Playing with wire



One of my favourite materials to work with when making jewellery is wire. Here is two rings I recently made using silver wire. The first is a more structured piece with a Hematite cabochon. The second is a tube setting in wire with a Aquamarine faceted stone. Both rings have been oxidised to give a darker colour to the silver.

NY




A few holiday snaps from my recent trip to New York. The first photo is the view downtown from the Top of the Rockefeller Centre. The middle photo is the Manhattan Bridge taken in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Finally the last photo is of the Williamsburg bridge.

New York I LOVE you


Where to start? I had such an amazing time when I was in New York although five days was just not long enough! I saw so many things and came back home feeling so inspired (and a little sad!) All good things do come to an end but I know that I will definitely visit again hopefully many many times!
