Mark Shields loves animals, plants, and crafting small, detailed items out of silver

The Virginia Beach silversmith’s recently opened shop, The Sterling Pelican, offers handcrafted jewelry and Christmas tree ornaments that reflect his interest in plants, animals and the region He crafts intricately designed dogs, dolphins, lotuses, out of silver, then fashions them into earrings, necklaces, and other small ornamental objects

Being a silversmith, Shields said, “requires a sense of style for the curves and graceful lines Silver is also interesting, and there should be a sense of flair”

Shields, a Yorktown native, was a young college graduate in 1970 when he decided to take a job as an apprentice silversmith in Colonial Williamsburg “I wanted to do something with my hands,” he said, “and I’d always been interested in art”

He served a seven-year apprenticeship, learning to make sterling silver bowls, gravy pots, and coffee pots He now primarily designs jewelry and other small items because changing lifestyles and tastes have decreased the demand for silver tableware

“For the past 25 years, I’ve created designs, and mostly wholesaled them to other shops,” Shields said He also does oil paintings, but he said that he’s particularly attracted to working with silver

“It’s fine, detailed work, but it’s done with simple tools, such as hammers and pliers” he said “I buy the silver from metal distributors and design it so that each piece is unique. chanel replica shoes “

“His work is simple and expressive, and has a lot of personality,” said Chesapeake resident Bob Garrett, who has taken art classes with Shields. (Fashion bracelets).

“He’s a Renaissance guy,” said Shields’ wife, Ritchie Gregory, a photographer who is opening her own shop, Photos in the Sand, next to The Sterling Pelican “He also does paintings and wax carvings”

Some of the items in the shop that are unique to the local area include the Sandbridge cross, which is a silver miniature of the cross that adorns Sandbridge Community Chapel, complete with the characteristic conch shell in the center Shields also designs and sells earrings shaped like dolphins

The shop also includes handcrafted items from about 30 other craftsmen across the United States The prices range from about $60 for heavier silver bracelets to $12. (Pandora Necklace Charm). 50 for ankle bracelets

Jewellery created on the dream farm

Lesley Ross always wanted to make jewellery, but with four children she never had the time. (Plating Bracelet). Her opportunity came after the youngest left home

Lesley enrolled in evening classes at Truro College and started living her dream of shining silver rings and bracelets. chanel handbags 2010

“I panicked that having always wanted to do it, I’d find I was useless at it,” she laughed. gucci belt bag . (Tiffany Jewelry). “But it was all right The minute I started, I absolutely loved it My problem is that I have too many ideas”

The 53-year-old now has her own set of equipment for working with precious metals, which she does from a converted area on the family’s new small-holding near Helston “I love doing commissions,” she said “People tell you what they want and you think, hmm, that sounds odd, but then it works out well in the end. fake gucci shoes “

Texture is Lesley’s passion She dimples the surface of her chunky silver rings and bracelets with different shaped hammers to bring an undulating quality to the metal

“I’ll work the design into the texture,” she said “For instance, if I use a square hammer which looks geometrical, I’ll make a linear design to compliment it

“I love piecing it all together I’ll make a blank ring and think: ‘How am I going to decorate this?’ I use little bits of gold and silver, and then I move and shift things around until they work”

Lesley is determined to put in the hard work to give her pieces, which range from Pounds 17-Pounds 120, a good finish “Some handmade stuff is rough and badly finished,” she said “I think it must be smooth and well finished

“I love watching people wearing my work Sometimes if I go to a craft fair, people will come over wearing my jewellery I love seeing it on people, and hearing about how they’re enjoying it People get a lot of pleasure out of jewellery, especially if it has a story”

Lesley’s family moved to Cornwall from Surrey six years ago, and are enjoying it hugely On their smallholding they are raising sheep, chickens and rare breed pigs, which even featured on an episode Monty Don’s My Dream Farm

But it’s the jewellery that Lesley wants to showcase this month by joining Cornwall Open Studios from May 29-June 6. (Tungent pendant). For more information, visit her website lesleyrossjewellery

African adventure

Gasping for air in the glistening infinity pool of Kenya’s Mnarani Beach Club, I decided clear scuba diving was not my bag

Unable to get a mouthpiece between my lips without gagging, there was little hope of going under the water – let alone “diving” in the Indian Ocean off Kilifi creek, near Mombasa

