Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #35 - Don't Get Your Heart Set On It
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/08/amulet-35-dont-get-your-heart-set-on-it.html
Wednesday, 24 August 2011. Amulet #35 - Don't Get Your Heart Set On It. What I love about this phrase 'Que Sera Sera' is partly the shonky and very literal Spanish translation (Que = What, Sera = Will Be, Sera = Will Be) but also that the song gets re-purposed by hopeful football supporters ("We're going to Wemb-le-y). This one should stand as a reminder that no matter what outcome any of us would like. To see, we actually have very little power over the end result. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rachel's 100 Days: March 2010
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 4 March 2010. Amulet #32 - Head Above Water. I had an email from my friend Itta who said she had stumbled across my blog and empathized strongly with Amulet #30. I am really glad that these sentiments make sense to other people and this amulet is now winging its way to Itta, to help her keep her head above water and (as she puts it) to protect her from "the drowning effect of the too many questions my tutors will throw at me!

Friday, 15 January 2010. Amulet #11 - Never can say goodbye. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog will document my pledge as part of the 100 days project - to make an amulet ("an object that protects a person from trouble") everyday, photograph it, and post it on here. I could really do with your comments, ideas and general support - I think it could get tough! You can see what this 100 Days thing it is all about on http:/ www.hundreddays.net/.

Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #40 - Play The Ukulele
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/09/amulet-40-play-ukulele.html
Tuesday, 6 September 2011. Amulet #40 - Play The Ukulele. When I was confined to bed with flu for 4 days last spring. I'm glad that this amulet combines a kind of cheeky sauciness with quite an earnest wish to become better at playing musical instruments. I can't help but feel that George Formby (my inspiration for wanting to learn to play) would be proud! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #37 - Don't Let Plymouth Get You Down
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/08/amulet-37-dont-let-plymouth-get-you.html
Monday, 29 August 2011. Amulet #37 - Don't Let Plymouth Get You Down. This is another of the amulets I made sometime around last March (mid-hiatus on this project). It was specially designed for my friend Sarah (also the more recent recipient of Amulet #35. Who was having a hard time at work in Plymouth at the time. Hannah called Would You Like This Badge? 16 March 2013 at 09:45. I had fun choosing this particular painting online that now hangs in my downtown office, from Wahooart.com, who sells canv...

Rachel's 100 Days: February 2010
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 3 February 2010. Amulet #30 - Don't give up just yet. part 2. My daily struggle with self-discipline continues! Project by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. When I first saw a picture of the banner that said "You Will Find It", I didn't really respond to it but over the last few months it seems to be making a lot more sense. I think it has got something to do with not knowing exactly what you are looking for but knowing that it is out there somewhere, if you just keep looking. He just writes ...

Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #36 - Not The British Museum
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/08/amulet-36-not-british-museum.html
Thursday, 25 August 2011. Amulet #36 - Not The British Museum. However, over a year on, I'm not sure how well this amulet has worked. Have a look at Cara's current project http:/ instability-in-stability.co.uk. Where she has locked herself away in her loft for the last 3 months, investigating and archiving every object it contains) and judge for yourself. As you can imagine, even this amulet has been described, archived and added to the inventory. As has Amulet #17. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #41 & #42 - Forget Me Not
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/09/amulet-41-42-forget-me-not.html
Tuesday, 13 September 2011. Amulet #41 and #42 - Forget Me Not. My very lovely friends Sarah and Ulysses are both moving away. to different parts of the world. Just before they left I made them this pair of amulets to remind them of the times we have shared together and to protect them on their new adventures. This now officially makes Sarah the most-amuleted person I know (other than myself) as this is the 3rd amulet she has received (see also Amulet #37. She obviously needs a lot of protecting!

Rachel's 100 Days: Amulet #39 - One Bite At A Time
http://rachel100days.blogspot.com/2011/08/amulet-39-one-bite-at-time.html
Wednesday, 31 August 2011. Amulet #39 - One Bite At A Time. Today I'm blogging another amulet from OPERATION CATCH-UP (made in March 2010) and this one I can give a very specific date to, as it was made as a birthday present for my long-time collaborator Hannah Jones (the other half of LOW PROFILE. This amulet consists of 3 fridge magnets specially made to hold Hannah's "Schedule of Dreams" to the fridge in her kitchen. You'll be glad to know that Amulet #33. This, however, is possibly a long way off.
