Wire wrapping

Hello all. When I started this website it was dedicated both to my photography and my jewellery making but I feel like I have been neglecting the jewellery side somewhat. At the week-end I have done a bit of film editing of my Instagram live videos, I condensed down what would be 4 hours of video to a fast 10 minute and 4 minute videos.

This is a moss agate wire wrapped in silver wire – this of course is available in my Etsy shop, I say of course, but you probably have not seen it yet. The whole process did take about 4 hours to create it from start to finish; I uploaded the condensed video of just over 10 minutes here. I created this piece live on Instagram, so I re-used the footage to showcase my process.

This pendant was also created during an Instagram live event, once again the whole process took just over 3 hours, the footage I condensed the live footage to just over 4 minutes, and you can see it here. This piece can be purchased in my British online shop on Folksy.

These pendants and many more are available in my two shops, I do ship internationally, and if your budget may be tight, get in touch, give me a shout, let’s see what we can do via my shops. Of course a like will never go amiss either.

Thank you for taking the time to watch, visit or read this blog.

Catch you on the interwebs team.

Thanks for visiting.

Chunky amethyst pendant

An absolutely stunning amethyst stone, wire wrapped in tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire. The size of the stone allowed for a much more complicated design, that reminds me of rococco style pieces.

This is a chunky pendant that looks beautifully on a long chain, and for your convenience a silver plated chain will be included. It would look amazing with a beautiful dress, and even with a V-neck t-shirt.

Brecciated-jasper pendant

Last month I was showing of a triangular brecciated-jasper pendant, this month I listed my second piece with a distinctly different and yet similar stone. This brecciated-jasper stone has high levels of hematite veins all over, so the best silver filled setting was a very simple wire weave.

If you would like to own it, click here – to visit my Etsy listing, and of course if jasper is not your thing, have a look around I have a large collection of wearable art pieces available.

Thank you for your visit

Random acts of kindness

Today 17/02/21 is the “random acts of kindness day” and to celebrate on my Etsy shop I have 15% off for 24 hours. Type in KINDNESS at check-out and if the cart is £20 or over, your discount applies. You can send a beautiful hand made wire wrapped wearable art piece to a friend or to yourself. Click here

Random acts of kindness is something that is indeed dear to my heart, as this can help someone understand that the human family is indeed a family. When you help out a perfect stranger because you have the means, the kindness you showed ripples through time and space and unites us all in love.

“Paying it forward” is another way to show that one day someone believed in you enough to help you out, so that when the time comes and you have the means to do so, you can in turns brighter up someone else’s day.

Hope you have a wonderful day out there in the world, and that someone thinks of you today.

Send a virtual hug, or give an actual hug, say a nice word to your neighbor or engage in conversation someone who seems to need it.

To you my reader, I send gratitude and wish you a wonderful day wherever you are in the world.

YOU MATTER, YOU ARE SPECIAL, YOU ARE LOVED.

Giving to charity 2020.

Yup, this year I decided for every piece of jewellery I sell in the run up to Christmas, I will donate £1 per item sold to a local charity dear to my heart.

I already offer FREE postage in the UK, contributing to a lower price for the buyer, but I commit to also donating to charity.

If I sold all my 200+items that would mean £200 to charity, at a time when as a human family we need to work together to help each other navigate 2020.

In total I was able to donate £10+ Gift Aid to two charities in the UK, following the sale of 10 items in the run up to Christmas 2020.

My two online shops are on Etsy (US platform) and Folksy (UK platform). Each shop has a unique stock.

Wrapping it up for Christmas 2017 – only until 15th December

Not long left until Christmas time is here for Christians across the globe. It is a time to spend with family and friends. It is a time for celebration and gifting.

For many of us, this time can be very stressful to get the “right gift”. Gifts do not have to be big. Gifts can be small and home made. Or even locally made.

These beautiful pieces are still available in my Etsy shop.

To help Santa along a bit…. if you buy from the UK shipping is on me until the 15th December 2017;  standard shipping charges apply world wide. 

Visit my jewelery shop

Shop will be taking a break from the 15th December, until January 2018, when it will reopen. Hopefully I will have some new pieces added to the collection.

A short holiday, is always a wonderful time to recharge.

Continue to shop local, continue to support local artists, if not through buying then through promoting your local shops though blogs; liking the artist pages. Let’s support creativity; imagination and diversity.

Jade feathered pendant

This intricate pendant is wire wrapped in tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire.

The gem stone is a translucent semi precious green Jade stone. Due to the translucency of the stone photographing the true colour was tricky; the stone has silver veins running through it; giving the pendant a unique look pending on the light.

The size of the pendant will look amazing on a long chain (included). The pendant comes packaged in a gold organza bag; for safe storage.

_________________________________________________________________

These pendants came to be mostly because i have a myriad of individual beads which can’t be made into full necklaces for the lack of symmetry. It is like having that odd sock you can’t ware; similarly odd beads are much harder to incorporate; therefore each one of them now has a new life.

Can be worn as part of day time or evening ware.

Healing properties according to gem therapy:

Agates are grounding stones, bringing about an emotional physical and intellectual balance. They aid in centering and stabilizing physical energy. Agate has the power to harmonize yin and yang, the positive and the negative forces that hold the universe in place. A soothing and calming stone, agate works slowly but brings great strength. Its multiple layers can bring hidden information to light.
