When I came home on valentines day these were waiting for me on the bedside table :) Of course before they died I had to put a few away for jewellery. I preserved them and finally had a chance to make something of them this week. This is a 2 inch wide silver plated bezel…

In the tradition of my other Inspira pieces I’ve created a bracelet inspired by the Lake of Quidi Vidi in St. Johns, Newfoundland: Tito and I shot the lake during the blue hour. It was a very serene spot. I love the deep blues and the reflections in the water. The Quidi Vidi bracelet was…

It was tough to pick from such beautiful crafts (knitting, card-making, crochet and scrap booking were popular), but the winner of the necklace is Rosemary!

I was so inspired by some of the sea glass jewellery I’ve seen that I decided to make my own, but I had to do things a little differently! For a start, Toronto is nowhere near the sea, so I had to make do with glass from the Leslie Street Spit. Since the Spit is…

I know, it’s been all jewellery lately, but I do have knitting to share – I’ve just been having so much trouble getting it photographed in these short, dark days! Today I just wanted to show off 2 necklaces that were worked in sterling silver. I don’t normally work in this medium, but these two…

Ah! The last of my leaves. From here on it’s all flowers for me… but in the meantime here are 2 gorgeous new autumn jewellery pieces in silver bezel settings:

Both of these lovelies have already sold, but I wanted to share a peek at my new direction now that my autumn leaf period is over – preserved flower petals. This large pendant contains the petals from a preserved chrysanthemum. And this beauty contains the petals from a geranium: Stay tuned for more additions to my…
