About Gracie J
 |
Hello, and welcome to my site.
I live in the Scottish Borders, right in the middle of no-where. Imagine; rolling hills, sheep-dotted fields, huge skies full of movement and colour - it truly is an inspiring part of the world. My surroundings, both day and night, are reflected in my work.
All my designs have a celestial theme – the sky here at night, without light-pollution, is literally over-crowded with stars and constellations hence; orbit, venus, moonrock. The beads I use are ceramic and either glazed or dipped in silver, copper or 24-carat gold and threaded onto finest quality leather. Each piece I make, by hand, here in the Borders.
We all enjoy receiving a beautifully presented gift and the felt I use to line my boxes creates something really special and unique. Most of the wool I use comes from my neighbour’s Jacobs Sheep (Jessie and Marigold). It is lovingly hand-felted to make these little works of art - an image of the incredible landscape and beautiful colours which I see every day. The perfect complement to my jewellery.
