My good friend Narelle asked if I could create a pendant for her to give to a good friend of hers.
Narelle sent me some sketches of ideas she had, and we agreed on this design, which incorporates the first initial of the name of each of the members of the family.
I’m pleased with the way this one turned out, I think it’s effective – and I do love peridot! Thanks, Nez!
I created this pendant for my best friend. Her lovely father passed away recently, and she needed something to wear close to her heart. Seraphim were angels, and seraphinite is named because of the feathery appearance of the stone, so is a lovely choice for this piece.
I designed it to have six feathery figures gathered around the stone, to represent Mick’s six children. Morgan said the pattern also reminded her of olive branches, which was lovely, as her dad used to take her walking in olive groves.
Seraphinite is believed to promote self healing and aid with contacting the spirit world.
I love you my dear friend, and I hope some gentle peace comes your way.
I’m pleased to say I have been invited to display some of my work at Gataker’s Artspace in Maryborough, here in Queensland. Gataker’s is a community artspace which displays the work of local and regional artists and craftspeople – they also have musical performances in their courtyard, and every month they open one Saturday night for music, wood-fired pizza, coffee, art and artisans. Sounds divine!
The lovely staff at Gataker’s have chosen a selection of my earrings and pendants, which arrived a couple of days ago. If you’re up around Hervey Bay way, stop in to 311 Kent Street, Maryborough, and let me know what it’s like. Beautiful, I’m sure!
I created this pendant for Talitha, who wanted a piece to wear in memory of her father.
The symbol is a Scouting one, which means ‘Gone Home’. Talitha will have these words engraved on the pendant when she receives it.
I hope this piece brings comfort and fond memories!
Thanks, Talitha, it was a pleasure to create this for you.
I created this sterling silver ljiljan pendant for a customer as a gift for her partner.
The Lilium bosniacum is a lily native to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the is national symbol of the Bosniak people.
This design is also known as a fleur-de-lys, often used in heraldic imagery. Thanks, Caitlin. I hope it was well received!
Margaret, a lovely woman I met at my stall at the BrisStyle indie Markets, chose this stone from my gemstone collection, and commissioned me to create a pendant for her daughter’s birthday.
I spent quite a while deciding whether to have the stone pointing up or down – I went with down as you can see! The granulation just adds a little something, I think.
Thank you so much, Margaret, and I hope that your daughter loves her new pendant!
While I was creating the lovely Margaret Ingles her coherent wave pendant, she decided that she would love to have one each for her two daughters, too!
I was happy to create this pair of pendants to match Margaret’s.
Margaret is such a lovely person, it was a joy and a pleasure to work with her! Thanks, Margaret, you’re a treasure!
When this hueso handcarved bone cabochon arrived at our house, I nearly kept it for myself, but my son instantly said how cool it was, and asked if he could get me to custom make a pendant for his friend, Charlotte.
The moon face is so serene!
I learned a little bit about bone and bone carving while I made it. I am always so pleased to know there are such talented people in our world!
My beautiful Granny turned ninety-eight recently, and I created this sterling silver twisted chain necklace for her, to match the bracelet I made for her a while ago.
With around two hundred and eighty links to be made, joined and soldered individually, it took a while to complete. I love the simplicity and the gorgeous way it rolls.
I’m planning a little blog post on the creation of it, so stay tuned for that.
Happy birthday, dearest Granny!
I made these annuli shaped pendants for a lovely customer. She is going to have them engraved with some dates that have a very special meaning to her, as part of a healing process.
I was so glad to play a small part in this story!
