</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zanel Heystek is an aspiring B-tech student at Cape Peninsula University of Technology. She matriculated at Stellenbosch High school and lives in Durbaville with her twin sister, who is studying zoology and botany at Stellenbosch University. She was introduced to jewellery in high school when given the opportunity to briefly attend jewellery technical classes at Birmingham Turves Green Girls School in England. Since her first year at CPUT she has been working on Saturdays as a sales consultant at Gerhard Moolman Fine Jewellery in Durbanville. She was employed part-time at Laser Options for six months, working at the bench, carving and model- making as well as cleaning up castings. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her design philosophy revolves around patterns within patterns. She observes objects around her very closely. When looking at something that appears to be simple, she looks deeper and discovers weird and wonderful patterns within. She examines the object or image from an artist’s point of view, by asking herself questions about the materials and shapes and techniques used. She looks at all aspects of design she can draw from her inspirations, such as colour, composition and movement and perceives it with a humorous perspective. She is mainly influenced by everyday surroundings, architecture, people and landscapes. She is particularly inspired by interesting graphic art, such as magazine advertisements and takes a keen interest in unusual or dual-function furniture.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVoFo5VxRG0fp0EO0WxPaTuqeEELcS0mGw64O5JDIDtnLtVD1l35W3o08lplknMpyP_TacWElehvNQvBeJegFcG8oZvT6Y1D1d98ov5dyZS6LHdhEtzsSkkn40B6fLvMHxE0Xoe-nqPKc/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVoFo5VxRG0fp0EO0WxPaTuqeEELcS0mGw64O5JDIDtnLtVD1l35W3o08lplknMpyP_TacWElehvNQvBeJegFcG8oZvT6Y1D1d98ov5dyZS6LHdhEtzsSkkn40B6fLvMHxE0Xoe-nqPKc/s320/Untitled.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><br />

The image demonstrates the effects of patterns one can achieve when looking deeper. She found that the trees in the image weren’t trees at all, but were a series of windmills forming the shape of a tree. She looked even closer and discovered that the windmills were made up of a repetition of elongated trapeziums as ‘leaves’ and the ‘branches’ were the same shape in a more structural form. She finds a way of breaking down a source of inspiration by analyzing the image thoroughly and discovers patterns within them, which she manipulates in interesting ways. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her design and manufacturing style displays geometrical aspects, which derive from her love for architecture and furniture design. The mechanical aspect in her work illustrates a definite sense of movement and almost a constant feature throughout her jewellery as seen in her windmill earrings that actually rotate and comes with a perspex stand that resembles the frame of a windmill. When placing the earring on the stand, it depicts an actual turning windmill. This design is further enhanced with plique a’ jour enamel which allow the wonderful colours to filter through.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

The trapezium shape is used throughout her range of jewellery in playful repetitive patterns, reminiscent of a windmill, with subtle changes that provide a constant flow through the range. The bold pierced out bangle is shaped like a windmill that is wrapped around your arm that features changeable stone by screwing and unscrewing the setting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

The heads are all trapezium shaped frames which features photographs relating to her theme such as windmills, landscapes and sunflowers. A beautiful rendering of a windmill is depicted on a limoge (opaque enamel) setting with graphite pencil. Her theme also features a range of rings in variations of trapezium shapes that is repeated in alternative patterns to create various effective compositions. Each ring has a unique finish and are either highly polished, matte or engraved with linear patterns with a basse taille enamelling technique. This range was manufactured by a computer aided programme called Rhinoceros and carved out with a Roland Miller machine in wax and was then cast in silver in the lost wax casting technique.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

She uses precious stones, photographs and enamel as a source of colour to elaborate her theme or designs. She does not use fabrics and odd findings as embellishments as this takes the attention away from the lustre of the highly polished metal finish.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="AF" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her aims and asperations are to further explore the many possibilitiies of pattern and design.

She wishes to create a jewellery range using kaleidascopes as an element in her theme and collaberating it with her windmill theme. She can be found on facebook and also has a blog from which she markets herself at obvious-ly-not.blogspot.com.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />

