An exquisite collection of hallmarked sterling silver wildlife by artist Sophie Mackrell.
Her love of eastern and oriental art forms drew her to the ancient art of origami - the Japanese skill of folding paper to make recognisable forms. She wondered if this technique could be adapted to create shapes cast in precious metals.
Whilst experimenting, it became apparent that wildlife forms worked especially well, and using silver created these miniature designs inspired by the natural world around us.
Each piece sparkles and shines as the facets and folds dance in the light much like a beautifully cut precious stone. Highly collectable small silver figurines, the eye catching miniatures feel weighty for their small size.
Each sculpture is presented in a high quality designer cloth pouch and gift bag, and then boxed. Also includes collection booklet.
