Jewellery

 
  Jewellery is simple and pleasing to make, and needs to be easy on the eye. There is no limit to the wood types which can be used. Normally, fittings are either gold or silver.

  The earring and pendant set above were made for Francesca. The wood came from Brian's Apple tree at Devon Acre's        
             
             
  A new line that was started recently was the "bottle and glass". The idea came about whilst making a pendant which in reality, went wrong. What turned out looked more like a bottle than a pendant. So, having refined the shape a bit, I had to decide what to put with it. The obvious thing seemed to be a glass. She that matters most said "don't be daft, they will never sell". The craft fair at Potter Heigham in May 2011 showed that they do sell, so here you can see 2 pairs of earrings made of Zebrano and Yew.
