Fellow Jewellery designer Nick Rose and i were donated scrap metal from a Durban company called Chicks scrap metal.
We have been commissioned to construct some works using the materials kindly donated by this etablishment.
We paid a vist to this scrapyard one Satuarday morning and were free to roam and collect what ever materials we felt necessary.
I stumbled apoun an old plug point which i am currently cutting up to make some more belt buckles.
Ive been wanting to make more buckles for a while now, but i am going to make them smaller than the size of a tape.
Previously i intended to make smaller sizes so i made a mould with smaller dimensions to facilitate smaller found objects.
I like the tape buckles that Ive been making but i want to try making variations of sizes that are slightly toned down that might appeal to a slightly more refined personallities. Mabee we could view it as being Loud and soft at the same time.
Im thinking of keying out the red detail and painting the backround just to make it more fun. Theres an infinite amount of things i could do to enhance its visual quallities.
Like all good spontaneous approaches i think im just going to live in the moment and let things unravel as they should.
Im thinking Im going to call them Plug-ins. Its a relevant word that relates to technology and speaks of the now.
