Lightbulb!!!

Hey all!

This week was a week of deliveries! :) All that i ordered arrived... You see, I had ordered a lightbulb for Nomad, fabric for my fashion piece and my mannequin for display, and this week- my lightbulb arrived... its gorgeous, stunning and any other wonderful word I can label the orbed glass. It missed its event when it came later than product hand in but for portfolio- its ready to shine (no pun intended)

The large role of 120m woven palm leaf has arrived... a huge huge role, and im so excited to create the dress Ive envisioned for so long. I hope it works out.. Evolver would be a great addition to my portfolio and a wonderful thing to see come alive. Fingers crossed!

Still waiting for my mannequin! Hoping to meet my lady this week still- cant wait! Yipee!
Good luck all,
xo

A New Found Olden Day Relic

Hello all!
Update- hmm... where to begin... Been working on my well, hmm.. all of the things Im behind on.. and it seems unending.. but as i was reworking my thesis i found this stunning bridge that i mentioned but had not found it anywhere other than the Herald- the Blaawkrantz Bridge, Grahamstown.

I fell in love with it immediately.. wow.. it is a stunning marvel of human engineering in a setting that just calls for attention. I love the lines, the form and the fact that there is such a history about this bridge. Still present today, i will be attending this tour- as its only in Grahamstown, it is a Heritage site and its so inspiring- I hope you all do too! I found a snip of a newspaper article about it.. so interesting, even though the stunning bridge seemed to create a disaster...
