I think the V&A is one of the best museums in London, and I really enjoy going there! So I was very excited to enter this competition (Inspired by): You have to design something inspired in one item of their amazing collection. It wasn't hard to decide for the Samurai costumes, as I find them one of the most fascinating pieces there!

It was a huge learning curve, since I started my jewellery course back in 2009. Not only learning numerous jewellery techniques, but also learning photography, web design, etc, etc. I have so many people to thank for all their help, it wouldn't fit in this blog if I named them all. But anyway, thank you all! And now finally my first batch of business and postcards is ready to be spread all over the world! And my website too! Yeay!
