I believe that someone interested in seeing the bigger picture in their accessories but also with a bold, yet silly fashion sense would buy and wear these pieces.

# data[].attributes.body
I can imagine these pieces being sold in small shops geared to small artists such as the Made in Arts shop, or even at the hot dog stand in Iceland!

If I had more time I would probably have looked into more materials, and then my chosen one in more depth. I felt I couldn't quite get a good enough grasp of the materials I was using to use them as confidently as I'd hoped.

For the Longetivity necklac I most likely would have gone with a different material so it emulated noodles a bit more and would've given the effect I wanted more precicely. I also have a feeling that the noodle necklace became more of an afterthought as I was struggling a bit with connecting to it as strongly as I did with my own culture, as well as being a little confused with the ambiguity of the recipes and traditions.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I am quite happy with my project, I feel like I went outside of my comfort zone in a lot of aspects and broadened my research and experiements. Although I am very disappointed in the file I handed in as it doesn't represent the work and enthusiasm I put into the project, and ended up last minute and rushed.

Lots of love xx

- “Chang Shou Mian” (e. long life noodle)
- Generally eaten on Birtdays or for the Spring festival in China.
- Made from one piece of dough that’s streched into long and thin noodles, these symbolise a long life and health.
- Made with wheat instead of rice so they can be streched so long.
- In Tiffany’s environment she has this dish with her family on her Birthday and they say that if you can eat the noodle without breaking it, then you’re blessed with a long life.
- Some sources say that the noodles can be streched into multiple long, thin strands but Tiffany says that the dish should be one very long noodle. I believe that the tradition can vary between families and households, as can be common for a lot of cultural traditions.

The fiber artist Ýrúrarí has made a couple of collection based on foods, she is often a huge inspiration for my projects. For this project she, along with Flétta, opened a pizza shop where they allowed people to order pizzas with their preferred toppings, but instead of edible food it was textile art.

As seen in the video the clay snaps quite easy (aside from my slippery fingers), unlike the perception I got through the review video and seeing Lauren's work in use. I found that the clay was quite brittle as well.

Mixing in Fimo clay with the cosclay as a way to dye

Mixing in Fimo clay with the cosclay as a way to dye

# data[].attributes.body
I did try out mixing the Fimo with Cosclay to see if it would result in a nice colour, but it only went pastel, and even impacted the flexibility of the clay. Unfortunately can only add one image to each post, you can see the colour outcome in the durability test video.

# data[].attributes.body
At first the cosclay is quite brittle and breaks apart, then after working for a few minutes it's similar to Fimo, but as you continue to work it the clay becomes impossible sticky! See the video, almost impossible to work with.

# data[].attributes.body
Compared to the Cosclay, Fimo is substantially less sticky and easier to work with

As the pulsa (e. hot dog) is such a versatile food, Icelanders tend to cook it in any way they can think of, in this case I chopped them up and fried on a pan to cook into my scrambled eggs for lunch! My dad tends to cook similar food on a regular basis in Iceland.

I did consider seeing if I were able to add in some sort of alternative ways that people eat the pylsa (e. hot dog), in this photo is my favourite example of another variation. I ended up going with the classic version as most people relate to that and it made more sense to have it simpler.

# data[].attributes.body
Iceland has a lot of hot dog trucks (pylsuvagn) around, making it an extremely easy grab for food when you're feeling nippy.

A more casual, yet extremely common, setting for the pulsa (hot dog) is for grill parties! Icelanders love grilling the second the sun comes out, the picture shows a party at her old workplace Rúmfatalagerinn (Jysk).

An american polymer clay artist known for her worm jewellery, she has said in her comments section that she uses the brand Cosclay for her jewellery and that she uses 'pigments' for the dye, I believed that she used chalks but it turns out that she uses some sort of pigment and a sponge as can be seen in this video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkHEtAlu8Ku/

A post shared by Lauren’s Grotesquerie 🪱 4 years of worm art 🪱 (@laurenpeteys)

# data[].attributes.body
One designer I admire, Lauren Peteys, uses polymer clay for her designs and they seem to be quite plasticy yet flexible. She mentioned that she uses CosClay for her designs and I thought it would be perfect for my sausage design!

The main thing I loved about this manufacturer was the fact that the clay seemed substantially more flexible than other brands such as Fimo, and more durable. None of their solid colour options were available for the UK market so I believed I could dye it how I needed by using drawing chalk as a lot of doll artists do.

I ended up buying the clay for a whopping £20 and found it didn't quite work for me, I got the clay in the colour 'fairy light' as it was the lightest colour but didn't quite take the colours I tried dying it. I tried mulling the chalk into a powder by rubbing it on paper and the colour just turned very pale and pastel. I also tried mixing in solid colours from Fimo, as per the review video mixing in other brands makes the clay more brittle, but that colour also turned pastel. My last attempt was to emulate Lauren's way of colouring the clay by drawing on it with the chalk, this didn't show any good results either, you couldn't even see any difference on the clay (edit after writing, she uses another method that I can't quite recognise, see post regarding her for the link and more info). After baking the clay as per manufacturer instructions the clay wasn't even close to as flexible I believed it to be and broke at the first stress test.

Overall it didn't work at all for me as it was very difficult to work with (brittle yet also very sticky), didn't take colours properly and broke easy. Given more tie (and patience) I might have figured out what I was doing wrong (if anything), but my time was more securely invested in Fimo.

Tiffany's (my peer) experience with Chang Shou Mian

# data[].attributes.body
When I asked my classmate Tiffany what food she misses from home, she told me about the Chang Shou Mian her family would make her for her Birthday. She described it as one long noodle that symbolises the long life, and that you should try to eat it without breaking it also symbolising a long life.

I asked if she had any pictures of her indulging in this tradition, she didn't have any. I also invited her over for when I cooked it myself and unfortunately she didn't have the time.
