Welcome to Woodland Treasures
I have been designing and making hand carved wooden jewellery since November 2003, using mostly salvaged or recycled British hardwoods.
My work continually evolves, so the collection includes over one hundred designs of earrings, brooches, kilt pins, necklaces, combs and pendants. All work is fret sawn to shape and then individually carved by hand using super sharp knives and needle files. Finally, each piece is brought to a fine finish and treated with natural, solvent-free plant oils to protect the surface and enhance the grain and colour.
My inspiration comes mostly from the natural world and its many forms. I find myself both moved and inspired by my love of nature, trees and wood, the richness of the colours, textures and patterns in the grain. I am also influenced by art nouveau, mythology and Celtic/Pictish designs.
I am happy to undertake commissions for special one-off pieces, designed and crafted according to your personal wishes.
