Vetkat invite

This is the vetkats invitation and I think it looks awesome, I like the way that the jewellery blends in with the background as if to be part of the wall paintings.

Very proud

I have put labels (for sale) for earrings like these, earrings that have the wire frames and by doing so I'm reminding myself that I might not have them by the end of the year due to them being sold.
I'm so proud of the way that these earrings have turned out :-), I think that I wouldn't be bothered if someone told me that they can also make them or make the same earrings.

Next level

I have beading on these silver wire frames and very pleased about the outcome but I wanted to push the idea or the design to the next.

Phansi Museum

I have a lot to say about my experience with finding the Phansi Museum and the actual museum. First it took me forever to find it but I’m glad that I ended up being there. Well you have to phone and make a booking and make sure that you have the right amount in order to enter, which is R35.

This museum has alot beaded and other traditional artifacts, mama Phumzile took us (and a friend) around and showed alot of beadwork, I mention beadwork the most because I told her about my research report and I didn't want to confuse myself about the other artifacts.

I found it strange that these dolls are hanging from the celling with this brown string.

I must say that I learnt alot and I will keep blogging about my other findings that are sparked by this trip. A part of me wishes that I had brought a tape recorder with me so as to not forget some of the points that she made but am glad that i have her card. I'm glad that I went this year where I feel like I know a bit more then I did before and the talk just clarified and some parts of my research. Watch this space !!!!!!!!

Brace

I haven't worked out how the catch is meant to be but I'll make a plan, any suggestions?

Wall paper

I would love this as a wall paper

More flowers

Look at all those bright colours.

Flower power

I'm very pleased with the way these turned out. I love the colours and the shape.

Flowers

Well I made these flowers from jumprings, there is alot of space between the jumprings so that I can bead around them. Just to add a bit of colour, make them more like flowers and so that they fit in with the type of jewellery that I make.

Fatkat

Almost the whole jewellery department has to take part in the Fatkat exhibition, I think that this exhibition is a way of fund raising for this family. So we all have to make a piece of jewellery that will be part of the exhibition. These are the drawings that I'm thinking of using in order to design a piece of jewellery.
