We ate the rainbow

This is the birthday cake i made for my twin sister (Marija) this year. I don't know why I'm only blogging it now. I guess it's because Matty's birthday is coming up and it made me think of it or I'm just simply craving the deliciousness of it. My sister made me a cake too using my favourite ingredient,: vanilla and my favourite chocolate: White KitKat. Here is her edible masterpiece for me!

My Lovely Glass Jar Lamps

My love of lighting design as well as recycling/upcycling has brought me to create these lovely lamps out of glass jars. I had my designs sandblasted on which adds something unique and interesting.

Woolies Retail Project

This is another old gem i uncovered from 3rd year. We were asked to design the retail for one of our made up Woolies kitchen products. The product had to be Italian and we were asked to give it a vintage feel. I decided to express my love for tea-cups and named my tea-cup range; Tesoro which means 'treasure' in Italiano. Here are the two posters I designed for the range:)

I heart JHB

'I heart JHB' is a project I did in my 3rd year of study which i recently stumbled upon in my hardrive and thought why not show it here. :) It was an ISTD Typography project where the theme that I went with (out of 4 other themes) was 'Connecting through Type'. Here I went with the idea of the connections of streets and roads and what better area to connect through type with than central Joburg, my Bermuda Triangle err... square, the very place I dread getting lost in but yet always lose my way in :) I drew some of my inspiration from the famous I heart New York logo designed by Milton Glaser. Each traffic light is dotted with a tiny heart showing how despite the fact that I always lose my way in the CBD, i do love it.

Switcheroo I love you

This is me and my Matty doing the switcheroo! I would recommend this little activity to anyone and everyone! We were in stitches for a good hour after this was taken. Now i know what it feels like to wear my boyfriends clothes. I sort of felt like a gangster with those shorts below my knees. Matty looks absolutely hilarious! ha ha! I first saw it done on Sincerely Hanna. 'Hana is a self-taught photographer raised in Whistler and currently living in Vancouver, Canada. Her main focus in photography is the “little moments” that people sometimes miss and later wish they had captured'. And thats a great focus to have! I'm definately glad we captured this moment. :)

The Hype Machine

The Hype Machine is my favorite music website. It has the freshest newest, unreleased underground music in the world. It makes my day WONDERFUL!

Some Swapping Mall Publicity

Best couple photograph for Saltwatergirl Magazine

My boyfriend's lovely sister; Kirst sent in a photograph that she took of me and Matty on the beach for the saltwatergirl best couple photo competition and she won me these amazing Havaianas limited edition Valentines slops :) I love them! and i love you Kirst bird!

My Lovely time at the Swapping Mall

I loved running a workshop and showing people how to create a lovely lamp out of milk bottle cuttings. It was nice to see how amazed they were at what you can do with a little creativity! I also created various milk bottle brooches and hair clips which were going fast! The whole event was a success and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! People got away with some rad stuff! A 13" mac book was up for swap for 6 tokens. I saw a disco ball go in seconds and some vintage clothing didn't last long on shelf either. We had 4 other experts running workshops, Up cycling furniture, clothing and jewelery. It was fun to get back to basics for a change. I hate spending money so this gave me such a lovely feeling!

This lamp was a new design i tried, not unlike the Firefly lamp with the glass jar though. I instead used a globe that my dad helped me attach to the lid of the glass jar together with the globe fitment. I then placed masking tape in stripes on the jar and sprayed it with Frosted Glass ( amazing invention BTW) :) These swapped like hotcakes!!
