Inspired by everyday images

pony and kist, a photo by Paparwark on Flickr.

This was one of my first pieces which used a strong Shetland image in the design. The Shetland pony is one of Sheltand's most famous icons and the flowing lines lend itself really well to producing a very elegant chest. This is a real statement piece in any room. The photograph was taken near to our workshop and has a stunning view south along the cliffs. When living in a place for a long time you take the images for granted. I was inspired to design this when living in Glasgow and feeling a bit home sick. During that time I was inspired buy other images of home which were seals, cows, boats and Viking runes!
