Hathphul

This is a picture of my cousins Hathphul which she wore at her wedding in Sept 2010.

The word “Hathphul” translates directly to “Flower for the Hand” this specific ornament is worn by an Indian bride for the purpose of adornment. “the ornament literally bridges the gap between bracelet and finger rings with delicate gold chains” (Krishnan- 1999).

My intention is to use the idea of the Hathphul to create my own range of “flowers for the hand”.

Display Two

This is what my 2ND display looks like(KZNSA)...What do you think?

Flower necklace

My Neck piece turned out pretty well, I think it looks very fresh, something that I haven't done before. ..I've added some colour to the flowers, just like I did with my flower bangle.

Design Ideas

For the next two weeks at the KZNSA, I want to display my flower bangle...So I designed a piece to go with it. This is the sketch of the neck piece that I plan to make.

Flower bangle

I finally added some colour to a piece of my jewellery...I'm happy with the result. Decided to stick to the “Indian colours”...orange and red.

Exhibition poster

I'm so excited about the poster for the exhibition which is displayed at the KZNSA gallery...A picture of my pierced earring was used. It looks really great!
