Welcome to my website

Welcome to my first post. I thought I’d use this blog to document work that has been sold and some of my processes.

This pendant didn’t make it to my website as it was sold the day after it was made. It was a lovely pendant with the corrugated silver, the pop of the red enamel flower and the oxidisation. I call this series ‘Grunge flowers’, pretty enough but but not too pretty. I will be exploring this series further. I actually don’t plan my pendants, I rarely draw anything first. If I do a drawing, its a very quick simple sketch, so I can get it out of my mind and come back to it later or move on to something else. The quick sketch generally is nothing like the finished piece anyway, its just an idea. My work is all intuitive, I make it up as I go along, it ‘talks’ to me.

I make everything, the flowers, the corrugated metal, each piece is unique. When making earrings I make my own hooks. The only things I don’t make are the fine silver chains as they are machine made.

I enjoy what I do and it’s wonderful when one of my pieces go to a new home.
