Another old necklace. This one is really, really old. I made it in (probably) 2009, then re-made with better materials in 2020.

The clasp is hidden under that black part which holds the pendants.

Pictish Beasts in Bronze

Remember the silver snakestone lapel pin I sometimes wear on my jacket? It was cast by MaudPunk (who also makes the great Fairford Duck pendants that Kelley likes so well). Now, with my blessing, she has used two of my Pictish- and one Viking coin-inspired animal designs to cast pendants. (The raven is from the Norse coin.) Right now they’re only for sale in bronze, but in a week or two they’ll be available in copper—and maybe silver? (Not sure about that.) Also, though I’m not sure of the timetable, she’ll cast the designs as lapel pins.

If metal isn’t your thing but linoprints are, another artist friend, Vicki Platts-Brown, is working on a couple of other images (flying heron and the boxing hares). More when I have it. And if neither metal nor paper work for you, I recently had a conversation with a ceramicist about mugs. Stay tuned!

Drawn from nature.
Curator Lydia takes a closer look at Elsa Schiaparelli’s surrealist pinecone choker.
Known for her witty and unconventional designs, Schiaparelli blurred the boundaries between fashion and art, creating unforgettable pieces that still feel bold and modern today.
