A slightly tenuous sporting connection, but I was really chuffed with how this turned out!
I was asked to make a necklace for the founder of London Rollergirls roller derby leage for their 10th birthday. They asked for something based on their annoyingly complicated logo, which looks like this:
So, I designed a necklace based on the core elements, so the Union Jack and the safety pin, and inspired by a classic punk Vivienne Westwood necklace.
Carved the safety pin head and Union Jack from wax:
Then all cast in silver and I soldered silver wire for the pin (it's not a functioning safety pin, the pin bit is soldered shut).
Some laser engraving on the back, and tada!
It took a while to make, but she loved it
