Drawing book

I'm just paging through my drawing book and I realize that its over, I'm no longer a BTec student and now I have to face my family, the world and myself. Where to from here? Looking for a job is not as easy I thought it would be.

Miss cast

Look who had a miss cast, I feel bad that these links didn't cast because I has hoping to make another Mafu necklace and sell it. Things will be hard while looking for a job, lord knows where to from here.

NWJ tree

I heard that NWJ trees (for casting) are neat and the people that put them together can add a lot of elements in one tree. This is my tree, it looks better then the one that I built for the black lace necklace. What do you think? NWJ tree or not?

End of year show BTEC

Well this is it, the end of the year show that marks the being of our lives in the big bad world. We’ve all worked very hard to make our displays as neat and presentable as they look. I’m a bit worried about where to from here, I think there are so many doors but not all of them are open for me to use. Being student of the year really humbles me and as I mentioned in the early posts, people have different ways of expressing how they feel, I’m still speechless. As the eldest amongst the siblings I think I’ve set bar high enough for the rest to reach and still left space for them to raise it to the next level.

I must say that I enjoy blogging and I hope that what ever I do next year will still allow me to carry on.

Earrings

Beaded domes

These are the domed elements that are beaded, I also gave them to Thenjiwe in order to be beaded but unfortunately I back the back at a very late stage for me to convert them into jewellery. I see a lot of potential in them, I feel as if I can do a lot with them.

Black lace

This is the final piece from the new links, I call it black lace because, a lot of miss fortunes have been happening around my Mafu necklace. I decided to bead it black because, most of my pieces are brightly coloured and this would be something different and abit formal.

Mafu on

I know I've posted a pic of my necklace before but it was on a pot, I just wanted to see how it looks on someone. The top that Shanal is wearing complements it, apart of me feels that it would look better on a topless person but on who?

Display

We all have been worrying about our end of the year display as we felt that this display would play a big role in our end of the year mark. The problem with my work is the fact that its very colourful and I don't want it to look busy by add a lot of colour to it. I ended up using white mblasolo cloth and white perspex to lift up my jewellery so that it wouldn't lay flat. What do you think about it?
Two things that are left for me to do now is to get ready for the exhibition that's on the 7th of December and for me to get a job :-l.
