Ceramic kilt pins/buckles anyone?

[sydnie7]

I love ceramic and art glass jewelry. Back when I was dressing for work in the corporate world, I had several sets of lapel pins/earrings. I did break a few pins, mostly from carelessness -- tossing my jacket into the passenger seat at the end of the day -- but never while wearing the garment. Kilt pins might have it a bit tougher, getting banged against counters, bar stool legs and the like.

I just purchased a pendant from these folks at a local bead show. They had some lovely Celtic design pieces but nothing that would "compete" with what you are considering.

Good luck and keep us posted! I did just enough pottery in college to A) fall in love with it and B) realize that I'd need a lot more practice to produce anything worth showing off. . .

hmmm some really interesting ideas folks thank you, a fair few ideas id never even thought about aswell (takes note) the sgain dubh is a great one and for those folk wanting a travel sgain it would be ideal and the ceramic cantle/bell one shouldnt be too difficult a sporran with ceramic would certainly be something new


thats what i love about this site you throw a few ideas around and other folk throw some more back at ya, as soon as i get the parts for my kiln these new ideas will be my first tasks
the thing i love about ceramics is the lifespan of the material if cared for well it'll last for thousands of years

as much as i like the traditional side of the Scots dress and the old methods of how things are made rather than look back i like to think us scots are forward thinkers too after all scots did invent alot of what we take for granted and i feel its our duty to add to the culture as much as we can in new ways with still retaining our heritage ,
with me doing so much family tree and my recent family tree dna results i just feel even more proud of my heritage and culture than i did say a year ago

its got a rustic artsy look to it i dont know whether id go with that ceramic effect but it is nice and those colours look well with a muted kilt i think it would go well

there is a fair few types and desgins on that persons ebay worth having a wee peek at
