The Bua Collection

Irish winds once swept through
This slate a rooftop graced
Now it floats around your neck
Painted pieces interlaced

  The meaning of the Irish word bua is 'victory,triumph, talent, virtue or special quality'. Coincidentally it is my maiden name. Hence I thought it was the perfect name for this collection. The Bua Collection is influenced by my years living in Dublin, international travel, and my passion for handmade knits.  The slate pieces featured in some of my eclectic accessories are recycled from Irish rooftops, each individually hand painted.

The Fine Knit Jewellery Collection

Gossamer threads of glossy haze
Wind their way through their maze
From ‘round the world a perfect fit
Yarns tell stories when they’re knit

This group incorporates beautiful yarns either knitted or crocheted.  They sometimes stand alone or are combined with lovely ctystals, glass beads or other interesting pieces that inspire me.
