3rd Term DISPLAY

This is an image of the display.
Today I had to display the piece I have been working on this term, and we as the 4th year students had to look at each others work and review it. 

The comments I got for my work is that I could maybe dive deep into the origin of the actual horn that I'm using as the part of the story and that was from Siphelele. The other thing that Thashmira asked was that will I be settings stones on the Iziqhaza earrings and my answer was yes I will be doing that for my final exhibition.
