Beginners Jewellery Classes

I recently started taking a part time course in Beginners Jewellery Design and Manufacture and I made this ring in my first class. It still needs to be polished and can be engraved. Its so much fun to design and make jewellery. I love working with my hands! 

Another delivery to Beatnik Bazaar!

Beatnik Bazaar situated in the Mythology Shop, 100 Main Road, Kalk Bay.

I'm so excited every time Beatnik Bazaar places another order for my leather journals. Beatnik Bazaar is a quirky shop in Kalk Bay that stocks only local and handmade designer goods. Follow the Beatnik Bazaar blog here.

Pushing Daisies

I just love the show pushing daisies. The colourful interiors and fashion make my Thursday evenings!

Drawing Hands

We're studying the anatomy of the human body in illustration class at the moment and this week, I'm focusing on drawing hands. I'm trying to draw a hand each week. This is what I have so far.

Hands are so expressive, one can sometimes only look at the hands of others to know what they are feeling or trying to say. For instance, the hands in the two pictures above convey two very different feelings. The first one being soft and experimental and the second one is strong and forceful.

What do you think?

Last night's kickoff concert in Orlando Stadium, Soweto

I woke up to a celebration of vuvuzelas in the streets this morning. The FIFA World Cup is here at last! After years of preparation we can finally welcome the world  to our beautiful country. The best thing for me about this whole event is the way in which it unified us as South Africans. We have put aside all the negative feelings and actions and now share the same feeling... absolute rapture!!
