Recently had my 38 year old Akubra cleaned and stretched by Urban Dust Hat Bar & Boutique in Maldon and forged a copper hat as a thank you gift for their great work. Fiddly but fun to make, and decided to whip up a couple more hat themed pieces - steampunk meets country and western! Recycled copper and a brooch pin, 38mm approx. The earrings feature crystal drops and surgical steel ear hooks. What do you reckon, bling for a big night out? ... See MoreSee Less
“Vanquished” Rescued copper, stainless steel and aluminium.
We had some power outlets replaced recently, and, being me, I dismantled the discarded ones, removing the copper and brass therein. I saw skulls in the copper contacts and knew they had to be on display. I reshaped the contacts and mounted them on a thick rescued copper wire with anodised aluminium rings. I then hand made a spiral twist chain, by connecting approximately one hundred and sixty stainless steel rings and mounted the string of skulls to complete the piece. ... See MoreSee Less
Another day, more packing - and of course, another unfinished project distraction…now complete! “A Dose of Confidence” Lapis Lazuli, silver plated spoon. This pendant was created from a vintage EPNS teaspoon, with a lovely piece of Lapis Lazuli containing a glittery display of pyrities. Lapis is said to promote confidence, cool and calm inflammation, and even lower blood pressure! Whether you give this any value or not, this is still a lovely stone to wear. ... See MoreSee Less
“Bonded”. Rescued copper bracelet. Again I was distracted whilst packing stuff to move from the city shed to the country shed, and stopped to make this piece. Made from a broken and discarded rail bond - a piece of copper that joins rail track together to keep the track circuit complete. This will fit a large wrist - about 22cm around when closed. ...
