My new mini range of poppies and roses jewellery is now properly photographed and listed in various of my handmade jewelry shops.

This rose pendant is made with four layers of disc-shaped pieces of sterling silver to create the petals. The discs have been beaten, shaped with a variety of hammers and domed. It is attached to a delicate silver chain with handmade findings.

There is a matching pair of stud/post rose earrings which have three layers of petals.

And there is also a matching rose ring, which features a rose the same size as the pendant.

This poppies necklace features five blackened poppies which move freely around the delicate chain. I’m really pleased with the shiny black and silver finish on these pieces.

There is also a pair of matching poppy earrings in this style, along with the above poppies ring, which features two poppies which move freely around the band of the ring. I really like the tinkling sound the poppies make when they hit against each other.

This silver and gold poppy ring features a centre of 18ct gold (or 18kt gold if you’re American!) as a highlight.

There is also a matching sterling silver and 18ct gold poppy necklace.

You can find all of this work in my handmade jewelry shop, along with my other online outlets.

Today I collected from the post office a little present I’d purchased for myself - a lovely tripod bowl made by the very talented Shoshona Snow.

This is my third piece by Shoshona and I’m very happy with my little collection, as seen above - and I’m sure it will continue to grow! My new bowl is the one with the yellow interior.

I seem to be increasingly into collecting ceramics - which is odd because in the past I really wasn’t into this form of object making at all. But now I have a long list of very diverse favourite ceramicists and and many pieces which I covet. I now hope I’ll end up with a home full of them!
