My jewellery has been inspired by natural forms, primarily seed pods and I have created a body of work based on pod like structures. I use sterling silver, 18ct gold , silk paper and gum nuts to create my jewellery. Collections include "Daisy", "Acorn Cup", "Acorn Cup Wrap" and "Silver Acorn Cup Wrap". These pieces are constructed from individual acorn cup and daisy units. The cups are assembled to hang in long chains or set in to intricate wire structure that adorn the body.
