November 2016

November has been my first month back in the workshop full time which is a good place to be.

I have made lots of new work which has gone out to galleries for Christmas exhibitions and my own web shop is live and filling up with new pieces including this set of aqua sea glass and silver pieces of jewellery.

I have had this gorgeous round piece of sea glass for quite some time and am delighted with this lovely clean silver setting; I've left the back open to let the light shine through the glass which I guess is the base of an old bottle stop.

Buoys-a-Dear!

The first set of my buoy inspired jewellery has hit the shop! 

Spending lots of time on the coast the brightly coloured or weathered and faded buoys always caught my eye and earlier this year I started to make jewellery echoing these coastal sights. 

Enamelling round silver and copper discs to create earrings, necklaces, bangles and rings with a pop of colour I offer these in a shiny new-buoy or matt been-in-the-sea-a-while-buoy finish.

So join me in exclaiming in fine Norther Irish fashion, buoys a dear* would you look at those colours!

*'boys a dear!' = a common mild exclamation in  Northern Ireland along the lines of 'Oh My goodness!'
