Buzzing bling


I've had the privilege to do my first window exhibition at Kin on Kloof this month.
This exhibition focuses on my use of bees in my jewellery.
Which I have a bit of an obsession with.


 This elaborate beehive structure (that I built by hand) houses 21 once off pieces.
Especially the honeycomb necklaces (more on that later).
Filled with facts about bees as well, I decided to inform people of these lovely little workers.

You know bees are currently dying out? And humanity would not be able to survive without them.
In fact we'd have less than four years before we follow them.
More than a 3rd of our food is produced by the help of bees.


Honeycombs  are the most efficient structures in nature -
the walls meet at a precise 120-degree angle, a perfect hexagon.

Go have a look:
