Greenbutton’s Easter blog

Easter is knocking on the door this year as well. We are excited about the moving Easter, on which dates it will be set every year. Namely, we were born in April and we remember miserable birthdays on Good Friday; the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This time our birthday is gloriously on Easter Sunday; on the day of resurrection.

There are many other things associated with Easter, such as chicks and eggs and willow cats. Sisu figurines are enthusiastic party people and they are like that at Easter too. The yellow Easter Sisus have feathers, as shown in the picture. Sisu dolls sit in a cup made of Sisusavi® with eggs made of Sisusavi.

Yellow is the color of Easter. We noticed that the yellow necklaces were sold out and we needed to make more yellow jewelry. We used cadmium yellow as the color, but of course not cadmium itself, but a color copy made of safe substances. Mannequin doll with a head made of Sisusavi®. put on the yellow jewelry. The bracelet fits her slender neck.

A miracle happened and we were surprised

We have been interviewed in a magazine and there is an article about the light Sisusavi® material coming soon. After the interview, I put one cup made of Sisusavi® in the Miele dishwasher. We put in a normal washing tablet and chose the 65 C program, which lasted 55 minutes. We were excited and afraid, because the development of the cup is just at the beginning and the industrial production of the cup will certainly make the cup of better quality. However, a miracle happened and the cup survived the dishwasher.

Art exhibition in Helsinki 5.5. – 21.5.

At the moment we are mostly working for the art exhibition at Gallery Ars Longa, Annankatu 12. The opening is 4.5. at 5 p.m., everyone is welcome!

The art gallery exhibits many never-before-seen paintings with new insights. We have come up with lampshades for the window and ceiling of the Gallery. The picture shows the wings, which were made from the cardboard tags of tea bags to paint them in different colors.

We went to Kiasma and saw Mia Parika’s wooden statues. We noticed an armless girl who had been split in half. The statue showed the characteristic cracking of wood when drying. We got the idea to test Sisusavi® to see if it behaves like wood. We made a smaller doll. We first made the legs and dried them in the microwave so that they hardened a little. Then we made the middle part of the statue and dried it in the microwave as well. We glued the legs and the middle part to each other and produced the head. We also dried it in the microwave first and then glued it to the middle part. The doll is seen in the picture, and without any split.

Order from France

There have been orders for jewelry and the latest order is from France. We sent the earrings there and fortunately we were able to send them in a letter. Sending larger products by post costs a lot in relation to the price of the products. In addition to France, some jewelry and Sisu figurines have been ordered for the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy and Belgium. Of course, the most orders have been to Finland.

Happy Easter everyone!
