I’m very excited about this release!

I’ve been working on these behind the scenes for the past couple weeks and I finally got around to photographing them today. I’ll be listing them individually throughout the day.

I love them! I like their dainty simplicity.

They are made by weaving tiny 1mm Japanese glass seed beads through Antiqued Copper small cable chain. They look adorable worn individually, stacked together or even paired with other bracelets. I’ve chosen to list them individually, but I might list some in pairs or groups later on. We’ll see how it goes!

Do you like?

Helena Emmans resides on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a B.A (Hons) in Design. She says she is inspired by delicate geometric elements found in dandelion clocks, poppy heads and other fragile botanical structures found around where she lives and likes to fuse stylish wear-ability with delicate detailing.

Last night while googling “handmade jewellery” in Ireland I came across this truly talented artist based in Cork, Ireland. Her name is Alicia Mannix and she is a metal artist, but in her 10 year career has worked with a variety of materials such as silver, glass, copper, wood and steel.

Her newest silver collection is what caught my eye. Named “Botanicals”, it captures the similarities between natures ephimerial beauty and the human form.

She is registered with the Crafts Council of Ireland, but from what I can tell does not have an online shop.  Her prices range from €26 – €250 and she can be contacted through email: info@alicia.ie or through her beautiful website: www.alicia.ie

She also teaches classes at The PMC Studio in England.

Me: loving it! Check her out.
