Bonne chance mes amis
Fin 17th December 2023
Interview by local press:
And the long read
Always thinking of new displays, I constructed a mockup in the studio of my shop cubicle. Its not a super big cubicle so I had to max it out
My ingenious ring display! I had this clear acrylic laser cut with 12 slots for the rings & set it on an Ikea phone stand, spray painted white. I drilled a hole behind the acrylic for an earring stalk display but as time went on, I would stick a laser cut rose gold mirrored palm tree in it instead. I covered some boxes with a linen jacquard fabric I bought in Lille one time when we went over on the Eurostar, so it was you know, French. On theme.
I made the cube bases and cast them in resin with heavy nuts and bolts inside so they would stand the weight of the earrings. The two seen above had some patina applied in the form of black shoe polish, well known stuff in the world of sculpture. The black metal stalks came from stands readily available if you google jewellery display. I just took them apart.
These ideas were also put to use at markets. My display is GOD. It started at Sous le Soleil.
Always find pricing is the hardest thing, I get a bit emotional with pricing. Genuinely stressful
Mathias supported anything I brought in & did everything he could to sell it. I was so bummed when only 2 or maybe 3? of my beautiful cuffs sold. I super LOVE my cuffs. Didnt go down in Roseville
Shelfings same. Zero sold even at the end when EVERYTHING was being sold. I said whats wrong with people and gave it a Gallic shrug
Whats wrong with people
And that is that. I publish this on the 17th December 2023, the last day of Sous le Soleil. I say thank you. Literally wouldn’t have done it without you. I will miss you so much.
