Sailor's buttons (from various centuries) found whilst mudlarking in the River Thames, London
A recent commission, something about doorways and paths. A grey river pebble I found last summer, with brown streak I turned into a tree.

Super old and frosty marble I found at the creek the other day. It's definitely been tumbling around down there for a while. Love the green and white swirls in it!

Medieval Belt Ornament from England, c.1400-1500 CE: this tiny figurine depicts a mythical creature known as a wyvern, and it measures less than 18mm long
This decorative belt-mount was discovered along the banks of the river Thames. It's crafted from copper, and it depicts a dragon-like creature known as a wyvern.
As this article explains:
Smaller than a five-pence coin, the smallest "dragon" resides in the London Museum collection. An object of fascination, almost nothing is known about it, aside from the fact that it was made and used in medieval London. It’s so small that the easiest way to hold it is with tweezers.
Intended to be used as a belt mount, it would have been attached to a belt by a rivet as an aesthetic embellishment.
The mount depicts a roaring wyvern, a legendary winged creature with open jaws, two legs and a curled tail. Wyverns were regarded as powerful and fearsome monsters, and many are found in medieval coats of arms. They represented pestilence and destruction, appearing in illuminated manuscripts.
