Studio Ghibli

I am really excited about the new Studio Ghibli film Karigurashi no Arrietty (The Borrower Arrietty) being released in the UK!

Based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton, Hayao Miyazaki has written a screenplay based in Japan about little people that borrow things from humans to survive.

You can watch the Japanese trailer here!

I made this bracelet a couple of months ago in homage to My Neighbor Totoro

and I would love to make more Ghibli inspired pieces. There are a few pieces that are inspired by Studio Ghibli in my etsy shop but I think there should be more!

Anchor Bauble Ring

Here is the latest offering in my new range of jewellery inspired by the sea.

I cut out a tiny little anchor by drilling and then sawing a silver disc and then soldered it onto a tiny silver half ball. This makes a light, bauble ring which stacks beautifully with other rings. I have plans to make similar rings with a ship and star too!

Mother of Pearl Brooch

I picked up this gaming counter today at an Antiques Collector Fair.

It is probably 18th century and made in China from mother of pearl. I think it is really beautiful and will make a really lovely brooch when I fit it with a silver bezel and brooch back.

Radicals and Non-Conformists

If you live in London and find the time, come along and see the Radicals and Non-Conformists exhibition at The National Portrait Gallery from 20th June until 3rd July.

It's free and well worth a look to see an eclectic display demonstrating the myriad talents of those working at the gallery. I have created a self portrait by piercing details freehand in silver sheet and there is everything from jewellery to furniture for your perusal.
