Cocktail rings but no glass

Cocktail rings, but no glass. Well in the photos at least. It's the party season and these rings feel like they would be the perfect accessory to a little black dress. I've not had the chance to road test that yet, but wouldn't mind trying!

Ma Belle

Heather bells have become somewhat of a recurring thing in my life since I noticed them growing wild on the slopes of the Cobbler. Tiny perfectly formed flowers that weather the extremities of mountain slopes yet appear so fragile. A nice contradiction.

It wasn't until the springtime the following year that they reappeared and were everywhere in the streets of Stockholm. In pots, on the doorsteps of florists but nonetheless heralding the onset of spring. The Autumn brought a new wave on the streets of Göteborg like a resurgent sign. But it was a conversation that I had with my cousin Lynn that triggered the first drawing and the beginning of a necklace.

Ma Belle is the name given to these two unique necklaces inspired by a string of events, strong characters and mountain flowers.

Limited Edition

The brass birds are winging their way to Stockholm tomorrow and accompanying them are a few limited edition white and black birds. Hopefully they should arrive at LOD on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I took this photograph before they got their red ribbons on, but they look almost as nice without.

A new take on an old favourite

These armbands are one of my favourite designs, both to make and to wear. This is the first time that I have made bracelets from the smaller button units and there are just three in this series. Two oxidised and one in white. For some reason the white one eluded a photograph at the weekend, so it's just the oxidised ones taking precedence today.

A little tip for those of you who are in Stockholm this evening. Klara Eriksson has her vernissage together with Tove Thambert at the lovely Gallery Pascale from six oclock. 'Hemligheter' in the heart of the capital - read more at http://www.gallerypascale.com/

Silver in small scale

The photographs don't give a hint of the scale but these little sculptural necklaces are small and delicate, measuring only a centimetre or two. They are the latest designs from the Park-Life collection which takes it name from a photoshoot last year in a Victorian Park in Scotland and from the sense of Victoriana that these pieces embody.

Love Birds for Christmas

Here is a little preview of my Christmas decoration design for LOD's Jul Utställning which opens on Saturday 3rd December. These little birds are avaliable in stainless steel and in brass and are inspired by the theme of 'Wings'. Here's an excerpt from the vernissage kort just in case you didn't get one in your letter box.

'WINGS'
Birds, airplanes, seeds and butterflies.
Silver wings, steel wings, angel wings........

Rabbits in the snow

Driving back from Stockholm last night brought the first flurry of wet snow for this season. Not quite the powder white blanket snow encapsulated in this Christmas light, which was the second in the series.
