A few years ago I took a close up photograph of some rather beautiful lichen on a boulder in the Scottish Highlands… through a developed process I changed the colours and learnt how to transfer this lovely intricately detailed design onto boxes, and so I now produce some unique memory, jewellery and treasure boxes. Some… Continue reading I’m making rather a lot of my Highland lichen design treasure and memory boxes at the moment!

Over the years… Continue reading My work for Border Fine Arts & other figurine manufacturing companies…
