I created this pendant for a lovely client as a going away present for her friend. The symbol has significance to them both. 
I love making special keepsakes for nice people!

Hand Drawn Sterling Silver Bird Cufflinks
We have a little person, and we fell in love with this bird in a painting he made.
For a surprise, I created a pair of cufflinks with the bird on them.
Everyone was very pleased! I feel lucky to be able to draw inspiration from such a masterpiece!

I’m very excited to tell you that I have been invited to stock some of my work in the lovely shop at KickArts Contemporary Arts in Cairns, here in Queensland.
A little bit about the fabulous galleries and shop from the KickArts website:

The gorgeous staff at KickArts have chosen my Spirals and my Ceramics collections to showcase in the shop. If you are in the beautiful Cairns, lucky you! Make sure to stop in at the Centre of Contemporary Arts at 96 Abbott Street.
Sterling Silver Fish Skeleton Ring
I caught up with a dear friend of mine recently after many years. It was so lovely to see him! Isn’t is great how you can have a lifelong connection with some people, and share laughs and stories as if it were only yesterday that you had seen one another? We talked about what we’d been up to, of course, and he was interested in my silversmithing. A while later he commissioned me to make him a ring.
I love the simple yet so effective design!
Thanks, my dear Max, for getting me to create for you. It was a pleasure!

This gothic cross was commissioned for a friend of a friend, as a replacement for an existing costume piece.
The oxidisation gives it a worn feel, and enhances the detail. I like the look!
