More of an idea in process than work in progress this week. I’ve had an idea to make small versions of my sea glass pendants and turn them into rings for quite a while now, just not had the time to have a play. But because I’ve been itching to try the idea out for […]

I recently fixed a pair of earrings for my friend Claire and they gave me an idea of how I could approach making my vintage button earrings. Claire’s earring were so simple – just a piece of silver wire, curved and bent in half, with balled silver on one end that held a cut glass […]

I love making button pendants from my huge collections of vintage buttons. I found a whole bunch recently that are brightly coloured and carved and patterned and these make perfect pendants as they’re so distinct and unique – most of them are one-offs so the resulting pendants are one of a kind creations and I […]

I started on this little brooch idea a few weeks ago and it’s been in limbo ever since as I’ve been busy with other things, but I hope to get the first one finished by the end of the week. I intend to make 5 little brooches – all from the teaspoon bowls from a […]

I’ve not been able to spend much time in my studio of late due to work commitments, illness as well as other stuff. Plus it’s not much of a studio at the moment as we cleared it out at the beginning of the year in order to renovate and install a wood burning stove – […]

I devoted some time today to finishing off my initial leaf pendant that I started last week and make an additional two. I could have made another three as I have three more spoon heads from this set, but decided to leave those until next week and concentrate on other things.

This morning, in between my day job jobs, I’ve been working on a little autumnal leaf pendant. I’ve been ignoring the spoon heads that were discarded when making my spoon rings for far too long and decided to have a think of what to do with them the other day. I knew I wanted to […]

I’ve been working away on a new range of button pendants. When I say range, so far I’ve made a prototype and one actual pendant, but there will be more on the way soon. I wanted to adapt the processes I’ve learnt to make my small silver button earrings and adapt them to my ideas […]
