Africa

Thinking about the type of jewellery I would like to do, my initial though would be vintge/old looking jewellery but I have now been looking into the african culture.

I love these nacklaces theyre so interesting. I love how chunky and big they are.

I have noticed that when they wear jewellery it's to the extreme. Everything is so big and bold and they seem to wear a lot of it. I also like the color combinations they seem to wear a lot of red.

Looking into african culture it has mainly inspired me not be scared to go to extremes and do things big and bold!

Another part of african culture I have found very interesting and links into my project is the toys they make for the children. They use old bottles, tins, scrap metal, wood, anything they can find to make something new and exciting for the children.
