Photo Shoot Inspired Jewellery!

~Hey Everyone!

Funky make-up around the eyes, thanks to a makeshift stencil!

For my photo shoot, I decided to make some simple chain earrings to highlight the green and blue in my garments.

I actually find myself liking them quite a bit for a day to day basis! Watch out for some more of my funky creations using coloured chain!

My Third Photo Shoot!

~Hey Everyone!

As you all know, I've been on a mini hiatus, due to the mounting deadlines of my foundation course! It is now drawing to a close and as promised, I have some amazing things to show you!

My current (and final! *sniff*) project was based on Geology - more specifically precious rocks and minerals. Here are the final shots!

For those who saw my previous post 'Updates', I asked you guys to guess what the picture was! WELL... It was a print I created, based on the colours and shapes of Opal! See it featured below!

And for what I hope isn't the last time modelling, Olivia, my crazy fashion amigo, whom I will miss greatly next year, when I move to Leeds! The world needs more people like her!

Jacket: Inspired by Amethyst, Opal & Thomsonite

My Second Photo Shoot!

~Hey Everyone!

I'm super excited to share with you my second photo shoot!

These are the photos of my Uni Exhibition Piece, (shot by moi!) and taken today!

As I've mentioned before, I love science just a lil' bit A LOT and the two pieces I made were based on the cell formations found in flowers! 

Everything I do seems to be inspired by science these days!

Once again the GORGE Olivia, Livvy, Livster was on hand to model for me!

The weather was beautiful in the local park and I think the pictures came out pretty well, if I do say so myself!

What do you think?

French Riviera Anyone?

Behind the Scenes...

More Pom-Pom Madness....

~Hey Everyone!

OK, so I've created even MORE Pom-Pom Earrings!

I can't seem to stop...It really is becoming an obsession..

I thought I'd share with you my biggest earrings to date! They really have become a staple in my everyday wardrobe; with them being so lightweight and a versatile colour (black, obviously!), there really is no excuse for me NOT to wear them!

Moving and Grooving in a Denim Shirt and Black Pom-Pom Earrings!

Mwahahaha!

Inspiration File: Primary Coloured Wool

~Hey Everyone!

Just a quick update on my latest fascinations...

As someone who is known for wearing black ALL the time, I'm letting my jewellery do the talking on the colour front!

Displayed on my favorite jumper of the season! It kind of looks like a face!

I've created my first, matching, jewellery set out of this beautiful wool! It's a lovely mixture of red, blue and yellow and I think they come together especially well on the necklace! 

I used a technique that my mother taught me a while ago, which is like a cross between crochet and knotting and is really versatile!

Be on the lookout for more wool crafts coming your way guys....
