Meet the maker Sally McAdam

About Me
I'm Sally and I've been designing and making jewellery in the living room of my flat in Glasgow, much to my flatmate's annoyance, since 2006. I like to use bright colours and multiple layers of acrylic to make bright, unique jewellery.

I like: shiny things, comics, jumble sales, party rings, making a mess, tartan shirts, videogames, handstands and a really good cup of tea.

Making
I begin designing my jewellery by scribbling my ideas onto paper then turning my favourite ones into vectors using Inkscape. I then send these designs to be lasercut from bright 3mm acrylic sheets. When my newly cut shapes arrive I then glue the pieces together to form the final piece. Sometimes they don't quite work the first (or second, or even third!) time and I have to alter the vector drawing and have it re-cut. It's a great feeling when it all comes together though!
