modern signet ring


interesting modern take on a signet ring, i hated making this ring, it was very challenging and hard. however once it was made there was a slight sense of achievement. it think this detail on the top of the ring makes it very interesting.


Cupcake Country



this company exhibited at the 2011 design indaba,their stand was very colourful and exciting however i found it was a little bit of a let down once you got close to it, everything was very similar and chlidlike. the company aims for that child like playfulness, i however find it a little bit too over whelming and over the top. i think that the stuff is cute but i dont think id bug anything very soon.

charm bracelets


i like charm bracelets, they can be either very classy or very playful, this charm bracelet is very beautiful and simple, i like how they is only one charm on this bracelet, and the filigree charm is exquisite.

they can be more whimsical than elegant, i like this one thats made up of buttons, its a very sweet and non conventional way of using charms. i love all the different colours of the buttons and all the different shapes of the buttons.


incredible sculpture




i fell inlove with this sculpture when i first saw this, i think its absolutely amazing. i think its brilliant, the colours draw you in as well as the incredible structure of it, the way the skull sticks out of the wall is so interesting. i really love this sculpture.

box ring





i think this is a very interesting take on a box ring, as part of my first year training at CPUT in Cape Town we made a box ring. it was quite challenging but rather rewarding to make. i learnt how to create a hollow construction through that project. the box ring i made was quite simple as is this ring however this ring has more substance to it. the pierced out designs are quite intricate, i also love the balance of the dark pink and light pink on the inside of the ring.
