Earlier this year I was lucky enough to collaborate with @antoinetteratcliffe on a very lucky cat foot charm. This cat survived her accident and has even groomed her little leg since its return 🖤 Building this silver cage around an organic amputation bulb with fur was a very different process to working with cut gemstones, involving many notebook pages of diagrams and measurements. Started with a lot of math and ended with pure vibes 😂 looking forward to making more jewellery-adjacent unusual things. Antoinette’s taxidermy amazingly lifelike as usual!
Made this little vampire countess ring after finally reading Carmilla earlier this year. At first I wasn’t happy with how the vampire-fang setting looked in the physical form, but this odd little ring has grown on me, and accompanied me on a fe
Made this little vampire countess ring after finally reading Carmilla earlier this year. At first I wasn’t happy with how the vampire-fang setting looked in the physical form, but this odd little ring has grown on me, and accompanied me on a few cemetery trips since I got to the UK. Sterling silver and garnet 🩸

Monster-claw flails on hoop earrings! Made from wax, wire and wood, cast in silver, then connected with soldered chain. All sterling including the hoops 🤍 I do wish I’d taken better photos but unfortunately I waited until the day before the Tipua opening night to photograph the huge backlog of things I had been making for months, as only the jewellery making is the fun part. I feel super honoured that both of these sold to two very cool jewellers, and cannot wait to make more things in this direction.

“I sought, and soon discovered, the three headstones on the slope next the moor—the middle one, grey, and half buried in heath” I’ll stop there for the sake of spoilers (this is from the last page of a book), but I finally read a certain classic earlier this year and was OBSESSED. This final image of the gravestones burned into my mind and I drew a little ring design on a notepad at work, to pick up again once I started working with wax. This was carved in purple wax, cast in sterling silver, and left on my bench for ages because it wasn’t quite right somehow, and also didn’t quite fit, until my Tipua mentor Jess showed me this medieval torture looking ring-stretcher that both made it fit and changed the proportions of the signet for the better 🔥 Finished the top with sulphur and months after first daydreaming it, it looks in the real world exactly the same as it did in my head.
Now that the final mad weeks of NZIFF, Tipua Exhibition prep and moving out of NZ are done, time to start posting the massive backlog of photos of jewellery I’ve made over the past month or two! I was posting this cast vertebrae bar necklace a
Now that the final mad weeks of NZIFF, Tipua Exhibition prep and moving out of NZ are done, time to start posting the massive backlog of photos of jewellery I’ve made over the past month or two! I was posting this cast vertebrae bar necklace all over my story when I was making it as I was determined to fit this amethyst into those bone ridges - took three redesigns of the bezel but we got there! Photos aren’t the best but this is in the Tipua display cabinet at @workspacestudios for another two weekends if you’d like to have a look at it in person among many other things I’ve recently made 💜 Amethyst, sterling silver castings from a rat and an anonymous small mammal, on a sterling chain that runs through the spinal cord space.

Next Friday 🔥 Come visit me before I disappear for a while, and all of my (very) new jewellery from my residency period at @workspacestudios learning new ways of making/casting in silver and bronze 🖤 This has been an amazing opportunity to learn and expand my creative repertoire, and be awed by all the amazing ways people have developed to work with metal throughout history, and has given me so much curiosity and enthusiasm to keep working and learning new things. I’m very behind on photographing/instagramming things but looking forward to sharing my work with everyone in person :) Hope to see you there! (Thanks @heavymetalsjewellery for the poster 🖤)

About a month ago I tried cuttlefish casting for the first time and became obsessed with it, which is unfortunate as it’s an extremely dusty and stinky process I haven’t had the time/opportunity to go back to it since 😂 This was also my first time using an oxygen torch and I botched the first pour, so I’m making a prosthetic for my first casting out of wax to finish it. I kind of speed-carved this next attempt as I didn’t expect it to work but I actually love how kind of decomposed-looking and textured it is. First side was carved into, second side is the natural cuttlefish bone texture from where the two halves of the bone are taped together. I’m so keen to keep exploring cuttlefish casting textures, big cursed sunken city vibes. Poured recycled sterling silver 🖤
