Red is a colour I love working in any day, anytime without
stopping. These are some red bead accessories I have worked on as part of our
collection over the years.

CHARM BRACELETS
I have concluded that charm bracelets can most describe the
sort of person I am which is very interesting. These are one of my favourite
pieces to design and make for INKA Accessories and they work well with just about any
outfit all the time.
I have learned to value a lot of things and nothing goes to
waste, not one lose bead and this is very helpful in making use of all kinds of
beads that I have in stock.
Another way to make your charm bracelets apart from hooking
them on the chain is to make a memory wire bracelet and hook a few charms on
them, not too heavy. This has become one of our show stoppers for a lot of
teenagers as well.
We keep exploring new methods and creative charm bracelets for our Christmas collection this year.
CROCHET BEAD WORK
I learnt to crochet and knit from my mum and over the years
I have thought of how to incorporate it into my bead work. After much research
and prancing about I have carved a niche for INKA’s collection of beaded
jewellery using the crochet method mostly using seed beads.
It is one of the methods I like working with most even
though it can be time consuming sometimes. What makes it fun is the rhythm of
work. Depending on the design to be made, there is a mix of colours of seed
beads and the right tone of twine to match it. The most important is this
aspect of colour blending. Even though you can hardly go wrong with colours
crochet necklaces either make or unmake your outfit.
The best part of working with the crochet method is the ease
at which you can vary your stitches and quantity of beads as well as sizes
depending on the balance you want.
It is fun to make and no matter how chunky you want your
necklace I must confess that it is always light to wear and a great match for
any occasion all day long. I love love to work with crochet and make it has
become a number one on the client list.
FASHION and CAREER MENTORING
As part of our business methods I place priority in
mentoring and using every opportunity to nurture talents ideas especially in
the fashion and creative arts. I have had wonderful opportunities to represent
INKA Accessories on different platforms from grade 9 all the way through
graduate school and to business entrepreneurs.
Each category comes with its own great reward and experience
unlike the other.
The passion of growing the entrepreneurial attitude right
from high school is an ongoing career guidance project which we continue to
explore and seek expert and support from all interested to partner with us.

TASSEL EARRINGS
One of my friends has a thing for earrings and some of my clients are heavier on earrings
than they are on necklaces. I have made a lot
of different varieties over the years but
one of my favourites is the tassel
earring.
The variation of hot colours and lengths gives a lot of options and you can always have it
short or long. Tassels are always in fashion and can be beaded as well and capped with
beautiful stones.
PHOTOSHOOT DEC 2014
It’s been forever since I updated my blog and I must confess I feel terrible but somewhat
happy that I have the opportunity to cram so many goodies on here. So much has
happened which I wish to share with everyone.
Our dear friend and model Selassie gave her best in these photos for our portfolio.
Thanks girl.
