Over many thousands of hours carving we’ve developed a pattern language which draws inspiration from both nature and archeology. This is basically a Venn diagram. In a wearable form. #scotland #geology #nature #westernisles #hebrides #isleofharris #isleoflewis #nature #photography #visitscotland

Hebridean geology necklaces are curated from our slow carved beads. To form a bead, first we sustainably source some stone, then we cut it into cubes ensuring to remove any fractures. Then we grind the cube to a cylinder, then a sphere. Then drill hole, bevel hole, sand, polish and wax before string

@markthomasinfo.bsky.social Your time spent enlightening the outer darkness in Stornoway the other week was very much appreciated. Farage. Bin juice. Indelible. If you ever are up this way again… Tea. Cake. Seilebost. Anytime. Always and eternally welcome. Thanks x10 for what it is you do. Sláinte!

It’s a great pity that due to the insanity of isolationism we are no longer able to export work to Europe and perhaps soon anywhere else if the orange fascist cult continues to metastasize. If however you are in the UK and especially in Scotland, we welcome trade enquiries. #scotland #scottishgifts

A selection of some of the larger sorts of work we produce. All of these pieces are carved from Lewisian Gneiss which is roughly 3 billion years old. Over 10x older than the oldest dinosaur fossil. #deeptime #slowmade #handcarved #scotland #hebrides #outerhebrides #gneiss #gneissthings #isleoflewis
