Pastel candystripe pendant by Rowena Park.
The transparent coloured lacquers combined with gold leaf create the vibrant effects, which are then “viewed” through the acrylic layer. The clear acrylic enhances the jewel like quality of the combination of lacquers and gold leaf by focusing the light into the acrylic and bouncing off the coloured metallic layer.

About this Maker
About this Maker
Rowena Park has designed and made jewellery since leaving Brighton art college in 1982 and has continuously exhibited her work both locally and abroad.
She works with clear acrylic which is shaped and bent using grinders, saw cuts and polishing grits to achieve the basic shapes. Then through a many layered process, Rowena uses transparent coloured lacquers combined with almost pure gold leaf to create the vibrant effects, which are then “viewed” through the acrylic layer. The clear acrylic enhances the jewel-like quality of the combination of lacquers and gold leaf by focusing the light into the acrylic and bouncing it off from the now coloured gold layer. Layers of resin and metal help to protect the decorative layers, and much polishing and finishing achieves the final look. It is a very labour intensive process which Rowena has developed over many years.
