i bought these old watch faces at a small antique store in Cape Town, sadly they couldn't be restored so i thought they would work pretty well as pendants.

SKIPKE

2010

They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the "blaze of passion" often falsely ascribed to love.

They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. Perhaps their surrounding world, the strangers they met in the street, the wide expanses they saw on their walks, the rooms in which they lived or met, took more delight in their love than they themselves did.

<3

these are for my friends. cos they're in love

made this from a special spoon that was given to me by a boy

This was a set brief and my first locket i have made. Quite a hellish process but oh so rewarding once it was done. The little pattern on the front was roll-pressed. 

Silver 925. 2009

I'm loving the very geometric-straight-lined-solid-clean-cut look at the moment.. Here's a ring i made at the end of last year, set with wood (ebony).

Faberge you smart man

These just blow my mind. It's incredible to see how magnificently crafted these eggs have been knowing that they had half the tools to work with that we have today. These Russian Imperial Eggs are possibly one of my favourite things at the moment. Can't get them off my mind!

spoon me...

I was browsing through piles of cool stuff at an antique store with my friend and found this fantastic spoon.. took it to the workshop and made this cool pendant from it..
