About Bluebird Designs NI

Bluebird Designs NI

I am a wood turner who also creates with polymer clay.

I live on the shores of Strangford Lough in County Down, Northern Ireland. I have been creating polymer clay jewellery for ten years and have been wood turning for six years.

I love the colours and versatility of polymer clay, and the different techniques that can be used to create so many different patterns, with real visual impact. I create pendants, bracelets and earrings.

When it comes to wood, I love the grain and patterns that can be found naturally occurring in wood, and bringing that out through turning the wood on a lathe. I aim to use recycled wood wherever possible, and love creating something out of old timber, logs, scrap wood. When turning logs, I like to leave some of the bark as it adds so much more character. I don't discard wood which has split, instead I will make a feature out of the split.

I have experimented with combining polymer clay and wood, using clay as an inlay for wood bowls

I love really small cute things, so I started turning miniature vases which are only a few centimetres in height. As a perfect accompaniment, I decided to use my polymer clay to make flowers for the vases. These vases with flowers are a perfect partnership, and a perfect gift.

Buying from me

I have been wood turning for five years, and love creating bowls and vases, especially from reclaimed wood. I love creating pieces in miniature.

All jewellery items are handmade by myself. Using different polymer clay techniques, I create beautiful and unique pendants, earrings and brooches

I will post most items of jewellery within three days of receiving the order. Wooden vases are made to order so will take longer, please allow five days for delivery.
