The making of Ibaraki, by Clint Steele
Hi again, I'm on a roll tonight!

While working on his piece for Spare Parts, artist Clint Steele took some photos to share... 

The title of the piece is "Ibaraki". It was a crowd favourite, and yes it sold, and has a new home and a new owner. Hurrah!

Materials: Prosthetic arm donated by La Trobe University, Wood, Origami Paper, Liquid Acrylic and Red Rope. 

Thanks for the photos, Clint!

I have added one of the photos to this blog, but click on the Facebook link below for the full suite. You don't have to be a member of Facebook to see the photos.

LAST CHANCE!!!! Adam Hills' leg is up for grabs!
Hey everyone

As you know, Adam Hills from ABC TV's Spicks and Specks donated an old leg to Spare Parts.
The gorgeous Patience Hodgson from Brisbane band The Grates did the artwork, and it is amazing!
I have attached a picture for you, and Patience has called it "A Venutian Leg Up". The materials used are a prosthetic leg, fake finger nails, ping pong balls, acrylic paint, and glue.

If you'd like to take Adam's leg home you can place a bid in the silent auction!
The reserve price is $1500, so your bid must be $1500+. You can text your bid to 0406 706 407 or email it to contact@spareparts2010.com. The auction ends TODAY!
The highest bidder will be notified on the 7th December 2010. Profit from this auction will be donated to COPE in Laos. For more information on COPE you can go to www.copelaos.org 

It's not every day to get to take a piece of Adam home!!!!!
Please tell all of your friends and help us raise lots of money for this awesome charity!

Thank you!
Priscilla
