New stock @the Fringe Arts

Hello Monkeys

I've been busy... oh so busy...

Finally managed to make some new stock for the Fringe Arts

Just dropped off...

Back to work this week to make more things of shiney goodness...

Sneak peak...naughty naughty

Well I've been hard at work doing commissions for clients and working hard on my latest stock for The Fringe Arts and getting it ready for them. As well as doing work for my degree... Which sadly has been going slower than I want it to.

So without further wait I can present a sneak peak of 3 of the pieces available from Fringe. Showing off the rest would be cheating... tsk tsk go have a look.

So these are the pics. Two pendants and a pair of earrings. I'm quite chuffed with how they came out. There are similar pieces at the shop as well. Hehehe, I know... Naughty

So go have a look folks, let me know what you think and check out my facebook page for the rest of the pics.
But after seeing all the hard work my fellow bloggers and tweeters have put in (Nina, Emma and Theresa) I feel I have to start doing more work... So hopefully next blog will have a few pics of my completed workshop... Let's hold thumbs

The lazy blogger returns

So I've been a lazy blogger, I blame this on the winter months and being slightly incapacitated with sickness. But here's my latest news, besides that I seem to be healthier, before I was sick I managed to make a few rosaries. Of these I have one left, pictured below.

The Rosaries were all made of sterling silver and semi precious beads. The one shown here is white and red coral beads. The came out beautifully. Funny enough I found out that red and white are traditionally symbolic of death when combined... So is this a deathsary?

Also you all know this little beauty. Well he was the inspiration for the little black heart range and after making some pieces I am proud to say they have been made available for sale in the Fringe Arts Shop, in Cape Town City Hall, this shop is pretty damn amazing. They sell not only jewellery but also art, furniture and bags, etc... etc... I had a look around and found my friend's line, Inkheart jewellery design, amongst others. Go have a look, it's amazing and Inkheart has an amazing range of jewellery.

dangly dangly earrings...

Here are the latest earrings from the little black heart collection... These are chandelier earrings, the main body is blackened silver and the ends have little razorblades on them....
Now ready for order....

updates from my black little heart...

So my dearest monkeys... so here follows the latest update from the little black heart range... I have been getting requests from people about the pieces so here are the two latest available...
Unofficially the range isn't out yet, but I mean really, do I need a grand opening?

So this is the little black heart rosary... The beads on this one are black tourmaline and cracked clear quartz... Many variations on this piece are available, my favourite is red coral with black tourmaline... Price is dependant on the stones used...

This little beauty is my other baby... based on the claddagh rings of old, this is a promise necklace or for all intensive purposes, just something pretty... Available as a brooch too...

a bit reveal....

So here's a big surprise for you.... I'm showing off some of the renderings for the little black heart range....

This is a rosary, with semi precious stones, will be available in any colour beads.
A winged heart pendant. Thinking of also making a similar brooch....

Hoop earrings

Chandelier earrings

And a mens ring....

So what do we think? There are more in the range but these are my favourites....
