New work by Hannah Louise Lamb

 

Beautiful new work just in by Hannah Louise Lamb Jewellery.  Hannah has kindly designed an exclusive ring for the gallery, similar to her popular coast ring.  This one uses the horizon of the surrounding mountains around Newtonmore, including Creag Dubh to create a continuous line.  The two rings fit together - one matt and one shiny creating a lovely contrast.  At the moment only two of these ring sets exist in different sizes which makes them pretty much a unique present for someone special!  I have still to photograph the rings with the mountains behind but for now they are situated on the top shelf of the cabinet at eye level for customers to admire the detail.

Commissioning for christmas

If you'd like to give someone something unique and personal for Christmas; how about a wire picture created from your kids drawing! Usually kids drawings can fade when left out in the daylight, they dry up and become crinkled then they have to be put away in a drawer for ever more.  I know how special these pictures are, our house has a large bundle of pictures that will never be thrown out and would benefit from a nice display.
This picture was drawn by my son Sam and is called Granny's House, it is exactly like the drawing apart from the fact that I chose to not include some of the background as the wire would have become invisible. It's a special picture and I still love looking at it, it has the extra benefit that it will never fade!

Corrour Bothy at Lairig Ghru

Corrour Bothy is arguably Scotland's most popular bothy as it's location is on the Lairig Ghru route.  A cute wee house that was enjoyable to make.  I've used ironwire, hand printed paper and handmade paper to create this picture and am just about to get it made into coasters.

Changes at the gallery

I've been making a few changes in the gallery to prepare for new stock coming this Autumn on the run up to Christmas.  Along with new pictures of my own, I'll be exhibiting work of new and established makers after the holidays so keep an eye out for news on this blog!

This lovely bobble hat has been lovingly handknitted by Fiona Young from Laggan.  The wool is 2-ply Shetland wool handspun by Fiona's daughter which makes it extra special
