And the making of of another 'Bread Bag' necklace!
I changed the string in the end to a twined one, since the thin one didn’t look nice…
Lots of coiling 🙂
If you wanna try it out yourself, just search for tutorials on Coiling Basketry, cut yourself some strips from plastic bags and off you go!

Bread bag asmr or something 🤣 - lots of plastic bread bags, color sorted, waiting to be cut into strips and woven into little basket-like objects. Thank you so much to all the friends faithfully and carefully collecting bags for me 💚

Some coiling with strips cut from plastic bags. In real time this time so you can get a feel for how long it actually takes 😅
I usually twist the weaver quite tightly, as that gives the structure more strength. Using a spindle helps a lot with that but I haven't included that in this reel. I'm also adding a new weaver here: just adding it into the core and then starting to twist and weave with it when the previous weaver is almost done. All basic coiling technique.

It's finally getting lighter and warmer here in the North. So nice to have some sun spots while weaving...

I wanted to show off this AMAZING turkish style spindle a friend of my in-laws made for me for Christmas (just because he wanted to try making one). I just got round to using it now because I only recently attached the top hook.
I’m in love with this thing, so beautifully crafted and with two sets of weights/crosses to easily interchange. Can’t get enough of working with it. Thank you, thank you, thank you M.H.

(yes, I changed back to the heavier cross for spinning the plastic string)

Making of the brooch Breadbasket 5.biod. ABOUT A

Making of the brooch Breadbasket 5.biod.

ABOUT A TUTORIAL: there have been requests for one - just search for tutorials on the basketry technique called coiling and you should find lots. Then just use plastic bags cut into strips as material!

I am proud to say this piece can be seen at the Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Center (UK) since saturday in the exhibition Past Present Future where members of the Precious Collective examine the theme of sustainability in their own practice.

This brooch is made from (supposedly) biodegradable bags, but there is a whole set of problems with these, among others the question if they actually fall apart under normal outside conditions and if they just leave more micro plastics in their wake. As usual in my work, despite the problems I have still treated them with care and respect as a valuable material, as I think our problems often stem more from how we use certain materials, their overproduction, than necessarily the materials themselves.

Grown Into Shape
wall piece, 2023
Bread bags and other plastic packaging waste
33 x 33cm

A foray into making slightly bigger non-jewelry. Did not quite get the “bigger” part right as it’s still only 33 cm square. With the thicker coils only being about 5mm one can imagine it’s quite laborious to make something even just half a metre and bigger, so I really need to get used to making way bigger coils 😅
I am quite fond of the colour shift though.

There’s another event coming up next week (opening on the 17th Feb.) that I am really proud of being a part of! Once again organised through the extremely actively led Precious Community, Past Present Future is an exhibition at Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre that will run for 3 months.

Each participating artist contributed with 3 pieces, 2 older ones and one specially made for this event, which react to questions as:
“How can jewellery challenge & contribute to the language of sustainability?
What are the conversations about sustainably that are triggered by the jewels we make?
Where are the questions in our practice about sustainability & how do they have a
connected relationship with the making, methods & materials we use?”

Project lead and curated by @markmcleishstudio assisted by @lynne_speake ❤️
