Bling’s the Thing

In terms of creative evolution, I have widened my inventive focus to accommodate the inclusion of anatomical as well as home décor. Still based on the premise of sourcing vintage elements and blending them to create the novel nouveau, the process is the same as fabricating chimes and lights but on a miniature scale - a challenge to be sure and one to hopefully result in visual refinement. 
First to be featured is a piece based on a theme of travel and incorporating visages of St. Christopher, the saint of safe travel. The necklace’s centrepiece is a 30’s plated brass badge featuring the many modes of travel - a dirigible, a train, a boat a truck and a car all encompassing a winged globe and centred about the image of St. Christopher himself, a child safely perched upon his shoulder. Suspended from it is my Uncle Fred’s cufflink adorned with a 60’s Plymouth logo and from it a smaller representation of the saint. $135CD.
