Rugby and Kaleidoscopes
A custom order
|
|
With these three lumps of clay an intricate kaleidoscope design has been sculpted for a lovely customer of mine and her son. ~ Hi Gill!
After seeing a custom order made a few weeks ago, Gill contacted me with a design put together by her son Lewis for his school rugby team using the same colours as had been seen in the previous kaleidoscope made for Wendy. ~ Hi Wendy!
|
|
Based on the colours of both the Novocastrians Rugby Club and Newcastle Royal Grammer School rugby team, 20 pairs of kaleidoscope cufflinks were made as a combination of 18 year old birthday presents for boys at the school and 50 year olds who all went to the school but also played for Novocastrians.

|
One thing I did fail to do was take a photo of the finished cufflinks! Boooo!
Thank you for your design Lewis! It was an absolute pleasure to make this special order for you!

A special family treat
I had a lovely message from a previous customer of mine, Hannah, with a special ask. Could I make a sunflower?
Not only was I thrilled at the challenge, but was even more happy to be making it for another wonderful customer of mine, Erin, as a surprise for herself and her family.
Erin is a blogger, and a previous dread head who has supported my beads and creations since almost day one!
|
|
I started by blending two shades of yellow and some orange clay ready for the petals. I made two intricate dotted designs for the centre of the sunflower after looking at some photos of sunflowers online. I used an interesting new technique with the yellow clay to produce the detail for the petals.
|
|
A beautiful sky blue colour was then blended ready for the packing of the cane. Next job....make the special jewellery order!
Here are the results....
|
|
Pebble pendant with sterling silver on leather for Erin, cufflinks for husband Dan and four sunflower bracelets for each of their children.
