As soon as I saw these super brooches by Viv Sliwka of Hens Teeth I burst into song. Viv has named her creations “Pamela”.
This is how she describes them on her Instagram page
Yes but why have I burst into song you might be asking. Do you remember Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders ? If you do you might remember this song -
Pamela, Pamela
Remember the days
Of inkwells and apples
And books and school plays
Where little Brer Rabbit kissed Pooh in the wood
And Fluff was the cat that sat on the rug
Oh, Pamela
I remember so well
Remember the days
Of inkwells and apples
And books and school plays
Where little Brer Rabbit kissed Pooh in the wood
And Fluff was the cat that sat on the rug
Oh, Pamela
I remember so well
When Laurel and Hardy were shown at the flicks
With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks
Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss
Secret discussions about a first kiss
But you were young
And everything was new
Impatient to do things you couldn't do
Oh, Pamela, Pamela
You started to grow
Answers to questions you wanted to know
With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks
Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss
Secret discussions about a first kiss
But you were young
And everything was new
Impatient to do things you couldn't do
Oh, Pamela, Pamela
You started to grow
Answers to questions you wanted to know
When the rest of your childhood
Forgets as a dream
And the harshness of life
Dims those peaches and cream.
Forgets as a dream
And the harshness of life
Dims those peaches and cream.
I love the words and think they suit the “Pamela’s” beautifully
I’ve long been a fan of this lovely ladies work and have several of her pieces.
One of my favourite things to do is to support British Makers
