This piece conveys the ravaging of the world, controlled by the powers that be. The world is half apple, and is being devoured; the bounty of which falls into the glass for the use of one. It is held up by the beliefs of mankind, controlling the usage. Whilst the world is ravaged by mankind, the universe awaits its destruction to utilise the remnants to make new worlds; and so the cycle continues.

These wiggly heads are all about fun and self-validation. I do lots of fun quotes and these make unusual but great gifts for all ages and tastes

Chinese ‘love’ and ‘year of the monkey’

My birth year is the year of the monkey, hence why Adam calls me his ‘cheeky chimp’, and the other symbol speaks for itself. These are just a couple of examples of what i offer, as any symbol [even arabic] is within my ability

Like many, i adore Celtic Art, so i adapted it to suit myself. The clocks are something i enjoy doing immensely, and i rarely repeat a design, so clients end up with something unique and tasteful, with the knowledge that no one else has one

For those of you who know anything about the ancient Celts, you’ll know they were obsessed with the sun, as indicated in many pieces of Celtic Art. The sun was a symbol of life, fertility and growth to the Celts, and they spent much of their time focussing on the cycle of the sun [although we now know that it is the earth which revolves around the sun and not vice-versa], and the seasonal fruits its presence bore-hence why we have the Celtic sun-wheel motifs

This is the Celtic goddess Bloddeuwedd. The ancient Celts revered nature; that is why all of their deities are the embodiment of every aspect of nature. Essentially, their gods are tangible; [i.e. Teutates is the water, hence why warriors on the Gundestrup Cauldron were depicted being dunked head first into water]. In this instance, Bloddeuwedd is the very essence of the 9 Primroses, the moon and her totem animal is the owl
