It’s been a while in the making (hence the radio silence!), but here is my new design! I don’t think it’s a secret that I love being by the water and the sea and I really wanted to design something that captured that being by the water feeling. Hopefully, this will do it. Let me know what you think. Feedback always welcome. My new necklace and earrings to match are for sale in my shop; a brooch will also be coming soon and is available on back order.
Well, that’s it! Exhibition work has been submitted! (Pics below) I’ve had a sneaky peek at other artist’s work and it looks fab! So, if you still need some Christmas pressies, come and have a look. The Flameworks at Plymouth College of Art exhibition starts with a preview evening on Monday 9th December 6.30-8.30pm and then runs from Tuesday 10th – Friday 13th 8am-6pm. Look forward to seeing you there 🙂
…err, lots and lots of lighthouses! Or, as someone has pointed out given a certain recent anniversary…they could be Daleks! Perhaps I could adapt them… Anyway, wearing my fingers down gradually as the exhibition looms!
Gone off to be hallmarked now, then back for finishing off!
Christmas order done and dusted. Lots of flowers 🙂
Now I’m on to the next batch of work…more flowers and lots of lighthouses 🙂
I’m really excited to announce that my work has been selected for the Design to Sell Exhibition at the Plymouth College of Art. The exhibition, run by Flameworks, of which I am an associate member, will be taking place from 10th-13th December 2013, with an opening event on 9th December 2013. I am now beavering away trying to keep up with demand…more pics to follow as I meet the demand 🙂
Here it is!
My new lighthouse necklace – my own unique design made with sterling silver and enamel resin. My homage to Plymouth!
Available to buy in my shop – made to order for £45.
It’s been a while, but I have a fully functioning thumb now (following an injury in May!), which means I am well on the way with my first massive Christmas order! Consisting of lots of flower pins, earrings, necklaces and rings…I’ve also been busy experimenting with cold enamel, so have made some nice copper and red enamel heart (I can’t help but make them) earrings. I’ve also finished a fab necklace, which I will reveal soon…. In the meantime, here are some pics…
Here it is! My website – Alison Bendall Jewellery Designer!
As many of you will know, I have changed my jewellery making name from Funky Rocks to Alison Bendall Jewellery Designer.
When I first started out making gemstone and beaded items, the name Funky Rocks seemed to fit that style of jewellery. Now that I have progressed and predominantly design and make silver jewellery, the name Funky Rocks no longer reflects or describes the jewellery I make, hence the new name.
My website is the start of something bigger and better, so do keep checking in! New collections will be added soon and I will be showcasing friends’ work on the gallery section of the website.
In the meantime, I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all my supporters and customers.
