This week's shop is Silverbird Designs run by Carolyn.
Here is a selection of Carolyn's work, as you can see she makes some beautiful jewellery.
Carolyn handcrafts sterling silver and copper jewellery using traditional silversmith techniques. Every piece is lovingly sketched, cut, filed, sanded, textured, soldered and polished by hand.
“I like to create simple yet eye-catching designs that can be worn for that special occasion or for everyday wear. My work is heavily influenced by nature – I simply love the colours and textures that each season brings”
Carolyn's background has always been art. She has a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration and worked for over 15 years in the design industry. She told us "I loved my time working as a Graphic Designer, but after having my boys I wanted to find work that fitted in with family life and included my passion for arts and crafts!"
So Silverbird Designs was launched in June 2013 on Etsy www.etsy.com/uk/shop/
"This silver bird pendant was one of my first designs and is a favourite of mine, in fact, it's the reason for naming my company 'Silverbird Designs' "
Carolyn is currently in the process of building a workshop for Silverbird Designs. She told us that "the outside is pretty much complete, but there’s still quite a bit to do on the inside. We’ll be spending the next couple of weeks completing it in preparation for lots of new projects I have in mind for the Autumn and Winter months! I can’t wait! It feels like a dream come true!"
