About this Product
Red deer have become something of an icon of the Scottish Highlands. It is an impressive animal, and it’s hardly surprising that it features in so much folklore. Other deer species also make a regular appearance in the world’s myths. The Gaelic for red deer is fiadh ruadh. In the Highlands people once called them ‘fairy cattle’ and people believed fairies milked them on mountain tops.
Scoti Creations
Meet the Maker
I'm a huge fan of history and archeology. I'm fascinated and inspired by ancient metal-smiths and incorporate ancient Celtic, Pict or Norse patterns in my work. I'm excited to blend my skills into a wearable interpretation of Celtic art.
How it’s Made
Each item begins as a piece of sheet metal, copper, bronze, brass or nickel. After a pattern is transferred to the metal, the piece is etched in a salt-water solution. Each piece is hand cut, sanded, and polished. A patina may be applied or it may be hand painted with dye oxide. A clear polymer coating is applied.
