Krantzkloof Colours

Krantzkloof Colours 

Here are Some Pictures taken at Kranzkloof Nature Reserve in Kloof. I found these colour combinations really interesting. 





Enamel Testing- Sasol New Signatures

Enamel Test Pieces

I have decided to enter the Sasol New Signatures Art competition. For this piece I want to make a “painting” made up of small pieces of enamelled copper.  These are some of my first test pieces. For the purpose of my initial “playing” I have focused, or tried to, on the colours in the following picture:



I think that by doing this completion, and by doing all these little pieces, I will be able to learn and understand enamels and the colours/ textures that im wanting to achieve in my jewellery.

Colours on my street

Bubble Gum Colours 

Just some sunset colour inspiration.


Colours on my Street

The littlest flowers 

Spotted these little flowers on my way home from the shop today. Orange seems to be a colour that i keep getting drawn to. Honestly its one of the colours I'd normally steer away from but since taking note of the colours around me in nature and by the ocean, it keeps popping out as one of the ones that i think are most effective.

Some water colour paintings and line drawings. Trying understand the colours I want to work with. Im battling to get the colours the same as im observing them.

Natures Bangle

Natures Bangle 

I made this Pieces as i was starting to feel stuck with the enamels, so i thought id do a quick project to get into the swing of things again.
I melted a piece of copper directly onto my soldering board and it created a very rough look, like a little rock. i then added some green, mossy looking enamel. 
The end result looks like a little mossy stone on a crisp polished silver band.
