A new 'Lepus Alba' plaque up in my shop. Number 34 in an open-ended series, this cold-cast bronze piece is an exact replica of one of my original slate carvings (22.5 x 11 cm).

Another rock art pendant from the last collection I made. Measuring 4.6 x 2 cm, this was hand carved from a stone I found at the confluence of two Scottish Borders rivers. Finished with liquid gold leaf and assembled using a weathered copper jump ring, and waxed cotton cord.

More new stock arrivals in the last couple of weeks including lots of new stickers from the wonderful StickerShop! I'm actually going to have to re-order many more as most of these have gone now after some large orders from Kilmartin Museum (Argyll & Bute), Govan Stones Museum (Glasgow) and Rathcroghan Visitor Centre (Co. Roscommon, Ireland).

After a bit of cajoling from the lovely folk at Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, I now have my 'Cù-sìth' design available as a greeting card (and not just a die-cut sticker)!
Printed on 300 gsm recycled card by the amazing Pennybatch Gallery (with a recycled Eco Kraft envelope and compostable cellophane bag). These are now available at Rathcroghan and direct from me (link in profile).

Tea towels unboxing! The first of three big re-stocks arrived last week with this box of 50 tea towels from the fabric printers I use. Perfect and amazing quality once again :)
In addition to topping up my own stock, these stag/horse/hound/cat/hare tea towels will be part of larger orders going to Dumfries Museum, Govan Stones Museum (Glasgow) and Rathcroghan Visitor Centre (Co. Roscommon, Ireland).

New/old stock. I was having a long overdue clear-out of my workshop and found many pieces I'd made that had never seen the light of day! These include brick candle holders and hand carved slate cheese/serving/charcuterie boards.
If you'd like any of these (and there are many more than featured in the image), drop me a message as I'm offering them at much reduced prices (or you can find them listed on the well known online auction site).

Eight bindrune pendants finished with liquid gold-leaf. A commission from a customer in the US, I made these from stones gathered on the coast of southern England. Each stone is around 4 cm high, the bindrune is 2.5 cm high. Individually hand carved using 0.9 mm and needle-point diamond burrs.
