Find, Make, Do: Shopping by Colour
http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2011/04/shopping-by-colour.html
About Find, Make, Do. Thursday, April 7, 2011. I love this series of photographs by Marco Ugolini. Displaying supermarket products divided by color. They are currently part of a group exhibition called Food For Thought. There is no doubt the colour of food packaging can evoke a response in the consumer. Which raises the question. Are we being influenced by food companies to purchase their products according to the colour of the packet? Posted by Betty Jo. June 19, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

About Find, Make, Do. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. While shopping in my favorite precinct of King St. Newtown while on holiday in Sydney, I finally got to visit Made590. And was very taken with these Pin Pal. They kind of summed up me and my moods when on a holiday with two kids and no Mr BJ! I now want the matching hair clip. I have been a fan of Pin Pals on Etsy. For ages, and love their cute blog. Sara is an illustrator and designs paper toys and T-shirts. Posted by Betty Jo. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Find, Make, Do: August 2010

About Find, Make, Do. Sunday, August 29, 2010. I wandered past Robyn Stewardson's owlie assemblages at the last Abbotsford Makers Market. And had to immediately backtrack to have a better look. Robyn constructs her Kitchen Owls from all manner of discarded metal kitchen bric-a-brac. If you ever invite Robyn over for tea, I'd keep a close watch on your strainers and saucepan lids! Every owl has it's own name and personality a. And is soon to release a range of 2011 calendars with her snappy images. For up...

http://findmakedo.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
About Find, Make, Do. Saturday, September 11, 2010. As I seem to be totally engrossed in assembling clocks. I have collected a few of my favorite time pieces assembled from recycled materials from flickr. From the simple vintage plate to the tin robot assemblage, adding a clock movement takes the item from decorative to functional. 2 Atomic Eggbeater Clock. I love Kim from the Sassy Crafter's. Of egg beaters to make her version of the Atomic Clock. Vintage trays also get a makeover in the Sassy Crafter's.

About Find, Make, Do. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Out of Frying Pan into the Fire! The mystery items from the "What am I' competition were the bottom of frying pans! These magical images were via one of my favorite blogs Junkculture. The clue was a link to Junkculture in my side bar! The photographer responsible is Christopher Jonasson. The winner is Julianne from Sister Outlaws. Who, after having a few stabs including door knobs and darning mushrooms finally deduced the correct answer. Posted by Betty Jo.

The Great Hanky Drive. 28 June, 2010. I was going to save this for Thursday's Creative Space. But I just can't keep it to myself. It's my 'new' desk - so that I don't have to keep moving my laptop and paperwork on and off the dinner table (I do have a perfectly good desk in our office - but it's too far away from little children). Here's the before. (a handmedown from a friend, that was previously used as a child's desk) . And, wait for it . here's the AFTER! Paint glue over the whole surface. At least f...
