From the archive

I have been making domed pendants for many years in various forms, I will show my original ones in later posts. For some reason, I just can’t leave the dome alone and always come back to it with new ideas creating a new series. I am delving into my archive of sold work to document this journey.

Each domed pendant I make is different, they are their own little artwork. As with all of my work, I start out with a spark of an idea which then evolves into the finished piece.

The pictured pendant is part of a series where I enamelled the flowers using a product called U-namel. It is an enamel that is hardened by ultraviolet light and is perfect for inlaying into the little flowers of a nearly finished work. The colours are transparent and create an almost a pearlised finish on the little flowers. For this pendant l used sterling silver wire to stitch part of it together and created little stylised leaves to complement the flowers.
