A whimsical sense of play is exemplified by Katy Hackney's flower brooch. The London based artist's work is hugely material driven. Working with woods, plastics, precious and non precious metals, found objects, formica, paint & enamel; her pieces are influenced by vintage toys and folk art.
Take some time to forage around toys. Wallow in kids. Remind yourself to be playful or perhaps even quaint. Add a dash of fanciful. Mix in something mischievous. Explore all that is curious. Embrace the quirks of the world around you. And express it in your work.