</b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Hennie Meyer was born in Cape Town in 1965 and matriculated in 1983 at Grey College in Bloemfontein. He was introduced to ceramics as a medium by pure chance. He was on a Rotary Youth Exchange Programme in Australia in 1984 where the school apparently refused to accept white South Africans. He then applied at the Bendigo College of TAFE where he studied ceramics for a year and received a Certificate of Applied Arts (Ceramics). He trained as a production potter creating functional ceramic ware. He furthered his studies in South Africa and graduated from the University of Stellenbosch in 1989. He became a ceramics and textile teacher shortly thereafter.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He now runs a ceramic studio from home in Durbanville, creating decorative handmade earthenware and simultaneously teaches his skills to keen learners. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Hennie Meyer has won several awards since 1993 such as Highly Commended Awards and Contemporary Design to name but a few from APSA Western Cape Ceramic and many others and has won numerous Merit Awards. Due to his astounding success, he was promoted to a selector and a judge at ceramic exhibitions. Hennie Meyer exhibits extensively locally and internationally at the Sasol Muzeum in Stellenbosch and at the Design Idaba. His work has been included in various permanent collections and has been selected for international publications by Lark Books in three ceramic books; 500 bowls, 500 pitchers and 500 teapots. Internationally, he has exhibited in Shanghai, Australia, at the World Ceramic Biennale in Korea and at the Ceramic Art London.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Hennie Meyer produces individual decorative, yet functional ceramic pieces. He mainly works in earthenware and experiments with the expressive qualities of glaze and clay. He passionately takes on challenge of using composite shapes from which he produces a unique balance of bold forms of highly detailed surfaces which creates exquisitely beautiful ceramics in his recognizable signature style. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What really attracts me to ceramics is the tactility of the clay and its immediate response to forming. Unlike painting, where the brush is between the artist and the canvas, you work directly into the clay.” –Hennie Meyer<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">His work is inspired by the richness and vibrant diversity of Africa’s beauty. The subtle touches in his distinctive pieces are a true reflection of his African surroundings. One can pick them up through his detailed textures and more specifically in his use of dynamic colours reminiscent of Africa without making it appear typically ethnic.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“My work somehow does reflect Africa. I think living and working in Africa is so different from anywhere else that it would be quite hard not to have the sun, colour and edge we have here, not reflect in my work.” –Hennie Meyer <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The characteristic beauty of his ceramics are uniquely functional and simultaneously stands as a fantastic art piece in its own right. He has a distinctive way of interpreting texture and form that creates characteristically playful and quirky elements that makes his work so remarkable. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He incorporates bold shapes with simple curves to create the unique forms found in all his pieces and adds </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">fine horizontal and vertical lines that create a wonderful decorative texture. Sometimes check patterns and X patterns are used that add a geometrical feel to the piece. The interesting handles resemble ruffled fabric and the hint of gold studs and lining further enhances the designs. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cool colours are a dominant feature in most of his ranges. He uses neutral colours such as grey and blue- green tones, which is contrasted with an off-white hue that either gives it a rustic appearance or simply a sense of bold glamour. With other ranges that portray more of a South African feel displays more earthy tones such as brown, orange and red that’s contrasted with cream. This can be seen in a few of his teapots that in my opinion are a bit exaggerated. However these colours are used more subtlety in his tiles that display a sense of serenity that portray South African life. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">His end product is partly matt finished and glazed that gives great contrast to the piece.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A dominant feature that appears in most of his work is the subtle hint of metallic luster in the form of studs or simply a sliver of an outline that give it a touch of glamour and sparkle. The geometrical form and especially the spouts that resemble the beak of a toucan are Hennie Meyer’s signature style. Leaves are the main subject matter used as patterns and embellishments. The organic patterns are sometimes contrasted with the use of geometric lines, and are then balanced by the simple form of the piece.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He creates ranges with a similar feel and shape, with subtle changes of pattern on each piece. This can be seen especially in his range of teapots that actually appear to be dancing that create a sense of movement. The personification in his work is reminiscent of an elegant woman, one ‘arm’ curved and the other outstretched and looks as if it’s about to burst out in song and dance. He cleverly uses the handle, the spout and the body as a way of expressing a theatrical pose that give it a sense a humour and a touch of magic. A set of two or more of these teapots could create a wonderful theatrical scene. It kind of reminds me of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast characters.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The composition of the teapots suggests a human form and qualities. In quite a few of them the pattern work at the bottom half is displayed in a way that suggests a skirt. The handle of the lid is reminiscent of a headpiece or crown hence the metallic rendering. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I especially admire his quirky wall vases which are a great alternative to the usual standing vases. As a group they make a wonderful composition in a large or small space, inside or outside to display flowers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">His style of design is what appeals most to me. I admire the way he interprets South African elements so subtly. The bold and animated shapes and colours certainly capture the essence of South African heritage. His use of clean bold forms and subtle embellishments is what made me fall in love with his work.

