Made with actual blades of grass, this handmade monochrome bangle or cuff is made by collecting, drying and pressing the individual leaves. The 100% recycled perspex is heated and the leaves are pressed into its surface. I then use them like a stencil to apply the colours. The grass is peeled off to reveal the unique, colourful design.
This is a method of dyeing and embossing plastic jewellery I developed myself. I call it 'Fossilised Plastic' due to the fine detail that's captured on the embossed surface - so they are similar to fossils.
Each piece of jewellery uses an individual, real plant. The delicate process of creating each piece means that even the veins of the leaf will show, embossed into the acrylic.
Available in three sizes, measuring:
Small - 45mm wide x 175mm (Circ.) x 5mm (D). 25mm gap;
Medium - 45mm wide x 180mm (Circ.) x 5mm (D). 28mm gap;
Large - 45mm wide x 195mm (Circ.) x 5mm (D). 35mm gap.
Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
