CHILDHOOD RE-VISITED BY HONICA

Honica writes

“Playing with fire, and placing pennies on the railway tracks…., these are things I actually did not do in my childhood, but I have indulged in these youthful pastimes many times since I became a jewellery designer.

Playing the soft flame of the torch over brass shapes and copper pennies brings a rainbow of colours to the surface. And of course, the train do a wonderful job of reforming pennies into soft curved irregular shapes.

While the genesis of this collection was a playful exercise of seeing materials in a new way, more traditional metal working techniques such as roller-printing, hammer forging, and engraving gave depth and value to each design.

Adding a carefully chose palette of many different beads, which highlight and enrich the metalwork, this jewellery reminds me daily that “all work and no play”….well, you know the rest”.
