 The
HCJ Project is all about "Handmade
Contemporary Jewellery" and
building somewhere for the discussion and discovery of contemporary
jewellery and small object art.As the project administrator I spend more time than most exploring the pathways which lead out from the site. These "pathways" usually lead somewhere I already know: but as more "site friends" join the project I stumble on sites and blogs which I haven't previously seen. I thought I'd post some of these "finds" so more people can discover them.  These images come from a
blog I discovered for the first time through the "site friend
profile" of Phyo Zar Thwin.Zoe has taken the rather narcissistic trend of 365 days (a Flick phenomenon) and given it a neat, creative, jewellery related twist. I don't know how or if Phyo Zar Thwin is connected with Zoe Brand. Probably not at all, as blogs Phyo Zar Thwin "follows" are displayed as "Sites I've joined" in Phyo's site friend profile (unless of course they choose not to show them). Zoe Brand says of her 365 brooches project .... "365 Brooches - Inspired by some crafty people,
I have decided to create my own '365 project', essentially making a
brooch a day for one year. This project will be used as a means of
exploring ideas, processes and found materials that I have collected,
nay hoarded over the years. I see these 'brooches' as quick 'sketches'
of ideas rather than actual finished pieces, and as such they may only
take a few minutes to make, but allow for the ideas in my head to
become some form of a reality. They may not be pretty, they may not be
practical and they may be something else entirely but they are a start,
and what better place to begin than that."
