I was briefly catching up with Wimbledon, and whilst it is a great summer iconic activity, I got distracted with the daisies and ivy that are popping up more with the heat and the sun. Inspired by them, I have made a bangle that hopefully catches that essence.

Made from silver, and a yellow 3mm sapphire. I love using shiny and matt contrasts. Stems on ivy are gnarly and matt so have continued with this contrast. Hand drawn, pierced, soldered and textured (inc polishing and satin finishing)

That's gorgeous Wallace I wish I had inspiration come upon me like that! May I ask how you made the lines for the petals in your daisy?

thank you Faith - I like ivy, it helps the bees, and other insects, but grows so fast I could swear blind it is really a triffid in disguise in my garden. I used a square graver - It is my favourite

Genius Wallace you are so inventive!

thank you very much Sarah

[Faith]

Thanks Wallace tee hee hee, we have some triphid wannabes in our garden too at the mo! I thought it might be a graver, thank you, I really will have to give them a try soon.
