Inspiration for my Mini Daisy Pendant
I am very fortunate to have a mature cottage garden, full of flowers of all types. When designing my first bumblebee ring, the image that kept popping into my mind was of the bees buzzing in and out of the oxeye daisies in my garden. And so they naturally came into my collection, initially by way of the bumblebee and daisy ring. The ring design came down to a choice of modelling a large bee from scratch – or modelling a large daisy for my little bee to sit on. I wasn’t brave enough then to tackle a large bee – and so the bee and daisy collection was born. Of course, as soon as the ring was finished – a whole collection of bee and daisy themed jewellery emerged, this delicate mini daisy pendant being one of them.
The mix of bees and daisies has been a popular marriage, which now includes a range of larger Queen Bees and Daisies, including my Queen Bumblebee and Daisy Necklace. But I also have many admirers of the daisies for the daisies sake – and not simply to accompany a bee. Of course, if you did want to match this necklace with a pair of bumblebee earrings, no-one would stop you!
