Update on Chicken Leather

ByAdey Thani April 20, 2011January 28, 2014

Hi,

I haven’t been on here for sometime.That is because I am still very busy making my chicken leather. So, for those skeptics who have visited my website and blog, before you say ‘oh, just as I thought, a flash in the pan’ No, that is not the case!

It is a lot of hard work! Not everybody can do it. I don’t mind getting dirty sometimes, its one of the dangers of the trade of being an artist and designer. The skins require a lot of painstaken work, cleaning them and curing them. Its a work that is very much in progress and I have to juggle all of this with a full-time job,but i’m not complaining.

My main job now is to find someone to make them for me into bags and shoes…I am still searching. When they’re done I shall post the pictures on here.

A window blind made from till roll receipt spools. It is decorative and functional. The Arrangement can be hung in strips adapted to a mechanism, which is why the lower half is left to hang loose to portray this idea.

Weave

ByAdey Thani November 11, 2011January 28, 2014

I have never woven before but have always been curious about the way baskets are woven. The weave and warp that characterises these sort of craft is an area that I am looking into and I have experimented here with reclaimed cardboards cut into strips, then indented to create a deep recess. This is a…

Creative Practice Research

I have been looking at other things for inspiration to create something in 3D. Below are photographs of buildings and other forms that interest me. Where this is going to lead me to I’m afraid its very hard to tell at the moment. I feel inspired by the egg-lamps which were the creations of a…

I never knew what to do with these modular shaped spools with their perfectly round, strong and sturdy form. But felt it had…
