A Golden Burst of Light Amidst the Clouds

I am having a great time designing unique jewellery for you to wear.
My biggest inspiration is nature. I couldn't stop laughing at the lake as small loons dove down as the large waves almost got them, and then popped up before the next wave and then dove down again! It was so joyful to watch! Now that is inspiring! Nature resides within us, and we only need to be quiet a moment to reach it. You can find every shape in nature.
Another influence that arises is my love for the flowing form of the 1890s art nouveau period. Open, graceful, swirling with movement — the designs remind me of the universe and the galaxies. I like Art Deco too, which grew out of that period. Order, the majestic shapes of buildings and it makes me think of the theatre, fun nights out. I like colours that play with each other and intricate designs that look light. I have been making some pieces that are lighter to wear. That has been a request fulfilled!
I like working with glass to add colour and pizzazz to a piece, without the added expense of precious stones. Mixing different chains with glass beads gives a particular movement I like around the neck.

Potential
I gave these to my sister ... in recognition of her ability to see the potential within the walls of buildings, old chesterfields, the beauty of discarded washing machines, lamps and chalkboards and melding those into new spaces with new life.
I wish to make something that you feel joyful wearing. Wear it and set free the beauty you are for all to see!
