This is a custom piece that I recently made. It's a brooch made out of silver clay. I made it by first carving a stamp into a piece of linoleum, pressing that image into some clay, and then further refining it and carving in the centre symbol with a metal scribe. I'm quite please with this method and was honestly a little bit surprised at how well the brooch turned out.
I'm a jeweller without a studio, for this reason I've been focusing on materials that don't require a lot of equipment lately. I have been working with resin for a few years now, a material which I love for the way it accepts colour and embedded objects and pictures. I'm also very interested in acrylic plastic and I plan to work more with that in the near future as well. My designs are bold and colourful.

I haven't been updating much lately because I've been focusing on my Etsy shop. Most of my latest projects have been put up there for sale. I've branched out from making a couple of custom resin belt buckles to making some more artistic ones of my own. I've also continued working with Precious Metal Clay and I'm starting to get better at it! The picture on the left is of one of my latest PMC pendants which was inspired by the forget-me-nots that grow in my backyard and it even contains a small amount of the flower covered in PMC slip.
