Plat Africa 2019

I have decided to move into a different direction for my Plat Africa 2019 project. After a very busy week completing 10 private orders, (one including 50 pairs of earrings) I Apprehensively sat down at my bench to carry on with the platafrica piece that I started working on a week beforehand. My hands refuse to carry on working on this project and my eyes keep on turning to the seed pods that I made a few weeks back. I listened to what my body was telling me and I grabbed the copper pods and started playing around with them. I ended up making something that got me excited again. In metal I created a vision that I have had in my head for quite a while. my body worked together, hands eyes, head and heart to create a silver Cape Gooseberry twig with three little pods. This item will be a prototype of a Prototype that I will create with slightly different dimensions to exactly replicate my platinum prototype
