Studio 20/17 invites you to the opening of Winter Brooches 2009Wednesday 3rd June 6 - 8pm“A friend once remarked “A brooch?! Oh no!Only old ladies wear those!” As I have come to understand it, the general consensus is that a brooch is a decorative object that is placed, pinned or worn on the body’s landscape, at the neck, shoulder or breast, and is worn especially by women.Especially by women?! Rubbish! I believe brooches have almost universal appeal and you do not have to be the most ‘daring’…See More

- About
- Me.....
I was from Burma and arrived Australia in 2005. I decided to start new career in new place. I then studied Diploma of jewellery and object design at Design Centre Enmore. I am still studying there for jewellery manufacturing.
My works.....
My works are mostly related to Myanmar (Burma) where I grow up. The influences from my background take me to develop a concept to work with. Bringing my past experiences into my works is exciting. Presenting Burmese culture in contemporary context is a challenge for me.
I like working with metals. They are harder but they can be formed into shapes and forms. It needs lots of experiments and patience to achieve the manipulation of metals. I enjoy solving the problems during the process of changing metal sheet into a form or flow. Sometimes I don’t know where I was going exactly but my experiments lead me a way. I want my works to be quiet and meaningful therefore I don’t keep them highly polished.
My works are dialogues of my thoughts. They are not only to wear as jewellery or to decorate as objects. I would like the viewer to talk or discuss on my works. They are the stories written by craft skills.

Its great to have you join up.
There is lots of stuff you can do on kit and caboodle - put images, news and events up, ask/answer stuff in the forums, join a group and yes, you can even pimp your page. Its easy to move elements around and to change the format of your page.
Just remember kit and caboodle is a public network, its aim is promotional, so be sure to only put up personal details that you are comfortable with. There are privacy and email options in the settings. (Gazillions of kit and caboodle emails in your inbox driving you bonkers? Check out how to fix that in FAQ on the right.)
Kit and caboodle is an ideal place to put up posts about exhibitions or any current news that you have. There is a lot of interest in the network. It would be great if you posted regularly in the blog, you can choose to have blog posts on your page and/or on the front page. Add some images and links too.
Also dont forget to join our facebook page. Say hi to Sonya.
Most of all, there are lots of opportunities to network with other jewellers, outlets, galleries and to see what is happening in the world of contemporary jewellery. It should be fun. Anytime you have a problem, or cant work something out, let me know.
Cheers
Cathy
