Upcoming Collection

I’ve decided to keep my jewellery blog separate from my travelling one (Willow Rolfe) so it doesn’t all turn into a big mess, so this is the start!

I’m making three collection, this first collection is based on a hand carved parrot, the beginnings on a new torque pendant

The initial drawing

and the carving it produced

Mock up of the final design

The little white leaves are made of vegetable ivory (Tagua). This is a mock up of my final design coming soon!

The second collection is based on this little bird

alongside this rather nice spoon with a bit of additional wax detail

The three collections are tied together by subject an materials so I wanted to include some Tagua in this piece too. Rather than carving the bird in wax I had a go in Tagua. I also carved a little wax one to that I’m going to use in a commercial collection.

Mock up of final design

Then last piece is more work in progress as I just have this carving at the moment, more to follow very shortly!
