Earrings

Stock

More NSA

I'm making more stock for the Christmas sale at NSA, I haven't used these beaded discs before so this is my chance to see if people will like them or not. Hopefully they get some sort of recognition, even if its some sort of feed back. I'm hoping to start getting people to help me with more of my stork making. This didn't work that well last year, hopefully all goes well from now on.

Domed studs

The studs before these are flat and I used less metal, I'm still trying to move away from less metal to more metal. Making jewellery that allows me to use more techniques then just wire making and soldering.

Studs

I couldn't help but want to make jewellery from the little beaded discs, I don't know if jewellery can be called cute but I think that's how they look, cute.

Too bold for you?

I have been looking at beadwork and have been trying to figer out how some of the other beaders bead. I wanted to bead round a bigger bead to see how it will look like. I got the two big red beads from Lusande, one of DUT emerging jewelers. She used them in some of her jewellery and has used them very well. I think it would be a great idea for the student to be given one common thing or element and they would have to design around it, yes this might be restricting but it would also test one’s creativity and design skills.

Mbali

My sister has helped me out a lot, with modeling for my jewellery, being my image consultant “that is what she calls herself” and in many other ways. She sometimes complains that I don’t make her any jewellery and she is the only family I have “or so she likes to think”. Her name is Mbali which means flower in English. That is why I made these flower looking earrings, after her.
