of course jwelleries are everywhere....!!!

It was serious windy day and most stall holders looked a bit stressful as i am certainly aware of that stress...for my experiences...it is very intense work...! under the SUN...and WIND....

i want to try here...

my big question is...

i came across something very basic question most creator might think, too.

should i make something i like or for wearer?

is this the difference between commercial & art???

then, i am asking to myself...am i artist or maker?

i am not an artist.

i definately say that i am a maker who designs & creates something out of something.....

almost a year after my first boarding

coming ANZAC day reminds me of last emerging designers exhibition at Paddington.

It's already almost a year ago now...wow...i would say time's flying.

I was full of passion for making jewellery at that time and very ambitious to be a jewellery practitioner for sure! i have entered total 9 group exhibitions/competitions in 2008 and put pieces at young blood market & rocks markets, too.

last year was really intense...i think...

always there were somethings going on after one by one...

but i feel a bit lazy this year ...

where is all my energy?

where is it all gone?

let me start slowly...
