The second, to incorporate at least 8 colours to represent the city scape:
Feeling Fruity
The mood of the lime green inside the kiwi was one element I really wanted to capture within my piece, also investigating the black seeds, and copious amounts of juice that seeps out when you attempt you dig your teaspoon into one.
Abstracting the form a little to appear more of an unusual sort of juice bubble, I incorporated, to me, what seemed like key elements, finally resulting with this:
Black board pins (also serving as small hooks on the back side of the brooch to attach it to your clothing), white card, cardboard and lime plastic from an exercise book, white exercise book binding wire and an elastic band.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

Love is a many splendoured thing
- MANIAMANIA
When it comes to jewellery, I'm a sucker for anything big and chunky, and the kids from ManiaMania give me my fix with their colossal sized bangles and cuffs and embellished statement neckpieces. Their perfect union of raw crystals, gold and silver demonstrates that with large and simple in mind, amazing things happen, and their oversized and almost armour like pieces have a sort of native feel, which I absolutely love!

This woman's work is nothing short of amazing! Although she works in the field of fashion especially in the form of contemporary knitwear, her garments present unbelieveable structures and patterns unlike anything I have seen before as well as unusual layering and weaving techniques; ideas which can be adopted into the jewellery making process!
These are all commercial designers or brands which always give me a bit of a kick when I'm short on ideas, as well as these, there are also so many beautiful works and art jewellery by both local Australian and renowned international artists out there...

Let's get some shoes...
It's deconstruction time!
Those spikes on the bottom look naaaaasty, going to have a hard time attempting to pull those guys out...
I'll continue to post photos of the work in progress as I go along :)
