Andy Warhol:

'Jewellery doesn't make a person more beautiful,
it makes a person feel more beautiful'

Special Edition Tourmaline featuring sort after Watermelon cut

1 Muse or 2?

The Artist had a muse once
From which to draw from and lend
Who proclaimed unconditional love
A supposed best friend

Oh how they roared with laughter
As they played the best out of life
Singing, drinking and dancing
Until the early morning sunlight

But the muse had a secret life
And stole what was required
Then fled when life got tough
Leaving the artist drained and tired

So who was really the muse?
And how can one still preach
Unconditional love
Of a friendship now ceased

My own musings...

I would rather be the sweetest most divine violet fragrance crushed but forgiving than the heartless and arrogant one who not only crushed it, but boasted as well!

Some old gems from 2006!

    My photo
    Melinda Mulcahy
    South Wales, United Kingdom
    A full time Designer/Maker, Australian born, now living and working in my adoptive country Wales, UK since 1993. I worked predominately in advertising until studying jewellery making in 2003 hence changed my life. Influenced by childhood memories growing up around Sydney's beautiful sunny shores and my frequent travels abroad where I absorb new cultures. I have a compelling passion for luxury, high fashion, but above all quality of craftmanship. This blog was initially just a place to exhibit new works, but has become my alter-ego! By reading on, perhaps you will appreciate there is more underpinning a handmade product than just it's visual presence. These creations are snippets in time of my heart, soul, and energy captured, which I hope to communicate in every piece, with a dusting of sparkles and love. Thank you for taking the time view my life's work. Melinda x
