Oldies obsessed - You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover by Bo Diddley

"You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover" is a song by Bo Diddley, one of THE rock and roll pioneers. It came out in 1962 and has been covered by many other great artists ever since.

contemporary jewellery crushes - Karl Fritsch

Today I want to introduce you to another of my jewellery-crushes:

Karl Fritsch

He fascinates me by using archetype-rings and questioning these forms as well as the value of materials, gemstones and everyday-objects.

"I´m fascinated by jewellery and by the fact that every person owns and wears ornaments of one kind or another. This universality impresses me and stimulates me to make jewellery which I would like to see people wearing. Those people could be my aunts or anyone else."

busy with what you ask?
with making lots of jewellery!

and there are a few new items in the family; an expansion on the dip-dye-series: rings and necklaces!
