Back to Silver

When I used to work on Islay, the track to the studio was lined with beautiful mayflower hedges. These earrings are part of a range I've been meaning to make for ages now inspired by them.

They have been sat at the side of my bench for quite a while so this morning, feeling a little sorry for them, I decided it was about time they got finished!

The earrings have a continuous integrated hook, a style of earring I love to wear, and have been given a lovely frosted matt finish.

Paper Pyramids: Experiment No.2

Disintegrating with age, each fold of the chalky surface gave way.  Yellow, orange, and white.  Paper pollen on fingertips.

Au Boutique - New Additions

I was in Glasgow last week and dropped in a few pieces, some of which you can see below, to the lovely Au Boutique.  I can't believe they are coming up to their first birthday already.  It's an amazing space and showcases a wide and diverse range of jewellery from lots of different designers, If you like your jewellery but are looking for something just that little bit special I highly recommend you pay them a visit!



Design Market 15-17th July

Looking for something interesting to do this weekend?  Why not head down to the Fruitmarket Gallery and check this out...

Salt Pyramids: Experiment No.1

I've been busy experimenting with casting some tiny salt crystals which form in these amazing shapes. They look like tiny models of the crumbling Pyramids and when clustered together create a really interesting surface, almost like clusters of bizarre barnacles.



















These little guys are now heading off to be cast in silver.  Hopefully they will turn out and I can start getting some designs out of the sketch book.
