The Potala in a whale in a bottle






This is one of my favourite pieces of 2010. The Potala is the former residence of  His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Tibet. This piece is 124 x 44 mm. It is made from fine silver, sterling silver, 18ct yellow gold and agate beads. The whale has a blue sapphire eye. Make of it what you will.

Ship in a Whale

fine silver, sterling silver, black diamond, inlaid Iranian beads. (112mm across)

While I may have been neglecting the www I wasn't neglecting my jewellery making. In 2010 I moved studios and this was the first piece I made in my brand new studio. Combining things that I love, Ships, whales, constellations, silver, diamonds, exotic beads...  Photo by e.getal.

Back on the Blog train

Looks like I've been lost in the woods but I've made it to the station and I'm back on the blog train. Full steam ahead!
