“Petit Bijou” N° KS-001
"Cogitations" Range / Collection Femininities A feminist object that does better than a slogan. A small graphic picture in glitter and fuchsia pink, which not everyone decodes at first glance.
Its story
I didn't want to make twee Kinusaiga. I wanted less naive patterns, things you don't see elsewhere, and something very graphic, very geometric.
The work of Maryon Simon (@tue_l.amour), artist, stained-glass maker and feminist, inspired me a lot.
Hence the idea of drawing breasts and clitorises. Later on, I'll work them in lots of colours, but the first one, I wanted girly, for once.
It's the first Kinusaiga piece I'm happy enough with to put up for sale 🥹
The glitter comes from a canvas I had left over from the Ra-ta-tam pouch and the “Alice” sling bag. I paired it with offcuts of fuchsia pink poplin: a colour pop enough to catch the eye, but smooth enough to leave all the room to the glitter, by contrast.
The result has a little touch of protest, without overdoing it either: at 10 × 10 cm, we're a long way from a mural. Very colourful, but easy on the eye, and graphic enough that not everyone gets it straight away: those who know, know.
A slightly funny, slightly cheeky object that starts conversations with the people who drop by your place. And a gift idea for THAT friend who already owns every feminist mug in the world 🙄
Want to see where the glitter canvas comes from?
The Ra-ta-tam pouch “Alice” is still available, the “Alice” sling bag has already found its home.
And if it's the technique that caught your eye: Kinusaiga can be learned.
At home with the Discovery Kit (instructions in French), or with me at a workshop.
