Memories of Italy - Bottlestop Commission

I have been commissioned to design a bottlestop based on the receivers favourite destination, Italy. The client visited my studio where we got ideas down on paper. The design is based around the encapsulation of the receivers Italy memorabilia. The objects to be encapsulated include magazine cuttings, a map and some stamps. The next stage is mold making in preparation for casting.

Wedding Present - Love Heart Bottlestop Commission

Annette contacted me asking if I could make her a bottlestop encapsulating some images of love heart sweets. Two of Annette's friends are getting married and the bottlestop is a wedding gift. Annette visited me at the studio to discuss her idea further. We decided that it would be a nice idea to include the actual sweets within the design. Annette left the rest to me.

Skull Pendant Commission

I have been asked to make this skull into a pendant/ interesting object. After discussing the pendant idea with the client we decided to encapsulate the skull without using any colour. To make the skull look extra white I will be bleaching it's surface.

The shape of the encapsulation will be a rounded triangular shape. When the pendant is being worn the triangle shape will be longer than it is wide with a flat edge at the top moving down into a point.

The curves in the surface of the clear encapsulation will magnify the objects details and because the encapsulation is going to be entirely clear the wearer will be able to see every detail of the skull.

Another reason for making the encapsulation clear is so the pendant will be well suited to different outfits and because the skull is quite large it will make the pendant look and feel smaller.

Comic Ring Commission

The first stage to making a comic ring commission is for the customer to select a piece of comic. We then discuss shapes, colours & the desired finish. We have decided to use a red ring base.


The comic book cutting has been cast and shaped. Now I'm making a mould for the ring base. The former has been sculpted from MDF and I'm using a flexible clear rubber to make the mold.

Wedding Jewellery & Gifts Commission

Commissioned to design and make wedding gifts, bridesmaid’s jewellery, bride’s jewellery and cufflinks for the best man and groom. It was agreed that all the designs were to work together as a collection using the same colours materials and textures. The concept was to use the bridesmaid's dress fabric within the designs. The bride & groom gave away custom made bottle stoppers to their guests. The bottle stoppers encapsulate hearts cut from the dress fabric. At the centre of the bottle stoppers the initials of the couple were written in gold with gold leaf in the background.
