Local Is Lekker starts

This day finally came and I enjoyed the vibe and the short and sweet speeches, this exhibition will run for the whole of June, while the world cup is still on. There are 38 jewellers exhibiting their jewellery, so you an imagin the number of jewellery and the show cases there. Although the focus was on jewellery there were a lot of paintings and all kind of art there. The painting above is one of the pieces that court my attention, I think it is called rainbow children. As you can see there are different raises there.
I strongly feel that there is a lot of talent out there and you really have to know where you come from and where you are going. You really have to create something that stands out, above the rest. I really thought and believed that my jewellery is different and unique and I don't have any doubt in my mind that it still is but I'm amaised at the talent out there and I'm challenged by all their work. I have to push my designs and when I say push I mean to design and experiment more in order to get to a body of work that can not be compared.

Bracelet

Making these shapes and soldering everything together before tech closed, wasn't a bad idea because now I can sit home and bead. I don't know weather I should hand this in for the local is lekker exhibition or to just leave it for the NSA gallery.

All is well

Im more then happy with the way that these earrings came out for the local is lekker exhibition at the end of this month. I think that there is room for improvement for some of them but........

Local Is Lekker

As mush as I think I know what local is lekker means, I still wanted to brain storm so as to not leave anything out. Fun, home, mlazi, shapes, size and lots, are some of the word that I could come up with. I went around the areas that I walk throw everyday so as to capture images that grab my attention. These are some of the images that I captured so as to create this calardg. This calardg is busy for a reason, there is a very small section of my life where there is silence because I spend most of my time trying to get around to the next area and I'm always at the texi rank in town or eMlazi.
