CLARE COLLINSON

​jeweller / gemydd

Mandy Nash
As a little girl, I loved being read bedtime stories and my favourite books were those that had been passed down and read so many times the pages were tatty and worn. My 'Fable' range of jewellery is inspired by fairy tales and storytelling; by setting familiar lines of stories in pieces of jewellery, the wearer can then create a story or fairy tale of their own…’I like to capture a moment by setting words in resin, almost like catching a memory. Recently I have created a new range 'Silhouette' using a digital cutting tool to create silhouettes of animals which are set against typed words in resin and silver. Inspiration for my work is drawn from stories, illustrations, lino prints, type fonts and the many doodles and drawings that I have collected in my sketchbooks over the years.

Fel merch fach, roeddwn i wrth fy modd ar straeon amser gwely a fy hoff lyfrau oedd y rhai oedd wedi dod o law i law ac wedi cael eu darllen gymaint o weithiau bod y tudalennau’n garpiog. Ces I fy ysbrydoli i greu fy nghasgliad o emwaith “Chwedlau” gan straeon tylwyth teg gan osod llinellau cyfarwydd o storiau mewn gemwaith. Wedyn, gall y gwisgwr greu chwedl eu hun. Hoffwn ddal eiliad wrth osod geiriau mewn resin, bron fel dal y cof. Yn ddiweddar, rwyf wedi creu casgliad newydd “Silwét” gan ddefnyddio teclyn torri digidol i greu silwetau anifeiliaid. Rwy'n eu gosod gyferbyn geiriau mewn resin ac arian. Mae ysbrydoliaeth ar gyfer fy ngwaith yn dod o straeon, darluniau, printiau leino, ffont teipio a'r lluniau a darlunio yn fy llyfr braslunio yr wyf wedi casglu dros y blynyddoedd.
