In collaboration with Kin, 

I've done a window exhibition.

More on that here.

And part of the exhibition I played around 

with a honeycomb of beeswax I was gifted.

I originally wanted to cast them,

but no success as it's just too delicate.

 So what happened is we had them electroformed.

It's a long winded explination, but basically

metal gets formed via an electric current over the actual object.

 So that means the beeswax is still inside the pendant.

These lovely copper shapes are strung on an oxidised sterling silver chain.

And they're a once off, set of 7.

Buzz buzz....

Baking News: Red Velvet Brownies

Seeing as baking is turning into my latest hobby...

Need something to do besides make jewellery (blasphemy I know)

I tried this little experiment:  Red Velvet Brownies.

 Making them is pretty darn easy, only took 10 mins to make the batter.

 Getting the swirl isn't that easy though...

I'll just have to make more until I perfect it (see what I did there?)

But the final product is damn tasty!

Foodie Alert: Cheese Cake

Keeping with my foodie blogposts...

and the fact that I didn't go to a cool place for lunch or something the weekend...

I do want to post this:

A cheesecake I baked for my best friends baby shower.

The item in question:

a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheese Cake

 The crust is completely made from chocolate biscuits.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough balls are folded into the batter.

 Baked in it's delicious glory.

 Unfortunately if you mix a cheesecake too hard, it will crack on top when baked.

And this is a side view of the cake.... 

nom nom....

and just for bragging rights,

here is a picture of me with my beautiful niece.

If you want the recipe, email me, I might consider it.

It's a bit too long to write on a blog post. :)

I bee loving it...

Look Bees... I know, I have a little obsession with them....

What are they? Wait and see

Super excited about playing with these little buggers.

This was the first experiment that I just popped into a pendant...

Maybe the others will good in rings?

bee in a bubble....

Been playing around a bit...

Finally did something with the jar of bees I have....

Stay tuned to see what I do with it.