</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Anthony Roussel qualified in 2006 at London Metropolitan University/ Department of Art Media and Design where he trained in traditional metal work. He has won several awards since 2007 – 2009 for his innovative style from European competitions in London, Italy, Paris and Munich in the Young Designers category. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Even though he trained as a metal smith, his passion for woodwork was discovered through his experience by working with a violin maker. He skillfully incorporates traditional techniques and materials of innovative design with new technology through 3d modeling software and digital production; however he still maintains his handcraft skills. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He portrays jewellery as an art form that’s displayed on the human body used as a canvas. His sculptural designs are wearable and serve as an adornment to the body. Roussel applies elegant flowing lines with sweeping curves that’s repeated by layers of sheets of wood. These are meticulously superimposed that follow a calculated pattern and rhythm to create sinuous organic forms that create bold three- dimensional sculptured jewellery.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The flowing lines of his work are reminiscent of the sweeps of the British coastline and the sculptural aspect comes from his passion of architecture. The repetitive linear patterns buils up the flat elements into three dimensional forms are reminiscent of the intricate rock formation found within the British coastline. His love for wood has a great significance in his work. The tactile and intrinsic qualities of wood appeal to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">His technique involves the use of digital software, rapid prototyping and laser cutting in his design process. He explores the flowing lines of the wood grain that creates a rhythm, which lead him to layer sheets of material that echoes the rhythm the lines create. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.75pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">“</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Predominately, I work with wood that is laser cut. The tactile, symbolic and inherent qualities of wood appeal to me. Its smell, texture and grain draw me closer to working with it. As the laser pierces through the material, it leaves a burnt edge. This mark left as a result of the lasers heat symbolizes the action of depositing lead on to paper as I would do in a drawing.By using laser cutting I am applying a new and exciting way of working with one of the oldest materials known to man. The meeting of innovation and tradition challenges contemporary jewellery. With the use of wood, I am questioning the traditional notions of preciousness. In using new technologies as a tool, I am questioning existing perceptions of craft." –Anthony Roussel<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.75pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The software allows him to laze cut flat sheets of wood and allows his deign to have a controlled fluidity and precision. The mark making is a fundamental aspect in his designs.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">By hand he assembles the flat sheets by superimposing them to construct a rhythmical composition into a sculptural form. The multiple layers cast subtle shadows that enhances the line quality of the design and creates s sense of depth and volume.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He purchases his wood from responsible eco – conscience suppliers. His strives to seek the highest quality of resource materials. He uses birch wood from Finland, cork from Portugal, maple wood from North America as well as ash, sycamore and walnut. Water filtration systems and milk based paints which are odourless and non – allergic are used to naturally dye the wood. In future he wishes to source local wood from the U.K. He occasionally incorporates precious metals into his designs from suppliers that mine legitimately.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The resilience of the light - wood offer high possibilities, in terms of construction and wear ability. After the wood has been dyed he patiently bonds the thin layers of wood. The wood is then laser cut into strikingly beautiful waved sculptures. The wood is then laser cut which allows the edges to be sealed and releases natural oils and simultaneously removes any possibility of splinters. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Roussels pursuit of advance contemporary craft has leaded him to experiment with digital technology. He has been heavily persuaded by his mentored, Taves Jorgensen and Jo Hayes Ward who is at the forefront of digital applied arts. Their influence has made Roussel specialize in applying radical ways of working with wood.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Roussel works with 3D software, CNC routing and milling machines, laser cutting / etching, water jet cutting and rapid prototyping. He fist experimented with milling technologies at University College Falmouth in the U.K with a research group that was part of a programme called Hidden Art ‘ making it digital ‘ . He is obsessed with the endless possibilities that digital technologies have to offer to contemporary design craft. However he still believes that a designers input is as vital today as it has ever been. The combination of digital processes and handmade craft shows that Roussel has made a distinct impression in the world of modern design.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He has been marketing himself since 2007, by exhibiting his work at several prestigious events and exhibitions throughout Europe. His designs are featured in press articles in a number of international design magazines such as Wallpaper, Elle, Marie-Claire, Retail Jeweller, the Telegraph to name but a few. In future he aims to work on a much larger scale by using his design principles in interior design and public commissions. He also has a wonderful website with all his details and can also be found on Twitter wher his latest exhibits are displayed for the world to see. His award-winning status makes him a leading contender in the design world. He supplies several galleries across the UK as well as internationally such as France, Italy, New York and Kuwait.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Roussell’s design process of three- dimensional construction with sleek organic lines greatly appeals to me. I admire his unique craftsmanship with digital processes yet still preserve hand-craft techniques. I also admire his eco-conscious state of mind which is quite important in today’s world of design. His approach of new concepts of preciousness is inspirational to me, as it opens so many more avenues in terms of manufacturing and design. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

The simple cut outs serve as a 'setting' for the glass blue bead .The colour of the bead is reminiscent of water or the bright blue sky which greatly contrasts the gold of the necklace. In the rings above the same stones or glass is used with gold again in a simple yet effective way.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> I was attracted to this neckpiece for its bold beauty- by Nick Bladen.I liked that he did not add anything fancy .All but a simple wire attaching the orchids gradually in size and a simple clasp to create a necklace.<br />

I would cast restios(fynbos reeds with fine bud detailing) and create various pieces of jewelllery.<br />

and is inspired nature. The crockery is functional and is safe for use in an oven, microwave and dishwasher. I love that the designs have a fun/fantasy aspect-they remind me of fairies. I like that the catalogue show the flower image they got their inspiration from. One can easily identify what they selected from the source of reference such as the pastel colours or the fine detail of the flower that contrasts as well as enhances the designs. I myself would not mind to receive a gift as precious as these tea sets, including the egg cups! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">This photograph was cleverly edited with mechanisms. It looks as though the tortoise was modified to increase its speed somehow. Hence the title "Need for Speed (Undercover)". I love how they used part of the tortoise shell as an opening or lid.The proportions of the shell encased in the lid with hinges and the three- dimensional mechanisms are really accurate and realistic. The illusion makes you look closer and makes you wonder if your eyes are playing tricks on you.</span><br />

I like flowing, rythmic lines, whereas others would prefer hard geometric forms. A good design should speak to its viewer and make them ask questions about the choice of colours, form or manufacturing of a piece. designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08721526946682102405noreply@blogger.com0
