Skate Helmets - with Wings!

I started making the prototypes for some winged roller derby helmets a while ago now, inspired by my winged skate wheels, and I finally found the time to finish them this month.

Silver Party Ring Biscuits!

And so my biscuit obsession continues. It all started so long ago with my little silver custard cream, then escalated somewhat. Now, I've made a silver party ring! Party rings are great aren't they?

Silver Party Ring Biscuits

I may have become a little obsessed with tiny biscuits. The latest in my collection of jewellery is a party ring – they remind me of everything that was wonderful about birthday parties when I was a child!

More Iced Gems

My wax carved iced gem has now been cast in solid silver and is, as I suspected, rather heavy! Whilst I love a nice chunky necklace, I know others prefer their jewellery slightly more delicate, so I have been carving my iced gem some smaller friends.

Creating an Iced Gem

More wax carving experiments! I’ve been expanding my collection of shiny biscuits, this time with a little iced gem. Working in 3D still makes my head hurt.

More Shiny Biscuits!

I spent some time this weekend soldering my newly carved and cast cufflink backs onto my silver custard cream and bourbon biscuit cufflinks. I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

Silver Biscuit Cufflinks

I started making these at the same time as my little custard cream and bourbon charms, and have finally found the time to finish them. I carved the basic shape from wax, cast into silver, then etched the design onto the biscuits.

Wax Carving Experiments

I've been meaning to make a cufflink back for ages now, so thought I'd return to my wax carving experiments. I had rather forgotten how messy wax carving is!

If I Had a Hammer...

As it's Friday, I thought I'd buy myself a little treat. A dress? Shoes? No - a hammer of course!

Silver Heart Stacking Rings

I made these rather lovely sterling silver heart stacking rings shortly before I moved house. I really like them and have been wearing them all over Christmas.

Birthday Jewellery and Fancy Cakes

It was Mum’s birthday recently, so we all went off to afternoon tea at the Ritz, which was amazing! The boy and I have been before, but Mum and Dad have never been. I also made a necklace for the birthday girl,
