If you’re anything like us your childhood consisted of long hours lost rummaging through piles of Lego searching for that f-ing corner bit. Artist Katie Johnson appears to have found a good spot for all those memories, dangling around your neck. Katie studied art just round the corner at Adelaide Center for the Arts, where she did a degree in painting and minor in jewellery. Although she makes brooches and other assorted goodies, we love the necklaces most. Hanging on a ghetto-length silver ball chain, the pieces usually feature a mash up of several different Lego-land characters. The characters parts are all fully interchangable apart from the head and torso which are glued together to avoid any unintentional decapitations.
