market fun

 

Here's a couple of photos of my stand and goodies at the last few markets. I'll be introducing some new designs over the next few I Heart Markets, but this month I've been concentrating on other projects so there will only be a few newbies to show.
Hope to see you there tomorrow. 

 

new earrings

I’ve had such a busy year so far, this is my first blog post this year. With lecturing an extra day a week, I’m finding less and less time to do the little things, except maybe my Pinterest addiction (follow me here). I’ve also participated in the “All Fired Up” ceramics exhibition, still on at the Durban Art Gallery until April 24^th. So January and most of February was taken up by frantically making work for the show. I guess I need to work on my time management skills!

Here are some photos of Token’s new earring stock I have just completed. They are available at Mooi, in Glenwood, and at the I Heart Market. All earrings are hand-made in porcelain, high-fired and painstakingly glazed (they are so fussy to glaze). So each pair has its own, unique character.
I've included some new glaze colours that are fresh and versatile.
And, of course, all earrings have sterling silver pins and push-ons (um, ‘butterflies’ to the rest of us in SA).
Hope to see you at the I Heart Market this Saturday, 7^th April from 9 till 2pm at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Marvelous Marquee

Well, last Saturday was the first of THREE December I heart Markets and yes, it was held in a marquee tent to accommodate the expanding family of Marketeers. I think this was the biggest market yet! There was a wonderful festive vibe, despite the Durban heat. 

Here's some pics of the market on the 4th December and my neighbours :)

blue bird brooches

I'm so very excited that Token is now available at the fabulous Fat Tuesday store in Kloof. I seriously could spend hours browsing there. It's a great place for gifts, and there's a wonderful selection of jewellery and ceramics by local designers. Pop in sometime :)
