For Louise Walton

I was recently commissioned to make a custom piece that was a gift to a wonderful 88-year-old woman named Louise Walton. Louise’s daughter Wendy found Louise’s high school track and field metals and decided to do something special with them. Louise grew up in Wyndle, which is a small town near Creston. Louise competed in foot races and high jump traveling to Nelson and Creston to compete in big track meets. For Louise’s piece I made a chainmail necklace and incorporated 11 of Louise’s metals. I am very honoured to have been able to create such a meaningful peace for such an amazing and dynamic woman. The necklace was made with love to celebrate a lovely woman.
