New studio...

So I've sorta moved into my new studio...
I need to revamp and renovate it before it's actually home...
The dogs love it though...

Xmas shopping suggestions

For those last minute Xmas monkeys and the shopping that comes with it.
I was asked by friend for my pick of Xmas shopping places.
Why? Cause Designers know our stuff (or so I've heard)
So here's a list of my favourite places to go buy things:

If you like design and a mix of everything I suggest:

The Fringe Arts (99B Kloof Street and Alfred Mall, V&A Waterfront)
and
The Haas Collective (67 Rose Street)

Between the two they stock the biggest collection of contemporary designers in Cape Town!
And surprise surprise they have my jewellery (hint hint nudge nudge)

Then for those who like sweet things:
Emporio Leone (In the Cape Quarter and V&A Waterfront)
Yummy!!

aaand Charly's Bakery (Harrington Square)
Do yourself a favour, wicked chocolate cake... nuff said.

For the art fancies:
The Deckle Edge (Sir Lowry Road, Woodstock)
damn, they have everything....

The Vintage monkeys aren't forgotten!

My Brothers girlfriend introduced me to this site, The Suitcase, it is amazing!
Go check it out, affordable clothes that look awesome!
And Monoko! (89 Kloofnek Road)
Great clothing, awesome accessories!
(yeah they stock me too :P)

And totally go to Hello Again (223 Long street)
They sell awesome shirts and stock Hout Couture sunglasses!!

MCQP, Goodluck and a giant cat!

17 December was MCQP (Mother City Queer Projects)
I had the option to go, as Goodluck was playing and they offered me 2 tickets.
Best of all, I walk to their stage
and they had a giant version of my cat made!
It's huge and rad!
For in case you don't know, the cat,
is on their album cover and was a collaboration
between me and the amazingly talented Tenth Hour!
Goodluck was amazing, Jules, crazy!
The party! Wow!!!
Still can't believe

they gave me shout outs to the crowd!
Surreal!

Bathroom Bizarre

For those who know me,
I've been bitching about this bathroom for the last 2 months.
Renovations, they are not fun!
So this is the finished product,
gotten rid of our very 70's bathroom!

New Range: Ceramic Hearts

So I just finished my latest range of jewellery
I'm back on hearts.
I think they look awesome.
The hearts are ceramic with either a:
22ct Gold glaze, Bright Platinum Glaze, Blue Cobalt Glaze
or oxides and underglaze drawings!
Oh and turn em around and see my logo stamped on the setting!
The full range available from The Fringe Arts!

Stamp it!

I got a hallmark stamp made with my logo,
that my dear friend Davida Smith designer for me.
Awesome!
From now on my pieces will be branded!!
