White Hart Designs Origin and Inspiration

Hi there! I have been designing and making jewellery for over 24 years, having completed my 4 year Bachelor of Arts in Silversmithing with Honours in 1995 from the Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. In 2006 a "blinding flash of the obvious" hit me and I decided to combine jewellery with my love of horses and by extension now the whole family. I do believe jewellery is such a personal expression of who we are, and I'm very much a family kinda girl :)
I have 2 kids - both boys who also ride, 5 horses, 1 cat, 1 dog who gets called a horse all the time as she is an Irish Wolfhound .. lol

The last year and a half has been a tumultuous time, caused by the total loss in April 2013 of home, studio and all horse gear, over a lifetime of artworks and personal collections... from a house fire. 
Long story short, and a very busy 18 months, resulted in a relocation to NSW to the mid north coast, and a new studio in a well equipped granny flat on 25 acres near the beach. So I still work from home, and have my horses near. Looking out the window from the house or studio and seeing them is the best inspiration of all! When riding I love to trail ride to the beach, and play around with Working Equitation and Horseback Archery. Costuming is a fun part of that and so the creative process in making my own costumes was the inspiration to this new range.

Anyway, I am now open and making jewellery once again, PLUS I have developed a brand new business incorporation my metal skills with the new passion for leather, so here is the new Etsy page for my original and handmade quality leather wear for Horses, Dogs, and YOU!
