Wave and Shore Commission

Design ideas 

'Wave and Shore' - A recent commission created by recycling a customer's old gold. I made the background ring and tiny individual 'pebbles' from yellow gold, the wave from white gold and inlaid it with Cornish Tin.

My study of waves began during my artist residency at the Levant Mine on the Cornish coast. As I was being constantly pelted with rain and sprayed by the sea, drawing and painting the waves was out of the question as the paper turned to mush in my hands, so I took to 'drawing' the waves with wire instead.

Wire - the waterproof alternative 

This August I will be heading back down to the Cornish coast as I will be demonstrating my work in Cornish Tin at the Levant Mine. Full details are on my website: www.ericasharpe.co.uk
