More LAUNCH news..

CBB is finally having an official Launch Party at OUi Boutique in St Kevin's Arcade on Krd, Auckland, to co-incide with our 3rd issue! Date to be announced..

Not only will Sharon have 30 lightbulbs with knitted cosies (not switched on, they're kind of a fire hazard!) hanging in the window, Sally Shand - an Issue Three featured artist - have her work on the wall but Nicola is now exhibiting some of her new necklaces as well! We are very excited, everything has turned out quite cohesive!

A while ago Nicola started casting tree roots in solid silver, which she is now turning into necklaces. They are so intricate, the casting process picks up all the little bumps on the root so they look very lifelike and pretty much awesome so come along if you want one all your own!

These are my lightbulb cosies in progress - 12 down, 18 to go! It's so great to be given a chance to do this on a large scale because I really enjoyed doing the four that were featured in Issue Two, but 30!! Very cool..

Oh and there's a pretty big possibility that any purchaser of CBB #3 will also get an individually screenprinted poster of their very own too..

Swap-A-Cloth

If your wardrobe looks anything like my sister's you should probably head along to Swap-A-Cloth, held at 8A Mount Eden Road, Saturday 21st February, from 10-4pm, as you'll have a lot of pre-loved (clean!) clothing to choose from to put in a bag to take along!

Take $5 with you and swap to your heart's content till your bag is refilled - you may not diminish any piles of clothing cluttering up your room but at least the piles will be of new clothes!

To make the day even better there will be screenprinting, sewing machines and other do-it-yourself crafts to modify existing items, that, along with the drinks and home baked goodies that will be available and the fact that it's all for charity should be all the reasons you need to head along!

Exciting News!!

I went into OUi Boutique (where the zine is stocked along with World Sweet World and Makeshift) in St Kevin's Arcade today to take some sweet pics to accompany the interview for Issue Three with Lou, the owner, who is so awesome that she's offered to have a CBB #3 Launch Party at the shop! Which we are both very excited about! As this can only happen once we have Issue Three out it means we've just got one more reason to keep working away at it.

We've officially got all content so thanks to everyone who is contributing, it's going to be a great Issue!

See you all at the Launch! 

Back On!

CBB #3 is officially back on! Keep your eyes peeled..
