As a jewellery designer/maker, Belinda's ongoing motivation is to develop her creative expression through innovative design. Her production range of brooches, earrings and neckpieces are produced combining components which have been textures with fabric rolled patterns and computer engraved text. The combination of computer processes, developed into wearable handcrafted pieces provides a fusion of modern technologies and traditional making techniques, to produce contemporary jewellery.

The computer engraved text series evolved from an exhibition entitled 'context' and is an exploration of language. The pieces trace the fluidity of words and ambiguities of meaning within the English language. I have been examining the interrelations of the spelling; meanings and phonetics of the words pare pear pair and cite sight site. This has highlighted the difficulties English poses to learn, but also the engaging crossovers in meanings.
