Adrian Baird Ba Than : Jewellery and Designs





































Deborah Cameron : Painter



"Painting has always been an important part of my life. For over 20 years I lived in the Outer Hebrides and the quality of light, huge skies and constant presence of the sea still fascinate me and influence much of my work although I will paint anything that captures my interest. In 2003 I moved to Edinburgh and rented a studio so that I could paint full time. Then, in 2005 I held my first,very successful, solo exhibition entitled Wide Angle. Following that in 2006 I had work accepted for the Aspect Prize Exhibition and by the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art. In October 2007 I was part of a successful 3 man show at the Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh."

"I am a very lucky person, I am surrounded by amazing talent and this website is a testament to that talent. How could you not be inspired??
I am firm believer that if you have the will and a little inspiration you can make anything yourself. You don't need to buy a logo or spend a fortune to bring together style and a little class. I started making jewellery for family and friends a couple of years ago and through their support I am still creating pieces today. All the pieces I design are dress pieces and there is something for every occasion. I use a number of materials, including nylon coated wire, glass beads, Swarovski crystals, ceramic beads, silver or gold plated components and ribbon. If you have a wedding or an event that you are looking for something that bit different take a look at my images."
