  • I’ve finally updated my Etsy site with jewellery made from the leaves collected on our road trip.

  • Le Pop! Was on the weekend, and I think we can say it was a success. I got to enjoy the other booths and artists, a super tasty brunch at Nyood Bar and chat about creativity all day long. Lots of people stopped at the booth and admired the photography and asked me where my…

  • This is the last one in my short series of delicate little charm bracelets, and for my last one I’ve chosen the beautiful city of Florence. The Ponte Vecchio at blue hour, that perfect sky colour and the Arno river so still and reflective inspired me to create this last bracelet – with a deep blue…

It is so satisfying to wear something where even the actual beads are made by you! This isn’t my bead – it’s Tito’s. I stole it from him as…

  • Last Monday Tito and I got back into the lampworking studio for the first time in almost a year, and woo boy, was I ever out of practice. Of the many pieces I made that night, almost half of them broke in the kiln. The advice I got was that I had let my glass…

  • Today I polished off more of the tulips I preserved a few weeks ago -and used the left over resin to make something cute for myself :) Too often I only keep a piece for myself if it’s damaged somehow. Today I decided to treat myself by creating the ultimate Shireen piece! Of course it…
