The Take Over Begins

We're taking taking over the world one coloured necklace at a time. And here's the proof.

 

I know I'm supposed to be all cool and nonchalant about this... too late..

How Exciting!! It's our first press in print (if that makes sense) and who better to sing the praise of EABurns than Lauren Laverne.Woop!!

Sightings of the lesser spotted leather necklace have been increasing over the last few months and new nests have been found, suggesting a population increase.

Okay, that's a bit weird talking about them like birds on the verge of extinction- what I mean to say is that we've got some great new stockists which we're really really excited about (listed at the bottom of the post) and we've seen some great pics and videos where are jewellery has been used.

If you read  this blog often you'll know of our love of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. We love the music, the live show is bloody brilliant, and he likes us! This photo comes from an interview for Fact Mag, and the it made me laugh as the journalist suggested that "haberdashers of the world run themselves ragged trying to create sufficiently lavish creations". Not at all, not at all. Creating pieces for artists like T.E.E.D is why we do it! This week I also made some pieces for his dancers.. I'll post this if I get pictures....... fingers crossed!

Styled by Andrew Davies, wearing EABurns and Bombe Surprise.

On the subject of musicians wearing EABurns, if you only click one link today watch this video.

I present to you: Purple Ferdinand.
Man, she's good. I want to rave about her, but I think the you-tube comments say it all. Definitely one to watch and looking mighty fine in all that EABurns!! Yeehaaa indeed. A Thank You must go to Ricky Briggs who styled her.

And finally a couple more thank you's to  Emma Breden and Theodore Adolph-Regisford who styled stories for Tantrum magazine using our jewellery. It's great to see the same pieces worn in such different ways.

Stegosaurus Spotlight.

EABURNS Stegosaurus Necklace in Black

Named after the dinosaur of the same name because it reminded Mr. EABURNS of a Stegosaurus' tail, and because of the ridiculous amount of dinosaur images that that made their way onto my computer (for some reason or other) I thought it would be nice to take the time to introduce you to the beast that is the Stegosaurus Necklace.


But despite it's scary name, this spiky monster is nothing to be scared of. It's made from 19 pieces of  cut reclaimed leather, with each edge is painstaking painted and varnished. This results in very black fingertips (I could wear gloves, but it just doesn't feel right..)  and edges which are hardwearing and crisp.

Painty Paint Paint..

Then the fun bit begins. We punch small holes and join the shapes together with gold plated jumprings. These are stronger than we've ever used before, and as the pieces are joined the shape starts to form..

Looking a bit like this..

Necklace, half finished..

You can see I've already started adding studs to this one. The studs are solid brass and add a lovely weight to the piece. Studding the necklaces is a really satisfying job- they screw in easily and transform the design.

 Stud Stud Stud...

Then, we attach the back. The back will have already been cut out, painted and travelled to East London  (where it gets embossed), and now it gets punched and joined to the multifaceted front. The back often gets ignored, but this back gives the design stability and carries the EABURNS  logo, so it's worth a photo of it's own me thinks.

The Back...

And then, finally we make the chain. It's comprised of 5 different components, and is adjustable.. I could go on, but I won't.

Et Voila! A new Stegosaurus is born into the world!

 EABURNS Stegosaurus Necklace, Baby Pink, detail.

They come in 3 colours- baby pink, neon orange and black. And, as you can see, we make each one by hand, so if you have a request for any colour in particular, we can make it for you at no extra cost..
And we love making them to order... in fact we're making some neon green now for a shop in East London.. and they're looking fab...!

How to wear? Well, here's a couple of suggestions.. and if you want to buy one of these big, bad, beasts look no further than here...

I've joined the revolution.

No longer will my desktop be filled with pictures for only me to look at... Yes. I've joined Tumblr. Only abour 4 years too late, as everyone else is on Pintrest. But, that's the way I like it.

I'm not going to give too much away about new collections on there but I certainly will be sharing images that I love.. and perhaps a glimpse into a slightly confused brain.

EABurns out and about...

It's been exciting recently seeing the EABurns breastplate popping up on the internet.. first worn by Lucy Hale, then Julia Lang of GeeksndFashion at New York and London Fashion Week..

Looking good girls!!

And here's a little vid by ICUINPARIS (they are a Paris based website which I stock and am slightly in love with) of me back in Novemeber, actually in the middle of making a batch of breastplates. I'm not used to being in front of the camera, so please excuse any awkwardness!!

NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW!!!

New new new new new....

Huge thanks go to Stephanie Sian Smith who took these photos, Cleo who modelled and  Roxanne Farnham who styled and modelled. Yesterday was about 3 times longer than planned and I'm so grateful to these guys.

What else to say? As you might expect there's colour choices for all styles and they will all be up in the shop as soon as possible.. I hope you love it as much as I love making it xxx

Moodboard for Shoot

It's the shoot for SS12 new jewelry on Sat morning and the last couple of days have been rushing to get as many styles made up as possible..

Even though I have a background as a stylist I've asked a friend, Rox, to style it- she's got wicked taste and collaboration always works out well.. I sent her a moodboard on Monday and thought it might be nice to blog it too. So here you go... it's a little confused, old women, meet sea punks meet culture clash... I think I just went up  a whole new level of fashion cliche.

Enjoy!

And on the 7th day he created Glamour. (and then rested)

The breastplates, as with most statement necklaces look absolutely fantastic worn with a high necked simple dress and I'm in love with this Rick Owens Dress.

It's a glamorous look yes, but it's also cool and the basics of the look can be applied to pretty much any outfit for any occasion. Loads of jewellery, smokey eye make up, simple clothes, Boom- Sexy, classy, cool- done.
