the incredibly talented and divine jeweller, marietjie beeslaar, is supplying my store from next week, with her insanely gorgeous hand crafted jewellery. a fellow south peninsula resident, or lentil curtain local, she visited my store twice this week and helped to clear me out!!! hope you're loving your retro coffee table, coffee set, espresso set, bevelled mirrors and all the rest marietjie!! here's a little more about her...Marietjie calls her range Skermunkil, which is Afrikaans for rascal, “because it‘s playful and lighthearted”.
Celtic crosses, broken plates, tarnished cutlery, biscuit tins, hearts, a Bambi and more all act as references.
Marietjie works in many media including silver and gold, resin, wood, enamel and perspex.
Marietjie etches into old spoons, cutting away the metal to create a pendant. At the moment she focuses on re-using found objects, especially old nickel silver spoons, broken crockery and old cookie tins. Marietjie cuts shapes out of the crockery and reworks this into a ring set in silver.
She also takes spoons and etches a delicate pattern of birds into the bowl of the spoon, leaving the rim as a frame for the filigree. Once a chain is attached, the spoon becomes a pendant necklace. She transforms the handles of spoons and forks into rings, while selected images from cookie tins are made into badges. “I‘m big into recycling,” she says.
