Having done over hundred of dreamcatchers, there are always themes that seem to make me want to recreate them in a different way. Here was a previous Yin & Yang design I worked on.

The concept was fairly simple, but I handpainted the feathers to look like the beautiful symbol;10639685_10152460759732058_4216526022264258195_nIt’s been long overdue & this design has been swimming around in my head for awhile now, I finally took the time to create it. My revamped Yin & Yang dreamcatcher; 10262130_10152495762037058_7882053004152114310_nThe Yin & Yang is an ancient symbol of balance and harmony. I used two healing crystal beads for this design. A moonstone and a labradorite (both my favourites!).

The moonstone enhances intuition. promotes inspiration, brings success in love and business & the labradorite is known to enhance strength of will and helps assist when faced with changes as well as challenges.

Can’t wait to start using more healing crystals and gemstones in my work. I love how it has more meaning and purpose behind it than it being just wearable art.

This year has been full of blessings & this is not any different. A 4 page feature in doctorjob’s coursesNow! issue 88. On how it started, the idea behind the brand & the magic behind the scenes.

The magazine is targeted to high school students and school leavers who are planning their next step into the work world and the magazine aims to help them make a more informed decision about their future.

Funny how I’m probably the last person who should be providing such intense advice for someone’s future especially in terms of career. I may have come across as a free-spirited rainbow hippie child with statements like, “Do what feeds your soul and makes you happy”.

But hey, at least I’m honest about my choices 🙂

When Deeper Than Fashion first started, it was known as Rainbow’s Doodles. I started off wanting to merely sell some of my handmade creations to raise money for concert tickets my parents didn’t want to fork out for. I’ll forever be grateful they didn’t. I never in my dreams expected it to turn out into what it is today and I can proudly say, all my hard work and dedication to my craft continues to pay off on a daily. Every day I wake up feeling blessed to be able to do what I love.

Taking a walk down memory lane, I can’t believe when I first started, these were my first few pieces;167878_163468920372635_2891983_n 168415_163469310372596_2605110_n 179028_163469130372614_978556_n 180052_163468940372633_8170681_nPerler beads or as I like to call them, Pixellettes (because they were pixelated, how incredibly clever of me :3). As creativity would have it, I embarked on a journey of learning new skill sets with brand new ideas and materials. 392625_281642431888616_940018818_n 316855_231087216944138_6617457_n 304411_231087230277470_5955607_nBeing a fashion student, I always had buttons lying around. I began to use those to create wearable art. Also, I had a fantastic time experimenting with tassels & fringe jewelry;405698_305566872829505_718868770_n

After which, I finally found my love for feathers. Lightweight, flowy and free, I created so many designs I’ve lost count. Here are a few of my personal favourites;242704_515417525177771_248155113_o 403070_299073740145485_307831529_n

429057_339332682786257_287632733_nSlowly I learnt new tricks with feathers, and I started painting on them;196429_446703455382512_1308251077_nHowever my most prized and favourite creations will always be… you guessed it, my dreamcatchers;402160_305566376162888_2120188939_n 408811_324080320978160_686081725_n 559866_517995334919990_2016805799_nAll the wonderful themes I created, all the magic these little pieces of jewelry provided, I can’t even explain how much joy its been to be able to go on this creative journey. The best part, creativity and ideas don’t run out. You can only evolve and become better. I truly believe I have improved over the years & promise to do so in years to come.

& I for one, am excited about it all 🙂 Thank you for being a part of my journey and growth. Here’s to a lifetime of art, happiness, love and dreams.

Walt Disney once said “If you can dream it, you can do it” & that applies perfectly to my creations.

Being a Disney kid myself, I had to come up with a tribute collection to all the dreams contributed & magic Disney brought to my childhood (and adulthood too!). You are never too old for Disney. Ever. *sprinkles magic fairy dust*

DSC_0076This necklace is a grown up way to add a little magic to any outfit. Not only does it give you the key to unlock your dreams, you also have a magic wand just incase 😉

DSC_0081What better way to add to the tribute than with a tribute to each movie? Beauty & the Beast , The Little Mermaid, Alladin & Frozen. Definitely more to come.

If you are an 80s baby, you definitely know My Little Pony! These ponies with ‘cutie marks’ on their sides, show off different personalities and come in such amazing colours.

Infusing on of my favourite childhood toons, with my love for vibrant colours and accessories, I made these necklaces. This way I get to walk around wearing a piece of my childhood memories;

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Dangling from a long bronze chain necklace, these plastic ponies ponies are the center of attention (as they should be!) with plastic beads in shades of the rainbow (my rainbows always start with pink :3 ) to give it an extra ‘cute’ factor.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThis is my personal piece. Took a plain white pony with a blue mane, and whipped out my stash of paint & decided to give new life to this pony.

& now I have a rainbow one with a peace symbol cutie mark;20140603_075110Now to test out just how lasting the paint is *fingers crossed.
