This series of resin pendants were inspired by a group of vintage Valentine's Day cards that I found at an antique shop. The cards had been written upon and sent to the owners' sweethearts. They looked like they had been saved for years and well loved. I like the idea of taking a piece from someone's long ago love affair and adding that to a piece of jewelry, possibly to be bought and sent by someone to their own love. It gives it a history of hearts!
They are made from brass with Ice Resin and various found objects, brass components, bits of paper, match sticks, and glass beads. The resin is crystal clear, and very reflective, and amplifies the collage inside the brass pendant with amazing detail. Unfortunately, they are so reflective, they are a bit hard for me to photograph, but I love each one dearly!
This pendant was made from a raw brass frame pendant, which was heated with flame to give it interesting coloration. Some of the pendants in this series were also hand domed with a hammer and dapping block. The pendant was then carefully filled with the paper and found object bits and covered with a water-like layer of crystal clear resin.
Beatrix Potter
Watercolour on paper
Beatrix first drew the little mouse Appley Dapply in 1891. Over the next ten years she invented new characters and composed verses inspired by traditional nursery rhymes. In 1905 she sent Norman Warne a manuscript containing 19 verses. Although he selected his favourites, the project was shelved. It wasn't until 1917 that Beatrix encouraged Frederick Warne & Co to publish a small selection with some of her original, and some re-worked, illustrations.

Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature
(March 2022 to November 2022)
Celebrating the life and work of one of the best loved children's authors of the 20th century.
Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature is the first exhibition to tell the complete life story of Beatrix Potter, one of the best loved authors of children's fiction in the 20th century. Realised through a major partnership with the National Trust, this playful and interactive exhibition invites visitors of all ages to rediscover this household name and explore the full breadth of her achievements and multifaceted life, from storyteller to natural scientist and conservationist.
The exhibition showcases over 200 personal objects including artworks, rarely seen letters, manuscripts, sketches, coded diaries, family photographs, commercial merchandise and personal artefacts. It celebrates her early talent for storytelling, her business acumen and her fascination with the scientific study of the natural world, as well as her passion for sheep farming and conservation – a legacy still felt today.
Across four sections, the exhibition follows Potter's journey from London to the Lake District, where she eventually settled. The first section, Town and Country, provides a backdrop to her childhood in South Kensington in London; Under the Microscope highlights Potter's interest in natural science; A Natural Storyteller reveals her almost accidental journey to becoming a best-selling author; finally, Living Nature follows Potter to the Lake District and celebrates her profound impact on the natural landscape.

This audacious necklace features a rare and beautiful siam ruby cut glass stone, made in West Germany in the early 1950's. This lovely stone is set in a fabulous lattice and flourish filigree stamping. Meticulously crafted with attention to the finer details, such as back-to-back connectors (so they don't turn and show their dapped side). Gorgeous faceted deep-ruby czech rondelles add drama and balance. Asymmetrical design, double chain. My jewelry is available for purchase at loreleidesigns.etsy.com
