Nora Fok

Nora Fok's work really fascinates me. Her work is inspired by different aspects of nature. She manily uses non-precious materials. She likes to emphasize craft and artisty. Nora creates wearable pieces from dyed nylon that she weaves, knots, tied and knitted.

Sharon Church

One of the artist that I have found very interesting is Sharon Church. Most of her pieces are inspired by the plants in her garden. All her pieces are very rich in symbolic and has significance. She says, "natural world is symbolic of life with its cycles of growth, decay, death and renewal."

Making More Bangles!

At the moment, I working on trying to make the wooden bangles thinner, because I feel that my bangles at the moment are too wide and with thinner widths the bangles are more for market than for statement pieces. I wanting to cut it in half.

New Pieces!

I have finished these two pieces, a bangle and a pendant. I have enjoyed working with wood and the things you can do with this material. I'm hoping that the vein on the bangle resembles of just looks like a vein plant.

Processing Thoughts!

Over the last few days I have been working on a project that takes a lot of time, wire and hammering. I have made a few wooden bangles and am not working on the wire work for the top of the bangle. I'm hoping that the wire work will resemble veins for a plant.

Design Ideas!

These are a few design Ideas that I have been working on at the moment all incorporating wood and silver.

Private Work!

Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't for my mother I wouldn't be in business. Last week I made a ring for her that came out very well. At least I thought anyway. It was a black Diamond that my mom brought off Bidorbuy and I set it in a square setting, on the claws each claw had a diamond set, on the shank on either side of the main setting 3 diamonds where set. These are very good pictures.
