The New Zealand Jewellery Show - Regal Casting Awards

The results are up for the finalists.  This year seems to be an Auckland sweep. Congratulations to Gillian Deery, Nadene Carr, Kvetoslava Flora Sekanova.  I am honored to be a member of this gang.

I submitted this piece after working and working on a planned masterpiece... that refused to let itself come into being.  I had been twiddling away on this piece (pictured) between melt downs on version A, B and C of afore mentioned failed masterpiece.  All the good stuff happens when you are not trying.  From the sound of it Nadene and Gillian also had similar, last minute changes of heart when it came to the work that they eventually entered.  I think that judge, Lisa Walker, might have sniffed out the blah-fuck moments.
