Patina Earrings

Ring before patination

Patina Ring

For this next piece i want to make a large ring, like a showpiece. Using the copper and patina technique I'll get the same colours that can be seen on my patina necklace, the shank will be sterling silver. I would ultimately like for these pieces to look like a collection.

playful chain

These photos show the new chain that i recently manufactured. I wanted to try different links with this chain. I managed this by twisting, melting, and forging parts of the links. I think the chain looks lovely on its own, but i may add a pendant to it that won't be a permantent fixure.

the only hiccup with this neckalce is that the links hook on eachother, which would take time to untangle before wearing...

Patina & Silver Necklace...

These photos show two of my necklaces placed on top of eachother. For my next piece i want to incorporate the silver and the patina in a similar way, so that it will be a series/collection of three necklaces. For the next necklace i would like to manufacture a new chain, perhaps introduce forged links?

Playing with watercolours

I have never really enjoyed painting with watercolours (I'm more of an acrylic kinda gal), but todays experimenting went alright i guess...


We were taught about colours and using their complimentaries to create shadows. I painted some little shells, sweet man.

The above watercolour painting was painted by my great gran. Her watercolour skills were amazing :)

KZNSA jewellery

For the student showcases at the KZNSA gallery, we have to make pieces for the christmas season :) I'm planning on making simple (ish) pieces that can be affordable for customers, but still have my style/Btech theme.
