Su Beningfield

I won't try to write anything clever because this work speaks for itself. I have taken a little excerpt from the site just to let you know a little bit about this beautiful jewellery and sculpture by Su Beningfield

Su Beningfield's jewelry is unmistakably sculptural, reflecting her years of practice as a design architect and her fascination with natural lines and sensual forms.  Her South African upbringing imbued in her a love of nature and a clear preference for creating bold and elegant design work.

The pieces are first modeled on the computer and then 3D printed in wax, before being cast into precious metals. They are finally painstakingly assembled and finished by hand. Each piece therefore combines the latest technologies with age-old manufacturing techniques. The result is an unique collection of remarkable sculptural jewelry, which is as individual as the people who wear it.

Cool Tees Thursday: Transmission Underground

Our Cool Tee this Thursday is from a fellow Bigcartel store. We have to support our indie brands. This is one called Electro Dependence By Transmission Underground which is described as being a Cali underground T-Shirt company started in Santa Barbara.

I like the simplicity of this one.

Fela: Waka Waka

A very good friend sent me a link to this Fela track. I have never heard it before and the 'sound' is very different to what is now known as the Fela sound, the sounds of Afrobeat. Nevertheless, I really love this track. Thanks Kemdi!
