Jewellery By Shalini

I am feeling rather pleased with myself at how these little, lightweight aluminium wire trees are turning out :-) What do you think? I also think they will make great Christmas Gifts and can be made to order in stones of your choice. Commissions and bespoke orders are VERY welcome! Decorative Jasper Wire Tree Sculpture - Shalini Austin Designs… hand-crafted for YOU!

It's been a cold winter and Dave and I found it a bit difficult to go out into the Lapidary Workshop. One, it was a bit (well a lot!) cold out there and two, part of the workshop was used as storage area for the extra wood we acquired to keep the open fire going through the cold weather. After all the excitement of the Christmas Market was over we felt a little lost. The workshop was too cold and the television was boring. So Dave went looking for ideas on what else we could do. Everyone knows about my obsession with wire :-) and we always have plenty in the house. And thanks to my friend Amanda from Greensleaves Florist I had some lovely coloured craft wire as well! Dave had been making a few simple Gem trees with wire and Tumblestones and he found this fantastic website about Beaded and Wire Tree Sculptures End result... we are now having so much fun making Wire Tree Sculptures of different types. I have added the first few wire creations we have made to the Jewellery By Sh...

I have just added a range of Wire Trees to my Online Showroom -  Do come and have a nose - Wire Sculptures This is a new project we started working on in the days when it was too cold to work in the workshop and we are hooked :-)
