some pictures of our stand

kamers vol geskenke

kamers vol geskenke starts this week.

it runs from the 21st to the 27th of October.

i can't believe it is already here....

i hope you will all come and hang out with us and buy some of our lovely things.

i got marli, my partner in crime, to take some photos of the things we will be selling.

here it is, have a look ↓↓↓↓

lovely laboratory glass vessels that you can use as flower pots or planters or you can use it in the kitchen as measuring jugs and wot not.

marli made the beautiful botanical illustrations and we had it sand blasted onto the glass.

 

 
 
 marli made amazing artworks which she had letter pressed in gold and then framed in these lovely wooden box frames.
 

she is also doing fantastic christmas packaging in the form of plastic buckets with gold vinyl on it, after you have used the buckets for your kids gifts, which is cool cause they can't break the seal otherwise you would know, you can use it around your house for anything and everything.

no more packaging that you just throw away :)

we also made some porcelain tea bowls and put some gold transfers on them. nice.

 

more of clever marli :)

we also had some awesome glass pendants blown. 

we're putting air plants in them and putting them on long silver chains. i think they are just great.

besides all of these things there will be more....

yes ways....

i will have some jewellery there (surprise surprise) and my hanging bettie plants

and marli has made beautiful letter-pressed notebooks.

so don't miss out and don't come without saying hallooooo!!!!!

we look forward to meet you!(but only if you nice :))

porcelain goods in the making

 some porcelain dolls heads for "kamers vol geskenke"

i will turn them into pendants.

they are all hand painted and one of a kind.

 cups cups cups for the Potter's market 17 November.

pinterest inspiration

what i like most about pinterest is actually to go back and look at all my pins. 

i get so consumed with the pinning side of things i often forget to stop and look at all the rad things i have pinned and collected so far. 

and obviously your own pin boards would be your favourite, containing everything you love or wish for or admire or just dream about. 

i think what i like most about it is that i can save everything that inspires me in one place. 

sometimes its colour, other times feelings in pictures, a lot of the time it is quotes, at the moment it is patterns and shapes.

here are some of my favourites:

 

cavern

 

from dwell

 

suzanne antonelli

check out the link, her tumblr is just ridiculous with cool shapes and patterns.

 

luli sanches

bettie plants for kamers

i have been working on some things with my good friend marli lyon for 

Hallloooo Marli

Kamers vol geskenke this year.

a collaboration. 

the other day we were wondering about the Afrikaans word for collaboration, i thought for sure there must be an interesting translation, but no! there is not. 

it is "saamwerking" which to me sounds lame, so i think we will have to come up with our own word.

i'll think about it and let you know...

so collaborating is fun, you learn a lot....different people think in different ways, 

which keeps things interesting. 

it creates all kinds of possibilities for growth.

one of these days we will take some photos and show you the things we have been working on. 

it is a mix of things.

things we have worked on together and also things we have done independently, 

i think it all works nicely together as a collection of things.

there has been a nice botanical theme running throughout, which has been fun.

here are some of the hanging plants i made for the Bloemfontein show, 

there will also be some for the Lourensford show in Somerset west and the Irene show in Pretoria.

the bettie heads are porcelain, i plant different plants inside her head and she hangs on a brass chain.

our little sale in town

we will be taking part in the "Isabel de Villiers" clothing launch this saturday. 

please come and support us....

it will be great to see you.

all skermunkil jewellery will be less 10%!!!
