When Shetlander Roy Leask appeared in my workshop carrying a Viking shield, sword and axe, I knew this was going to be no ordinary day! I was delighted to be approached by Roy back in 2007 about designing a collection of jewellery to commemorate the 2008 Up Helly Aa festival in Shetland. I was lucky enough to be invited to the celebrations which take place on the last Tuesday of January every year. A truly amazing spectacle!

The daisy is one of my favourite flowers and I chose them for my wedding dress and bouquet. I took inspiration from my late husband Rick's 'Daisies at Dawn' photograph to design this collection.

I'm fascinated by the power, colour and movement of the sea. My earliest drawings of the shoreline near my childhood home gained my a place at Edinburgh College of Art. I still return to the shoreline for inspiration when the light is special. These pieces were inspired by wonderful waves I saw off the Caithiness coast in Scotland at Dunnet Head.

The wild shorelines of Orkney and north Scotland have lovely marram grasses which sweep from side to side in the sea breeze. This inspired me to create a delicate free flowing design with layered silver and enamel.
