working hard....

So after my last blog about how hard I am working I felt I should give the latest update.

I've been designing up a storm. I discovered on Tuesday (24 August 2010) that I have 9 weeks left until my body of work needs to be done. So I need another 15 pieces before then... sadly my goal of 40 pieces has been forgotten as this year has been so hectic, well yeah I just have to forget about it... for now... So here's just a pic of my latest piece in production... stringing 8 metres of pearls, coral and moonstone... yes I have bitten off a bit much to chew... stay tuned for more insanity...

goodluck to it all

So it's been a while... Miss me?

Things have been crazily busy on this side.

Here's a little update about what's been happening since our last little tryst.

I've been teaching (alot), besides teaching 2nd year technique at the university, I've been offering drawing (3d modeling, Rhino) because 1 of our lecturers resigned and did a 3 week introduction to jewellery course for the foundation course. Been working on my body of work for Btech, sadly only 6 pieces done out of a minimum of 20, I want 30 to 40... Eish...

And last but not least also one of the coolest:

I have been collaborating with friends of mine who study at Red and Yellow.

They were approached by a band (Goodluck) to do the art direction and design of their branding and album art. So we've collaborated and I've made the patterned jewels that go on top of a statue for the album.

The band is amazing, I had the fortune of hearing their new material in studio when we went to have a meeting the other day. Seriously check them out. So excited to see the album done and to see them perform live as the opening act for Basement Jaxx on 3/4 September. Very very awesome!
