hey pals, post concussive syndrome had led to me seriously contemplating opening an etsy shop for my bracelets ! (don’t worry, i’m fine, just marginally bored). these are a few of the bracelets i’ve made in the past week when i’ve had to limit my screen use to almost none.
lmk if you have any cool bracelet ideas or if you’d be interested in purchasing a bracelet!!!
i make my bracelets primarily from semi-precious stone beads, with glass and plastic beads as accents.
here we have:
pink: rose quartz & white jade
pink/red: rose quartz, morganite, amethyst, brown snowwflake obsidian
The two Brighton, UK based Designers, and makers Barnaby Ash and Dru Plumb came together with the passion to honor the appearance of natural materials. so they decided to craft classically formed pieces like these lamps and combine them with natural materials like different kinds of wood in a way that displays the beauty of the character of the material. in this case three beautifully charred lamps.
Tom Raffield’s steam-bent timber forms are mesmerising!
A true Designer-Maker who has made his career forging beautiful creations out of delicately steam-bent wood, Tom Raffield and his wife Danielle are no strangers to pushing the boat out. Their love for steam bending is so strong the pair even created their own steam-bent house! Recently featured on Channel 4′s Grand Designs, the house is a masterpiece of traditional craft and a testament to the pair’s talents. Perhaps a little spartan in some places inside for my liking, the house is nonetheless an astonishing creation.
Tom’s products are similarly stunning. Having now garnered the attentions of high-street retailers and bespoke dealers, the variety of his products seems only set to grow broader. I just wish I could afford them! Being bespoke and 100% hand-made, they don’t come cheap!
