Magic Life Tree Ring
I have always thought of rings as something magical. When I made this ring I thought a lot about magic. I imagined this would be something a Magical Japanese Princess might wear in ancient times. I hand-wrought it from scratch from bronze using timeless metal crafting techniques. I called it ‘The Magic Life Tree Ring’.

Night Garden Story Bangle
The idea behind ‘Story Bangles’ is to create one of a kind art bangles which have stories to tell.
The story this bangle tells is of being in a fragrant garden at night just before dawn, the moment between waking and dreams.
I hand forged this bangle from scratch from a thick piece of pure copper using timeless metal crafting techniques.
It is meticulously hand-adorned with beautiful jewel colored very detailed art works all the way around.
Rich indigo, teal, blues, green with splashes of reds and gold. An heirloom quality piece. No other like it in the world.

Happy Hearts are evolving…
I’ve started using a new method to create Happy Hearts, using hand-printing and low-fire enamels, as well as the original methods. I’m really pleased with the results.

Berlin Etsy Headquarters
Last night I was invited to the Berlin Etsy Headquarters for a Christmas gathering. I got to meet a lot of wonderful Etsy people, crafters and artists and business people. And also I got to show off some Pippa Tree creations.
It was so much fun and exciting to feel so much at the hub of things. What a truly great company Etsy is, and now I can put some faces to the company I’m even more enamored.
Of course, today I’m full of inspiration! Will be posting photos of new creations soon.
Berlin - full of amazing design, art and craft.

Healing Hearts
How happy I am that the amazing Danielle Hayes (Psychotherapist, LCSW) is giving Pippa Tree ‘Happy Hearts’ as a gift to some of her clients. It makes me joyful to know that the hearts might be a small part of her clients’ healing journey.
Happy Hearts were, after all, created with the idea of spreading love and healing.
