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....

Earrings for all

 So I've been playing with stud earrings.  Loving my little dinosaur designs.

Do we like?

more commisions

I did another few commissions, here is the latest one.
I made these earrings with enamel and garnets to just hang from a stud on top.


They came out pretty cute I think...

Friends, Romans and Countrymen...

Post Indaba has been amazing. I've gotten the most amazing clients
, you know who you are,
and have been busier than I thought I would be.


So I have to brag about this commission. This is a lovely couple I met at the expo.
They were married on Friday [11 March 2011]
and had this ring commissioned for the groom.
The ring reads the wedding date in roman numerals [MMXI III XI].
It was so ironic as well, seeing as the day I finished it I was invited to a toga party...
Anyway I think it's such an amazing ring
and the enthusiasm shown by these people when we decided on the design was contagious. Hoping to get more clients like this.

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...

Busy busy busy

So many things have been happening on this side, jewellery, life, money, love (okay not so much)

Between finishing Btech, trying to have a life and keeping up with my dear stockist, The Fringe arts, who are my exclusive stockists currently (besides from me directly)

Work has been going on, aside from the fact that I've had a nasty car accident, but that adds to manufacturing fun, put your heart into the art. So many designs in my head, Btech, for Fringe and for clients... Where to start?

So to date [4 October 2010] I now have 11 pieces done for Btech. Above is one of my pretties. you'll just have to come inspect this one at the exhibition. Oh dear I need to plan my presentation as well... Fun times!

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...

Inked...

I had to share this with you all. As it technically is jewellery related. This is my new tattoo, on my left forearm. It reads 925 AG and 75 Cu. To any goldsmith and chemical engineers out there it would make sense. This is the formula for sterling silver. Ag is the symbol for silver on the periodic table of elements and sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. The other parts are allowed to make it wearable as jewellery. It has sentimental meaning to me, as silver is 1. My favourite metal and 2. the metal I learned to make jewellery in. Such a beautiful font as well.

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
