Star Wars Themed Coasters

We’re loving how these first few Star Wars themed coasters have turned out. After our beautiful sugar skull design coasters were so well received we kicked off the Star Wars theme with a Day of the Dead inspired Storm Trooper. With a the new movie Rogue One on the way, we though why not etch a few classic Star Wars related images and make a set of coasters?

We think they’re looking pretty awesome!

Currently, we’ve only etched two classics, the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon. We’ll be adding a Tie Fighter and X-Wing any day now! When completed, this set of four classic ships will look amazing. We’ll be adding new photos as soon as we can, so keep checking!

Like all our other coaster designs, these are etched in solid copper and backed with cork. Not only beautiful to look at, but practical too! At 10 cm square they’re large enough to handle just about any cup or mug.

They will be available very soon, both here and in our Etsy store. If you wish to pre-order or commission a particular design, please get in touch via the ‘Contact’ link.

Sugar Skull Designs – Day of the Dead

Sugar Skull

Sugar Skull – Day of the Dead – Día de los Muertos

The Day of the Dead is a holiday for remembering those who have passed. A festive time of celebration. Dia de los Muertos is celebrated throughout Mexico, but other countries celebrate versions of Day of the Dead for honouring their dead too. Celebrated in Central and South America, Europe and Asia, the holiday is observed according to their own local customs and incorporating their own sugar skull designs.

Day of the Dead is also particularly popular in California, Texas, Arizona and other parts of the United States.

Many people around the world, even if they are not directly connected to Mexican culture, are drawn to the concept and imagery of Mexico’s Day of the Dead. This holiday gains popularity as more people learn about it. It’s not surprising as so many of the beautiful designs associated with the celebrations feature such amazing artwork.

Since we made our first sugar skull key ring I’ve been wanting to make more similar designs. We followed the keyrings up with a beautiful bookmark design, but our latest set of coasters are simply amazing!

Four handmade etched copper coasters, featuring stunning sugar skulls make up this amazing Day of the Dead themed set. Each drink mat features a different sugar skull design meaning everyone can have ‘their’ coaster! We’ll be adding more Day of the Dead pieces in the very near future. This will include some amazing animal sugar skull designs and other themed sets. As with all our designs, you can add your own personal touch with the inclusion of a name or message.

We love custom orders, so please contact us to discuss the perfect bespoke gift. There’s no extra charge for most personal touches unless it is particularly time consuming, so why not make a unique gift just for you?

Sterling Silver Bar Bracelet

I’ve been so excited about seeing this amazing bracelet finished for some time now, and it was well worth the wait!

Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway –  John Wayne

All her designs are ‘one off’ pieces and the one you see here is the very one you’ll get should you decide you simply can’t resist it. You can of course commission your very own piece so please get in touch for a unique chance to have a stunning piece of jewellery made to your own design.

Personalised Jewellery

We’re so excited to finally get this men’s copper hand stamped quote bracelet finished and already looking forward to getting many more similar designs on-line shortly.

Although we’re very much marketing this one as a men’s design, it’s absolutely perfect for anyone. A mixed metal one will be the next one out of the workshop, with sterling silver finishings and indeed the whole design can also be recreated in solid sterling silver.

What I love the most about this particular design is the amount of text that will fit on it. Using 1.5 mm upper case characters, we are able to place around 80 individual letters/numbers that are neat and easy to read. This allows for quite a long quote, favourite song lyrics or a number of names, dates, etc., to be added. This definitely makes for a stunning personalised gift or a treat for yourself!

Considering we’re lucky enough to be based on the beautiful coastline of the Moray Firth, it’s only right we should be adding some Scottish themed gift designs at last.

We’ve got plenty of design ideas for Scottish gifts with Scotland inspired images, but for starters we’ve added a beautifully detailed dragon and saltire, etched copper money clip. Etched initials can be added to the front or rear of this design to make the perfect personalised gift. Click the image for full details!
