Be the first to see the HANGA brooch/pendant - a stylish and practical fashion accessory, designed to hang your reading glasses, sun glasses or identity badges on. With the versatile two-way fixing pin you can chose to wear it as a brooch or a pendant, to best suit your outfit. This unique design by Claire Fairweather is hand-crafted from polymer clay, here in New Zealand
Claire has been designing contemporary art-brooches as a hobby, since settling in Auckland from the UK
A limited number from the first HANGA collection will be making a debut at the Mission Bay Art and Craft Market on Labour Day, Monday 25 October from 10.00am – 4.00pm. You will find Claire’s stand on Row 1. Thereafter, she will be at Coatesville Market on the first Sunday of each month.
Wow, Claire, it is fun watching you move along with your "Hanga". I'm always excited to see how people do with new inspirations and ideas. I look forward to your reports of how well these amazing creations/artwork/functional jewelry sell!
ReplyDeleteNancy, thank you for your interest and encouragement - I have only just seen the comment you left. It is always a bit daunting, launching a new idea to the public, spending many hours working on something you believe is a great idea but wondering if anyone else will think so.
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased with the outcome of the debut event yesterday, and am keeping my fingers crossed that I can build on this further. Once I leave my full-time job, at the end of this week, I can concentrate on making and promoting the HANGA more extensively.
