Happy to be back

Well, I was finally back in the studio today and what a lovely feeling that was. After the manic end to 2013 and the excesses of Christmas and New Year I took some time out, but being in the studio is where I actually feel I need to be.
I started out by playing with some simple designs but there are already lots of ideas floating around so watch this space for new pieces, including more rings and lockets.

Visit - Love Local Bristol

The new season of Paper.Scissors.Stone has opened and along with Made in Bristol and The Print Shop. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the opening night bash but here are some photographs from the evening and it looks like a great time was had by all. Be sure to go and check out the shops at Quakers Friars, Cabot's Circus as you will find many talented folk selling wonderful things.

My Studio

Worked on a commission piece today, my first Christening bangle. I have to say that I'm pretty darned pleased with it.

I haven't made a wish list for a while as I haven't had much time to browse on Etsy for inspiration, but today I have managed to spend a little while peeking at all the lovely things on offer. As I have been dreaming of my beautiful St. Ives recently the pieces I have chosen to share are all sea foam frothy and cool blues. I am looking forward to extending my summer a little longer by visiting Cornwall in October, can you tell?

Where are you dreaming of?

New Jewellery

Hello lovelies, well hasn't it been a miserable couple of days here in old blighty, I am really missing that sunshine! However, this has meant that I have had to knuckle down and get on with some new designs instead of swanning about in the sun.
As you may or may not already know much of my work is inspired by fairytales and fanciful tales, and these new pieces are taken from two of my favourite stories.

"I SHOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A KISS"

This is what Wendy said to Peter Pan before handing him a thimble from her pocket. It is the perfect whimsical symbol of love, a thimble kiss.

When Alice fell down the rabbit hole she found a table with a tiny key upon it, this key was to a little door that led to Wonderland. 

These two pendants are available now in my Etsy shop and will be added to my Folksy shop very soon.

Good morning and welcome to a new week, oh my goodness June has been and continues to be a super busy and exiting month for me. Lots of good things to get happy about, Frome Supermarket and Bath Christmas Market applications being accepted being at the top of the list.
I am going to need a lot of alone time to get making for these markets so I was thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a little house on a hill somewhere to avoid all distractions. Ironically this distracted me enough to come up with this Etsy wish list for you!

I'd like to wrap some gifts with this...
