Heart pendant 2007 – Teacup handles attached together to make an adorable pendant

Tea bangles 2007. Secondhand teacups.

I realised that by slicing the teacups the rings could also become beautiful bangles.  You could wear your treasured teacup on your arm.

Takeaway teacup 2007. Slipcast earthenware.

Tea cups 2007. Ceramic teacups and paper coffee cups.

Ever grabbed a takeaway coffee and felt your hand burning from the paper thin cup?! Well I solved this problem by taking neglected teacups and slicing the bottoms off so you can slip it over the paper cup and have a real handle well you drink your coffee in morning traffic.

jUMPBAGS 2006. Pre-loved jumpers.

Featured in “A tad less Bad” 3rd year object design exhibition at Unitec which explored alternatives to our over-consumption and embraced the ordinary.  jUMPBAGS are made from old, pre-loved jumpers which are no longer worn another function needs to be applied…why not a funky new bag?

Drape me shelf 2005. Glass, steel and fabric.

I was interested in the combination of a hard surface, glass and a soft fabric and how to attach the fabric to the sheet of glass so the fabric could become the shelves as it looped through the glass.

Flat pack bowls 2005. Sheet polypropelene.

    WOW!!

    What an extensive range of invigorating design! I personally like the ‘drape-me table’ or ’shelf’ as you say. Also, the charismatic ceramic tea sets stand out and are bound to brighten up anyone’s cuppa!

    Great work Linz, you’re a star! xoxo

  4. Do you sell these? I’d love to buy one of those bracelets for my mom. She is a huge tea cup collector and she’d love it!

    Love the heart pendant , so cute.

    I have some broken bits of pretty tea cups. I wanted to make braclets or necklaces out of them.. Have you made something like that in the past..

    One time I had read where you use foiling stips around the edges and attach them with rings .

    any way..
