                               Here is a little taster of some of the work I am exhibiting there

Pittenweem Arts Festival

August seem s a long way away now but here are some images of my exhibition at the Pittenweem Arts Festival this summer.

The 3d digital prints are by husband Mark Bannerman , have a look at his website

One of my new necklaces first exhibited at the festival using paper / resin, ceramic beach pebble, silver and photo etched silver.  £105 I am making some more for my next exhibition at the Whitehouse gallery in Kirkcudbright.

Necklaces using texture, paper with resin, stones, enamel, felt and beach pebbles.

Long silver necklace with enamel and beach pebble. This ceramic beach pebble deserved its own long chain to show it off. I made it for the Pittenweem Arts Festival 2009 and plan to do some similar for this year 2011.           £125

I started making silver chain necklaces with semi precious stones, this one is malachite azurite

£145   .  

Other variations on the theme, been making these necklaces for 3/4 years now and still finding ways to experiement and develop them.

Plans are afoot for new versions combining more materials and textures including other semi precious stones, felt, paper,enamel for example.
