My favourite jewellery creation to date. These are green-dyed mother of pearl shaped shells with bronze seed pearls. They make a lovely soft rustly-click noise as I move around.This was my first attempt at using invisible thread.

A tiny pair of castles. I was experimenting with bisque paints. They’re no bigger than the palm of my hand.

A not entirely perfect experiment with gold glaze. Still, if you don’t look too closely, it’s fine.
