A Heavy Heart, Silver, June 2008
This pendant is based on a commission I did a while back, it's designed to look a little like a real heart, and it's heavy. You're meant to feel it all day long, a heavy heart thats always on your mind.
I'm probably doing too many things at once these days but hey ho. I make jewellery, mainly working in silver, and at the moment am dreaming about the day I can start making some automata (always gets put off 'til another day). I restore clock dials for the family clock making business, and make various little decorative bits of metalwork like fingers or anything that needs gold leaf. I do a few hours a week in the local college teaching jewellery as part of the BTEC Design and Foundation Degree courses which I love, it's quite inspirational and keeps the brain ticking over.
