On Saturday night I caught this beauty rising over the lake – a perfectly timed blood moon is such a lucky shot! Sunday I caught this lovely angle. Sadly, not such a rare occurrence around here. Sunday was also the day that I finished our latest batch of sterling silver, bought the table, chairs and tent for…

I love spring for lots of reasons; the temperatures are comfortable, the novelty of nice weather is fresh, the nights are still cool enough for knitted shawls and scarves. Most of all though, spring is a time of great inspiration for my work because so many beautiful flowers are in bloom. When we did our marketing shoot, I…

This is probably the longest dry spell the blog has ever had, but I’ve got good reasons, honest. The cat got sick (he’s better now) the computer was in the shop for 2 weeks (it’s better now) and we’ve had our heads down every evening buried in production for the show season, which will start…

One of the reasons Tito and I love selling at shows so much is that the jewelry looks lovely in the sun. In person, our work is lovely, and heavy and shiny, and seeing all our pieces spread out has a very candy-shop type of appeal. All the colours and details really shine in different…

Tito and I have been a serious production house lately! I’m not planning to put any of it on Etsy at the moment (though there are a few pieces up there still, and I might plan something small just for Mothers Day!) but I still wanted to share them. Today I decided to showcase our…

Some friends of mine requested a family set of pendants, made from purple tulips. There are 2 mothers, and 3 children. To celebrate the thought of family I chose to make all 5 pendants from the same flower by carefully preserving the flower to lay all of its petals flat. Once my tulips were ready…

It’s been a long time since I did an update of jewellery for sale on Etsy, but I’ve been enjoying my new techniques so much I thought it was time to share :) Here is a selection of the pieces currently for sale on my Etsy site: First up is my collection of sea and…

I’ve been experimenting with using metal inclusions and resin coatings to jazz up my polymer clay jewellery – and to give them a more polished feel overall. There are other benefits, besides the aesthetic ones; the resin lends not only shine, but strength to polymer clay jewellery, allowing it to take a lot more pressure…
