"Born on New Years Eve in the winter of discontent when striking gravediggers left coffins unburied for several weeks, Bert is the daughter of a dentist father and of a criminologist mother. Her father’s catch phrase “ its only pain” and her mother’s bedtime tales of heads in fridges provide some explanation as to how this small, blonde, industrial powerhouse turned into the driving force of Bert Industries."
Speaking of Sketchbook, it's like the editorial gift that keeps on giving. Another one of my contributors, the lovely Bert of Bert Industries her fantabulous illustrations, who so thoughtfully illuminated my Johnny interview (you'll have to wait til the mag comes out for those images), also happens to be a really quirky jewellery designer, being the offspring of a dentist and criminologist, she'd pretty much have to be.
So I thought I'd share some of her pieces with you. In particular, this tooth cuff. I think it would be so cool to turn it into a personalized sort of "ID" bracelet. Since everyone's teeth are like a unique signature which the cast of CSI can then use to identify the bizarrely mangled bodies of legions of underpaid extras, while this may be somewhat unpleasant at the time of, you could take a cast of your teeth (dentist-style) and then have your own tooth ID bracelet made to order!
