Katherine and Abby of Golden Ink Collaborative are sharing the process behind their new range of works, and have generously offered to giveaway one of their necklaces and bangles to two lucky readers!

Some of Golden Ink's brand new range!
As of late Katherine and I have been studiously working on a new series of ceramic home-wares and jewellery. We will be giving two of these pieces away! Keep reading for details...
For this new series we wanted to work on a concept that tied my printmaking background and knowledge together with Katherine's more fluid and sculptural approach. Based on this concept we have created a way of using and creating specially hand carved printing plates to emboss the surface of our ceramic forms.
The early stages of creating Golden Ink pieces
The methods we have used in this series creates very tactile and sumptuous bespoke pieces. Another aesthetic we have bought to the pieces and explored was a more painterly one; to aid in our philosophy of creating one-off pieces, and to make visible our makers marks. Our new series of work brings bright splashes of colour via a fluid water-colour like effect.
You could win one of these! Just leave a comment before 10pm on Thursday to go in the draw to win!
These two elements combined have shaped our new body of work. Our bright spring pieces will be available shortly BUT two lucky readers will get the chance to win one of two special pieces before they are released.
We have recently released Season 2 of our our new watercolour range in our store, available here.
Other recent work ventures include exhibition work 'Places and Spaces' at Cudgegong Gallery in regional NSW.

Just simply stunning! Beautiful spring colour palett set against white really makes those embossed surface pattern pop!!
Lovely pieces – love the hand-carved shapes and colour palette!
Love!
wow! these are incredibly beautiful pieces! big fan x
so so beautiful!the new series is really gorgeous!
These have become some of my favorite things. I love how they are as clean and simple as bone with hints of soft color. They almost remind of something you could find along the sea shore, like a piece of drift wood. They are really amazing and special. ::a::
The painstaking effort that goes into all that carving amazes me. It really pays off though, some really beautiful pieces here!!
Can I just say I want every single piece of jewellery on this site?
Love the happy colours and ceramic textures.
Girls, you inspire me so much x
Very excited to see the homewares range! We have loads of weddings coming up, and I love giving a nice piece of ceramicky-goodness (a vase, a bowl…) for weddings.
I have just fallen in love with every single piece… And not just for myself! My best friend would adore the soft pastels in the ceramic jewellery.. my sister is going to love the hand carved plates as her Christmas present.. and for me? Everything! :)
Beautiful work. Love it.
Just gorgeous; refreshingly unique pieces which I would definitely love to wear.
The watercolour earrings are so beautiful
