Let me decipher the name 'kpDeco'. 'kp' of course are my initials. 'Deco' has been inspired by Art Deco, a style known for its stylized forms and geometric designs. From photography to crochet to constructive textiles and more, I experiment with various ideas steered from one another turning them into designs. However, unlike Art Deco I apply hands-on approach to my work which makes my work what it is. And this is what 'kpDeco' stands for. Design with a touch of craft.

Blue Sun
For a while now, I have been thinking about a name for this jewellery set. It is an addition to my collection and it deserves a title. So let's have a look at my thinking process.
To start with, it has a blue element to it. Therefore, 'blue' is given. But blue what? Blue necklace, bracelet and earrings set? That sounds boring. Blue and black beads on a silver chain is far too long. And then it finally downed on me.
Remembering what I always say (and also forget), I looked at this photograph from different angle through different eyes. I stood back and examined the relationship with its surroundings.
Yes, it is a jewellery set, that is for sure. But it also has eyes and a very big mouth. It is sitting on something round that has a wire support suggested underneath. As a unit it IS a sun. A sun with a few of its own rays hanging along the bottom section.
Phew, that was exhausting. But at least here is my title: 'Blue Sun'.
