Valentine by name

I have long been a big fan of Shahasp Valentine's beautiful organic forms made using metal, gold, pearls and gem stones.  And what better than a Valentine on Valentines?

Fantastic subtle forms and textures, great rhythm and composition and use of gold. Do check them out!

Kim's fancy

Whilst browsing the internet I was caught by these lovely little art deco style metal clay and glass pieces by Kim. Even more impressive is that she makes the glass pieces too....see her website for even more of her lovely work.

Whats even more impressive is she uses glass that not only has she fused but has also cold worked them giving the lovely finishes and shapes that really show the colours...

She also runs a blog and an etsy store from her website so do have a look at her other beautiful glass work.

Sumptuous Sima...

I thought I'd showcase the lovely Sima's jewellery. This is a metal clay and pearl piece which won an honourable mention in a Japanese competition. I think it is absolutely stunning!

Sima also has some wonderful Afghan inspired jewellery, donates pieces to charity and has some really really big news coming on her work.
I am very proud to work along side her on occasion!!
