You can never forget them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The colours of the ladies saris; the patterns in carpets and on stone work all feed into my designs. I particularly love the idea of the old fabrics that are handed down through the family, have been handled many times and are slightly worn. I imagine them to be filled with stories and memories of people and places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like experimenting with layering patterns and colours in enamel, overlaying one with another to represent these layers of memories. It is a theme I have returned to many times over the years. My latest ones here use hand made decals combined with a final firing  of gold lustre through a screen I made with a design from a Moghul ceiling, to add a subtle hint of pattern and sparkle on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"\\&quot;wp-block-gallery wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" columns-1 is-cropped\\\"><ul class=\\\"blocks-gallery-grid\\\"><li class=\\\"blocks-gallery-item\\\"><figure><img src=\\\"https:\/\/lindaconnellyenamels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Fossil-Pendant-with-Kyranite-1.jpgwp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Heading-1.jpgwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img_2716-scaled-1.webp\\\" data-id=\\\"3699\\\" class=\\\"wp-image-3699\\\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\\\"blocks-gallery-caption\\\">\u2018Indian Memories\u2019 Enamels on silver waiting to be set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to combine different colours with each other to really try to capture the spirit of what I saw and loved.

They are in my sterling silver \u2018silver moon\u2019 settings that are hallmarked by the London Assay Office.
