Whew! It's been a while since I've been here! :P A lot has been going on...making of things, workups for book illustrations, setting up an art installation at Hantverksbageriet, buying a house, building a studio... Life just tosses it all at you at once, but it's never boring. ;)

So...here's some of what I've been working on in the intervening months....
Here are some of the rings I've been working on, and stones I've been itching to set. Closer looks at some of them are included below...

The beginnings of a 'Botanicals' line of jewellery, using lost wax castings of actual plants, twigs, flowers and seedpods, in solid sterling silver...

A silver-white, super sparkley, conflict free raw diamond ring, with a twig band. Very much fun to make, and I have a whole line of rough and rustic diamond jewellery planned...Wedding season, here we come! :D


Raw green Kyanite and silver ring... Looks like candy. Yum! :)

Even more candy-like, imperial topaz and silver... :D

Swedish amethyst, locally mined and set in silver...

A lovely rough and chunky setting for a raw piece of Pyrite...


Some of the lovely Aquamarine rings, both before and after they were finished.

I've also created a series of limited edition, hand detailed prints of some of my favourite photos, taken while wandering the city in the Spring and Summer months... LOTS more of them to see in my Etsy shop, and I'll be creating more as I take new pics, so keep an eye (or both ;) ) peeled! <3
