sterling, 10ktY, topaz, 2012
This is a custom design created to fit the stone which had come from another ring. the goal was to make a new setting more suitable to the owner; a bold clean look. we worked on the design together through drawings, mock ups and discussion. the topaz has a coating on it's underside which gives it the multi--coloured look.

X Necklace

x peg necklace, sterling silver, oxidation, 2011
This necklace along with other work from 2011 will be shown this weekend at Hamilton's SUPERCRAWL, Saturday September 10th, James Street North.
My work will be on display along side SW Austin paintings at our booth Ashton Austin Art. We are North of Cannon street and South of Mulberry street on the West side. The event runs 1pm onwards and there are many, many artist to see and hear - three stages, plus food, plus artists, plus other surprises I am sure as there often is on James Street North.

There are other events going on in the city the same day, so plan your route and parking. For more info see The Hamilton Spectator and " it might get loud".
