Fibre arts inspired jewellry
July 28, 2011
A few pieces of weaving and spinning related jewellry -
The silver (needs polishing) shuttle was a special order hand-made by a local Salt Spring Island silversmith for guild members. Unfortunately I cannot remember nor read the stamp of who it was and don’t want to get the name wrong. The wooden shuttle earrings I bought at a weaving conference – again I have no idea of who made them. The pendant is from the Guild of Canadian Weavers, the colourful pin is by Sheila O’Hara and the spinning wheel was from Louet.
I also have a Complex Weavers pin – somewhere…

I’m pretty sure those wooden shuttle earrings are from Glimakra ( as in the village in Sweden) I was sent a gift of a pair by a Swedish friend who lived in Lund.
I think we’re drawn to to fibre related ‘bling’ like magpies!

my fave: the earrings. and i’m not an earring woman
you go with your old indigo pot!
ever since i discovered that you can use the remains at the bottom i’ve been trying out all sorts of things.i’m under the impression the colorsomewhat deepens with time
I bought the little wooden shuttle, though I got one on a keychain, at the Vav booth at Convergence last year. I wish I knew where I could get more so if you do find out, let me know please.
They’re wonderful! The closest I have is bunny earrings and a sheep pin. Love what you found.
Beautiful little trinkets. Thanks for sharing!
