  1. "Moon Valley"

    "Moon Valley"

    I have a number of pieces that I've finished to a point then lost the inspiration. I completed this 5 piece pierced wine set a while back leaving a 95mm x 65mm panel for a label. Since no immediate idea for said label seemed forthcoming it has been setting, quietly awaiting it's day. They always...

    Here is a photo of a bottle stopper I turned recently that has been inlaid with (24) 2.5mm Cubic Zirconia (Diamond Simulants), set in solid 18kt White Gold.

  7. Beaded Bottle 5307

    Beaded Bottle 5307

    This is another beaded piece, very similar to a recent post (5305). This one has been left natural to take away the issue of color, and smaller less intimidating beads have been used. In this respect it is similar to ones I posted about a year ago except the form is different.

    I was so inspired by Mike Gibson's bottle stopper that I had to try and make one too! Made from Pink Ivory and Holly.
  10. Wine Bottle Stoppers

    Wine Bottle Stoppers

    Did these last week from East Indian Rosewood, Bubinga, Cocobolo, Bocote, and Beech. The stoppers are the stainless steel threaded ones from Ruth Niles and they are fantastic. I made the stand from Lexan. First time doing stoppers and I enjoyed it. It's nice to do some spindlework every now and...
