New art pendant designs

  

Starting with dichroic fragments, I decided to construct new exciting pendants to add to my collection.

Each fragment, left from previous use, I cut down and collaged on opalescent black.
 


These are two of my favourite creations this week. They both have a variety of shape size and colour.  Each piece utilising depth, pattern and iridescence.

Big Bold and new! This turquoise abstract pendant has been carefully constructed to give that WOW factor. I tried to make it a statement piece. It's made of transparent glass to reflect the light and change the shade of the glass. It is a 3d pendant, the fragmented dichroic is ridged and textured.

Have you seen the new Facebook Home App?

I just found out about Facebook Home. The brand new addition to Facebook and supposedly revoutionising social media this year. The Changing the Face of Smartphones can been seen in depth here: https://www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed

It looks like Facebook have finally got it right, people are actually on a waiting list for this upgrade. Tech enthusiasts thought Mark Zuckerberg was going to announce the release of a Facebook phone, but instead unveiled the new, game changing Facebook Home user interface.

The new Facebook Home's most interesting new feature is the choice of feeds option. The Facebook story has been re-designed to put the spotlight on what your friends are sharing. You can see a visual version of photos, music, following, all friends etc in an effort to de-clutter Facebook. It will operate as a new age app suite styled specifically for Android phones. From group chats to user faces popups new specialized Facebook algorithms have been designed to monitor all this for you. It is supposed to make facebook more personal and concentrate on the people who interact on Facebook, not just be a very cool app.

At the moment there is a waiting list for the transfer. This interface sees Facebook switching the focus of the average Android phone design from functionality to friendship. In the words of Mark Zuckerberg "the idea of a modern computer won't be around."
