Merry Christmas Everyone!

Big smiles for Christmas! May this time be a blessing to everyone and may love, peace and hope prevail.

Please drive safe!

Above is a sketch of my friend Buntu... he saw some of the drawings and paintings I did as a kid and said that he will only be able to see if I can draw if I do a portrait of him. I procrastinated but finally finished it. I am yet to give it to him and hear what he has to say!

Pretty Patterns

I bought these beautifull 50's, 60's and 70's dress patterns a while ago for next to nothing... in total they cost me R8,50! Now I just need someone who can make them for me... any takers? :)

Culmination of jewellery course

above: birdlove necklace

above: Twice as Nice ring

above: Organic ring

And so the jewellery course I recently started doing came to an end last week :(.

Above are three pieces I made from silver. It was very interesting to be exposed to all the processes involved in creating silver jewellery for instance rolling, soldering, sawing, filing, hammering etc.

Would love to have a studio where I can create more pieces of jewellery.

Girls just wanna have FUN!!

Last weekend my girlfriends and I went to Robertson to visit our friend Lizelle in her new home.

We helped her turn her garden into a Chelsea entry....or at least that's what we think!

Above are some pictures I took of special corners in and around her house... looks like it came straight out of the pages of an interior design magazine!

Can't wait to visit her again!  

New journals!

New journals coming soon to Beatnik Bazaar!

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!
