Stainless steel and brass Half Persian 3 in 1 chainmaille bracelet
This brass and stainless steel chainmaille bracelet is a new piece in my jewellery range for men, using mixed metals. Rings of 16-gauge brass and stainless steel square wire are woven together in the Half Persian 3 in 1 chainmaille weave, and the bracelet closes with a large brass foldover clasp.

Stainless steel chainmaille keyring
A new addition to the line of chainmaille keyrings I'm developing - a European 4 in 1 diamond-shaped keyring in stainless steel. Lightweight, useful, handmade - and kinda cool, if I do say so myself ;-)
This keyring and its copper twin are amazingly tactile, important if you're someone like me who clearly needs worry beads but has to make do with a keyring instead!
Now for sale in my Etsy shop, soon to be added to my website:

Magic of Google Maps
I have just spent an amusing half hour or so populating this map. Hopefully, I will be able to get it to display below, but in case I can't make it work properly, do click on the link to see all the many and varied places my work has gone.
It highlights some interesting gaps. I clearly need to do more outside of Western Europe, the US and Canada. On the other hand, these are places where people are - even in the current economic climate - more likely to have disposable income for luxuries. So maybe it's not surprising. (Australia and NZ, no excuse, though...) A surprisingly large number of people who buy my work live in seaside towns. (Maybe a disposable income correlation there too, though.) A lot of people from Pennsylvania buy my work, compared to other places in the US. (Hello Pennsylvanians, do tell me more about your state. You clearly like well made handcrafted jewellery, but what else should I know about you?)
