Degree show inspiration

I think this could work really well - ha ha ha!

Don Gummer

I've been trying to research outside of the bubble that is jewellery and have come across the work of sculptor, Don Gummer. I especially like his relief work from the 70's and 80's.

Ionic Loggia. Painted wood. 1978. 80" x 36" x 10"

Early Navigation. Silk and Painted Wood. 1982. 8" x 8" x 12"

Portfolio Time

It's amazing how much mess a wee jeweller can make.....................

Castings, Fastenings and Enamellings!

I have designed a series of brooches to act as fastenings for some of Mairi Dryden's garments. After spending ages making one of the silver frames, I was able to get it cast so that we have loooooooooads! We're still trying to decide which enamel pieces to use..........................


Liquid Enamel

I actually like the back of this brooch.....possibly more than the front!


Sliding Neckpiece

Here's my first neckpiece! Silver, enamel and brass eyelets. Photoshopping takes hoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
