MASAI

I have been doing some thinking and I know now. Cultural wear inspires me. Whether it be the Zulus, Masai's, Aztecs, Mayans, Incans, Peruvians, Hawaiians, Igorots!!! But mostly african tribesmen and the south americans.I love the stuff. and im not talking about Zebra print and Leopard spots but i mean, jewelry and their idea of adorning their bodies. Its so amazing to find out the stories behind their "adornation". All those pictures are jumbled up. but I love it so much. Especially the ideas of colour and textures. So a few weeks ago i stumbled upon this amazing necklace/headpiece i love it so much and i wear it so often.

Tribal Lady





I admit i have been very busy. But its my birthday soon. and the means PARTY:)

I have this enchanted garden party themed around transparency. Ive been collecting glass bottles and jars since june, and yup:) its going to be amazing.

But appart from that, tafe has really got me going crazy. i found this amazing jute string, and ive been making all sorts of what not with it. for my studio garment i based it around wilting and whithering flowers.
So i made this jute and rafia necklace. i love it. It can also be a head piece:) if you wish.

Im still pending about selling stuff like this... Is this really what i want to do?
