January has been marked by a definite creative flurry in my seaside basement workshop. The arrival of my long coveted and awaited new stainless steel shot (tiny stainless spaceships, sausages and ballbearings) heralded a new era of professional finishing to Glasswing work too, as now I can polish pieces to perfection in little more than 6 hours of tumbling.The wonderful feedback that's been coming in from my Christmas customers has really given the staff team around here (me) a big boost, so it's been a bit of an exciting time.
I'm obsessed with these stackable, personalis-able rings at the moment, which can be worn in any combination imaginable, stamped with sentiments, dates, names or left plain in glorious forged sterling silver. I love the soft right angled edges created by the forging of round wire, and the way the rings look stacked together. You can hide your messages, or display them.... and these messages can be added to as time and events move on...a wedding, the birth of a child, a 21st birthday... the possibilities are endless, and the result is a gorgeous and unique collection of very personal jewellery.
