Meet the maker linda jones

hello :)

... i work from my home while looking after the various and numerous demands from my gorgeous twin girls issie and em!



i split my work time between graphic design and working with precious metals to create beautiful pieces of individual jewellery.



i love to work with metal and beauty to me is usually something that shows signs of wear or distress... think rusty metal and old flaking faded paintwork and you'll get an idea of my inspirations



i often leave the gold or silver slightly dirty looking or oxidised and contrast this against highly polished areas within the design... visible tool marks are a key feature of my work... many of my ideas come from man made elements distressed by nature combined with urban elements distressed by time

you can find out more about me and the other crafts i love at my blog stripeymonkey.blogspot.com
