Bilberry and Birch

This is one of the first of my new designs, inspired by my recent trips to the north east coast of England.

It represents pebbles on a beach, receding into the distance, until they meet the horizon. The pebbles are made from scraps of silver, which form themselves into little balls when heated and melted with a blowtorch (this process is great fun). I have arranged them onto a backing of silver sheet, from largest to smallest, and soldered them in place.

This is the sort of effect that I was after.

This design will be part of my new Coast Collection, together with other pieces inspired by the beach and ocean. It will be available in my new shop when it opens, which will hopefully be before the end of January.