Relaxing poolside with a gin and tonic in the 35C heat – in early December – would be my concession to the waves

Or, so I dreamed for a few seconds as a childhood fear of the water got the better of me

I was in Kenya as a watersports virgin keen to dip my paddle for the first time

Watersports Neilson, an operator specialising in winter and watersports holidays, found an absolute gem with the Mnarani. chanel charm bracelet

The three-star hotel, 50km north of Mombasa, is an idyllic beachside retreat – complete with sailing, diving, windsurfing, canoeing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, snorkelling and mountain biking

Every sport is on offer for the experienced and, like me, the totally inexperienced. (Hermes). But it wouldn’t always be like that as my introductory pool session continued

Tim Nderito-Rendell, Buccaneer Diving School manager, based on the hotel’s beach, didn’t seem too worried

Eventually, after learning the rudiments, I was chugging out to sea and nervously thinking what to do if I lost my airpipe or got a mask full of the ocean’s turquoise finest

We sailed out to Bofa Lagoon

It seemed in the middle of the Indian Ocean, but was only 20 minutes out and, thank God, only seven or eight metres deep

I held the anchor chain as Tim reassured me and monitored my descent Calming down, I was privy to the hidden world of the sea bed

I saw wrass, chocolate dips, lion fish, seaslugs, golden leaf fish and plenty more as well as a carnival of coral, psychedelic in its colours

There are 4,600 species of fish living in Kenya’s diving waters – the Red Sea has half that and the Caribbean just a quarter And the coral is intact and untouched, like so much of Kilifi

Fifty minutes exploring the seabed passed in a flash of neon fishes amid the bubbly, veg-like coral, and I emerged from the water feeling elated that I’d overcome my fears

After lunch on the Mnarani’s secluded and private sandy cove beach bar – where I could have lazed for days – it was time for dinghy sailing

Sailing I had notions of Gucci deck shoes, pristine white linen trousers, a cap and a pastel jumper tied round my shoulders as I commanded the seas with a drink in my hand But sailing involves muscles and learning to capsize as I learnt with a splash

In a new three-man Laser Bahia dinghy, Neilson resort manager Jo Roberts had me criss-crossing the creek for an hour, learning to tack and gyb – turning up and down wind – and learning to say: “A flappy sail is not a happy sail”

Despite no experience of sailing, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it – and what I learned in a short period

Neilson includes Royal Yachting Association tuition and courses whether you’re a novice aiming for your RYA level one certificate or an expert working on performance sailing

I also sampled Kilifi’s windsurfing, yet another debut The tuition was excellent with a bit of theory to reinforce the practical An hour of wobbling was punctuated by shouts of “I’ve got it!” before another headfirst plunge

After the watersports the Mnarani is an ideal place to sit, eat, drink and talk The hotel’s excellent food was plentiful, varied and very tasty. (Marc Jacobs).

Entertainment Most nights entertainment is provided too – I especially enjoyed the Mozambique Boys, a group of acrobats from Kilifi with the kind of talent that would win any of Britain’s prime- time shows

For one meal at Kilifi Boatyard, we rode on mountain bikes through shanty villages Kenya is achingly poor, and we cycled through sandy alleys where communities existed in ramshackle huts

Our 10km bike ride took 40 minutes The lazier option, a tuk tuk – a motorised rickshaw – costs about 1,000 shillings (Pounds for a return trip

After lunch I kayaked against the current and wind, 3km back to the hotel At last, I had found something at which I seemed to excel. (3.1 Phillip Lim).

I loved the feel of the sun burning my arms as I fought against the water – muscles in my back and shoulders introducing themselves to me for the first time

Renewed and feeling proud I relaxed in my room before heading off to see out the afternoon in the infinity pool

Worries of the world vanished as I rested my chin in the edge of the pool and gazed out at the ocean, the dhows coming back from a day’s fishing, their stained sails billowing against a backdrop of hillside houses. Replica Handbags

The creek is dotted with large, handsome homes – owned by rich Kenyans and ex-pats. louis vuitton belt The hotel, South African owned, was originally bought by Lord Delamere nearly 100 years ago and was an English officer’ club

For us, one great African adventure still remained We left Kilifi to go on safari in Tsavo East national park

We stayed at the luxurious Galdessa camp on the Galana river As well as seeing an array of animals – the highlight was two cheetahs – Galdessa looks out onto the Yatta Plateau – the world’s oldest fossilised lava flow
