Ants
Some of you might have noticed that rather a few drawings of ants have crept onto my rings recently… I spent an afternoon this summer spreading grass seeds in my mum’s garden only to find a couple of hours later that they had arranged themselves back into a neat pile. On closer inspection we noticed that thousands of manic ants were hurriedly carrying them from all over the mud bank and creating stockpiles. I found this hysterical and my mother was furious [and started stamping on them :,(]. After this episode I decided to introduce them into my engraved pieces for a while - I like ants.

A friend emailed me to say they had spotted me on the SERVICE95 Issue 107 March 2024 newsletter under ‘the good buys, Three picks from women-founded brands…’. Exciting.

CARDBOARD
CARDBOARD is a new and ongoing series of one of a kind pieces made in homage to cardboard. Cardboard’s structure makes it sturdy but also fragile if bent in the wrong direction. As a box, it can be used to protect an object but it can also be used in play and manipulated into shapes and drawn onto.

Ghost dog returns
THE GHOST DOG RETURNS!
After the first ghost dog necklaces that were made in collaboration with Paule Josephe sold out so quickly, we have decided make them available one last time on pre-order.
Ghost dog will be available to pre-order for one week, from today until Tuesday 9 July, via the PJ website.
These necklaces will be cast and ready to ship by mid August.

For this collaboration, Hannah from PJ sent me a number of her drawings to create the pendant from. After a bit of experimentation we landed on the character ghost dog which I then created in wax and cast in silver. Once cast, I painted a patina onto each pendant to highlight the eyes and spiral which were prominent in the original drawings.
We love them and we hope you do too :)

Thank you <3
