We are excited to show our submission for the FOX ART competition. We weren’t selected for the exhibition – but we love the piece anyway.
This piece is called Friends That Leave – a collage/mixed media/painting/performance piece involving collaged elements glued to a canvas, and then being forcibly removed.
Inspired by Guernsey and it’s population management policies – and the inevitability of losing friends as life moves and changes.
The Folksy Fringe is now live and we’re thrilled to have been selected! First we were included in the summer exhibition, now we’re in it’s sister show.
Folksy HQ describe the show – “ When we were curating the Summer Exhibition we found we didn’t have space for everything we wanted to include, and so the idea of a Fringe was formed. We hope you love it as much as we do! “
If you missed the Edinburgh Fringe – you can visit Folksy instead.
Included were our bronze pearl waterfalls – the perfect complement to our gold ormer pendant which was featured in the main exhibition.
The metallic coin pearls in these earrings reflect a stunning range of colours which just look so stunning no matter the lighting. They are like tiny disco balls – an ode to our love of the genre.
We’re delighted to be selected for the first annual Folksy Summer exhibition. Put together to celebrate the talent and craftsmanship of UK makers.
We are in excellent company with a wide selection of makers using a vast range of different materials and techniques.
Featured was our recyled gold Ormer pendant – A handmade ‘caricature’ of an Ormer Shell. This is our version of the Ormer, pared down to its beautifully simplified basic characteristics.
This lovely 9ct gold bracelet was created bespoke for a customer who fell in love with our kyanite earrings but wanted the kyanites on a bracelet instead.
The dainty recycled 9ct gold chain complemented the dark blue kyanite stone which is we think makes a fabulous statement.
This lovely multi-stranded ombre pearl bracelet bracelet is made from three charming earthy shades – a lovely green, peachy gold and deep orange.
Each pearl is our favourite potato shape – adding a bit of life to the traditional pearl bracelet. Added to the clasp are three pretty pearl dangles. All with a recycled sterling silver clasp.
We love this style of multi stranded bracelet – it adds a bit of an extra statement.
