I am often asked whether I can work with fragments of flower petals and preserve these broken fragments within resin jewellery. I can of course work with broken pieces of flowers and petals, and have done on many occasions, resulting in beautiful pieces of jewellery.

This was the last pendant that I made last year, and I thought I should show it off and wish everyone a Happy New Year!

I was contacted recently by a gentleman who had a champagne cork form a special celebration (along with a silver 2025 sixpence coin). He wanted both the cork and sixpence coin setting inside a resin cube paperweight and this was his initial design:

Recently Jill asked me if I could make her both a custom designed set of earrings and necklace pendant, incorporating the fur and ashes of her two dogs Bessie and Ebony that had sadly passed away.
Jill wanted a single drop pendant to contain the fur of her two dogs, contained inside separate chambers, and similarly she wanted the ashes from her two dogs contained inside separate chambers within drop earrings.
This is the design I made for her for the memorial pendant:

I thought I would highlight the new additions to my range of resin horsehair jewellery that I have made recently. I love working with horsehair within resin jewellery because of the lovely effects that can be achieved with the hair. Initially when I receive a sample of horsehair, it appears to be a single colour (brown/black), however after working with the individual strands of hair, I soon appreciate the beautiful variations of colours to the hair.

The following are a few of the custom-made resin horsehair jewellery items that I have recently made.
The MS Society (Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain) have contacted me several times over the last few years to make custom branded paperweights for them. These are to be given as gifts to valued colleagues and supporters of the charity.
The MS Society is the UK’s largest charity for people affected by Multiple Sclerosis, a condition that effects a person’s central nervous system. The charity provides support and helps fund research into the condition.
The first custom paperweight that I was asked to make for the MS Society charity is this one:
