Poetry plate (water in the eyes)

Made in haste
But never forgotten
I’ll not be drowning today

Ceramic Island House Necklace with Silver Chain
These adorable necklaces are inspired by the houses on the West Coast islands. We have spent a lot of family holidays on the islands over the years and they have such happy memories for us.
Each house is carefully made by hand out of clay, and a small wire loop is pressed into the wet clay. Once it is dry it is fired in a kiln, glazed and then fired again.
The necklaces each come packaged beautifully with a hand painted watercolour background and band on the cardboard box, making it a lovely gift.
