Another bookend commission I had from Sandra Dean - she saw the first ones I made and asked if I could do something similar. I was given a list of her favourite books and she left the rest up to me. I never make two creations the same so this time I added old fashioned candle holders to them. The spines were made from a recycled copper immersion heater tank and I engraved bespoke brass nameplates for each title. The book pages were reclaimed plywood and the covers were a mixture of oak and walnut veneered boards. Big thanks to Clare at Angelfire Crafts for laser engraving the book covers for Animal farm and Wyrd Sisters. Another truly unique piece of functional art completed!

Just finished up this set of very unique driveway gates with a pedestrian central gate for Sarah Barras. The pedestrian gate features a steel tree wrapped around an amber glass moon. As always , this was a challenge but I got there in the end. A few finishing touches to be added once the driveway is concreted but other than that , these gates are complete 😄🥳🎉

Just a wee reminder - could anyone that bought heartstones from my Etsy shop with the follower promotion leave a review if they get a minute? It really helps my shop grow and gives future customers piece of mind. Thanks!

I've been quiet on social media recently but definitely not quiet in the workshop! There's a set of gates almost finished, another set just getting underway, some exciting bookends that I'm keeping under wraps, and a lovely greyhound inspired garden feature just to name a few of my ongoing commissions. And then there's this! Don't spoil it if you already know , but if you dont then try to guess what it's going to be. This was the initial carcass frame from a few weeks ago :

This sculptural bowl was commissioned by the lovely Yvonne Gray from Perthshire. Yvonne asked for something that felt natural and earthy but left the rest up to me. This was the end result - made from a beech wood branch that was carved,.and then adorned with copper ferns, mushrooms and a steel snail. The bowls are hammered steel with a fused copper lip. Another truly unique piece of functional art brought to life from the depths of my mind!

Its final assembly day for a very unique commission. Completed photos to come soon 🥳
