A little sparkle with black

I made these plain bands last month. They are really simple but look really good on the finger. You can mix and match the square and round bands. There are two with a little bit of black sparkle in the form of 4pt black diamonds. Very sweet.

Wooden shapes on Glossary

The wooden shapes got a mention on Glossary. Take a look at Laurens blog - great to look at.

Rings with bling

I have had these stones in my stash for ages, so I finally decided to use them and made these rings. I have this problem of buying stones and then not wanting to let them go, but the day comes when I have to. They will be on sale at the I Heart Market on Saturday 3 July. The one the left is a faceted quartz and the other a garnet

Birds for Africa

Here are some new designs that I have got. Birds from South Africa and Africas. Looking forward to showing them at the I Heart Market on Saturday. Thanks Jess for the Illustrations

Flowers for Icon Africa

I have been working on a range called Icon Africa. It is about South African flora and fauna. The first in the range was the flower range. The illustrations were done by a good friend Jessica Nicholson. They started off being fridge magnets, as all the "South African" fridge magnets I had seen were rather awful and a bit gaudy, so this was to produce something that had more style. I then realised that they would make great brooches as well. I love how the wood has turned out.

Some more shapes

Here are some more "shapes" brooches in different colours and words. I have done them in perspex and wood. What I like about the different materials is that they have a different feel. The perspex being fun and a bit cheeky whereas the wooden ones have a sophisticated feel about them.

Market time

It is that time of month again - market time. I heart market is at the Hellenic Centre in Durban North this Saturday. I will be there selling my stuff. Come down there is always great things to buy and food to eat.
