the jeweller...

Here are my latest bits and pieces of jewellery. They are priced approximately between $20-$50 depending on what they are made of. If you are interested in any of these please contact me on Facebook. I can also arrange to change the necklaces or alter them with different colours to suit...

NECKLACES

This is a black necklace I made. The big black beads are hand made and have a really beautiful texture.





 This necklace is made from beautiful red stones. It actually quite a heavy necklace but looks stunning with a black fitted dress or gown!

 


This is a really lovely necklace that has had many many comments! Its very modern with the pin on the side and looks stylish with anything.




This is a new necklace I made. Its made out of coral stones, silver beads and black stones. Again, its quite a heavy necklace but it looks nice with both casual and fancy attire.



Quirky to the max! This necklace is both modern and cute. I love how it sits on your neck line and can look dressy. I have also hand made these beads.




This design is one of my best. It looks so stunning on! It screams out elegance and I think can look good with anything! The black beads are really beautifully carved stones. They are quite heavy and I think that element adds to the design.





 Here is another version of the black necklace. Its a little less versatile but when you wear it with the right outfit it looks AMAZING! I have had so many comments when I have worn it!


EARRINGS

Some of these images do look a bit dodgy but apart from that I think that this is a really lovely set of earrings!


This pair of earrings are very similar to the ones above but have a different shape to them...


These earrings match with the necklace above. They are made out of coral and look really classy on.

This pair of earrings, although upside down, are lovely! I have had so many people wanting a pair because they are simple but so effective!

These earrings are similar to the other pairs of earrings but the stones are turquoise. The stones are really magnificent!

 This pair of earrings has been my best seller! they are so popular with the red. The beads are fuzzy almost like fabric and look so quirky on.

the functionality of the object....

Over time, we remember things and we forget things. The spaces we see everyday also change, they erode and disintegrate with the weather and they also get fixed and altered. For this series of images I was trying to capture the true function of the object. I was attempting to look at the essence of objects and even how they change and differ over time, their function remains the same. Similarly to family, we know that things do change, people come and leave, but at the end of the day you know that a small part of them are still with you. With these digital collages, they are made up of tiny images of my family from past to present. They date back to the early twentieth century up until the present. This emphasises the idea of the function of the object being the same from when my ancestors were alive till now. Initially these images will be framed to enhance the idea of being hung up like an old photograph. They also have a photographic and nostalgic atmosphere to them which is exactly what I was trying to achieve.

old fashioned photographs...

These images are a juxtaposition between me and my family. Basically I found antique photographs dating back to the early 20th century of my ancestors and I reconstructed them but with myself in the image. My great great grandmother was in the majority of photos, and in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland, she was known as 'beautiful Helena'. She is so stunning the way she was photographed, my images don't really do her justice!
