CUSTOMER REPAIR JOB

Many have the assumption that accessories are just about the creation. Sometimes, it's also about repairing lovely but damaged pieces.

And there we have a complete neck piece restored in all it's glory :)

SAVE THE RHINO!!!

2012-09-22T12:34:00.000+03:00

Last weekend I had the priviledge to participate in the Story Moja Hay Festival and right next to my stand was this amazing rhino :) Well not a real one but see for yourself :)

The most beautiful thing that happened in relation to the rhino was the translation children had of it. One said it was a tortoise while the most amazing was this little girl who held her white Cinderella dress high to avoid tripping and ran towards her brother pointing at the rhino shouting at the top of her voice, "NG'OMBE! NG'OMBE! NG'OMBE!" Translation: "A COW! A COW! A COW!" Bless her soul for placing a smile on my face :)))

The image shows smaller images with rhinos that have been killed... *sob* And the Kenyan blankie on it shows the Kenyan support in protecting the rhino.

Click on the links for some FACTS about rhinos and the different existing SPECIES.

Click on the image below for a surprise gift from Saving Rhinos :)

Have a lovely World Rhino Day and find a way to save and protect these lovely RHINOS :)

I'M SO SORRY!!!

Although coloured cupcakes

tend to get me happy, you my avid follower deserve

and so much more :)

MAYBE

STEAMPUNK JEWELLERY :)

2011-10-28T18:38:00.000+03:00

While looking for accessory inspiration. I came across this video that just got me thinking about how creative one can get by pushing the limits and stretching out from the norm.

The artist responsible is Daniel Proulx who was born in Montreal and spent a considerable time traveling the world before returning to his artistic roots, becoming an independent artist in 2008. He has found great inspiration in the steam era and now makes Steampunk jewelry with metal wire, gemstones, vintage clock parts and other unusual components. He loves creating organic shapes from wire and developing intricate designs with a mechanical/industrial feel.

When Daniel was little he used to daydream about fantastic imaginary worlds. He would draw monsters, invent stories about magical items, or role-play with friends. Now he brings his art to life with stories from a distant parallel Steampunk universe. He uses his creations to share his passion for the world of Steampunk with the rest of us.

WHAT KEEPS ME GOING :)

Sometime life is a blurr, passing us by and despite it all, I have to keep going :)

I had to move from my old place today and HWARRRT!!! All my limbs hurt and my back keeps creaking like an old oak tree in windy weather. All I can ask for is a massage, tall glass of wine, chocolates truffles, strawberries and a good nights rest :) The simple thought, keeps me going ;)

Hope it all happens :) In whatever order!!!

2011-07-14T19:19:00.000+03:00

A must read!!! Many say so but Kasha Magazine stays true to this statement, it is A MUST READ magazine. I kept turning page by page wanting more and more and when I got to the last page, all I knew at that moment was that ISSUE 3 is gonna be even more phenomenal.

Dig into the Main Feature of Jamuhuri Wear done by Kimathi, our own local designer and also Blackbird Jeans. Seeing men take a front seat in the designing industry is lovely and encouraging to others.

The main shoot with Debbie Oyugi was amazing and the photo that caught my, the black mamba (bicycle) ride at night. Check out the ISSUE 2 here. I don't wanna ruin the surprise but be sure, good things in store :)

ENJOY!!! xxx
