I chose to focus on the beautiful blue green and gold peacock in the center of the illustration, and created these earrings and the peacock focal components.
I used a peacock stamp from cooltools and my own blend of burnished gold polymer clay, which I distressed to make them appear very old. I added Vintaj Etruscan bead caps, other brass findings, and fire polished AB finished Czech glass beads in a beautiful majolica blue. I antiqued the earrings with Prussian Blue acrylic paint, cured, sanded through 9 grits of wet-dry sandpaper, and buffed them to a glossy shine.

"Barrabackslarrabang
This wall text is written in backlang, a form of slang spoken in many cities to camouflage speech, protecting the speaker from being overheard, especially from the ears of the law. Backslang is sewn with rogues sounds to confuse the ear and slips easily into a linguistic play of skill and wit. Liverpool Backslang involves replacing the first or all vowels in key words of a phrase with 'ab', 'ag' or 'arrab', while Birmingham Backslang works with variations of of 'iligili'.
Liverpool backslang has absorbed elements from the any streams of global trade passing through the docks, such as Spanish, Dutch, Yiddish, Chines and African languages. In the 1930s backslang migrated upwards via the sax trade into upper class circles and mixed with the gay. slang Polari, another linguistic disguise. In Toxteth in the 1980s the emerging soft drugs trade made conections between neighbourhoods previously divided along racial or territorial lines, and backslang developed. In the late 1990s backslang hit the national headlines through Curtis Warren; boen in Toxteth and later on one of the riches drug barons ion Europe, he confounded the wiretappers for many years by using backslang in all phone conversations.
Like all languages backslang is a social space of belonging and community, - perhaps even of resistance, in conditions of physical and economic pressure - and is spoken with pride. "We had absolutely nothing, but at least we had our language."
The words on the wall are taken from the transcript of the film "Barrabackslarrabang" (Imogen Stidworthy 2009/10). You hear a version of the film soundtrack on the loudspeakers.
Te above text was written at the exhibition in sa_bold_monoface, a typeface designed with inbuilt irregularities based on the reading behaviours of people with dyslexia, by designer Salome Schmuki.
