Description
I’m working my way through the book ” An Irish Word a Day” by Hector O hEochagáin, some of the words are beautiful some of them are silly, all are worth learning. So that’s my challenge for the year, to turn each word into a piece of jewellery. Follow along on instagram, facebook and tiktok to see what words I’m doing each day.
I do have other Clocha teanga in Irish and Cerrig iaith in Welsh, language stones in English, each piece is made from recycled sterling silver which is melted and rolled and stamped by hand making each piece different. I will be doing all sorts of interesting words in the languages so please let me know your favourite!
My language stones are made by recycling my sterling silver left over from other projects, part of my effort to reduce waste!
Januarys words are, I have made a few rings it is indicated where appropriate, I have put the weight of each pendant besides it to help get across dimensions, feel free to contact me if you want more details.
