I created this lovely pendant a short while ago as a memorial piece. Together with a friend of the recipient I started the design process with sketches and resin colour sample making changes until the design looked just right. Together we were able to create a beautiful pieces that can be worn everyday in memory of their lost loved one.

After a consult with details about ring size and width I made some sketches for the customer to choose a design from. After she decided on the design I got to work carving.

Let me gush for a moment, I am honoured that I got to make this ring and ecstatic with the way it turned out!

My heartfelt congratulations go out to the newly engaged couple Laura and Josh! You were both such great collaborators, you made my job really easy.

These are some oldies, but goodies. Last year the studio was tapped to create some prop pieces for the TV show Reign. Below you can see the process of creating pieces that are emblems for Mary, Queen of Scots personal bible. The design was sourced from films stills to recreate the elements of the prop. The emblems were later attached to a hand bound book by a bookbinder.
