  • An Etsy update at last

    I’ve finally updated my Etsy site with jewellery made from the leaves collected on our road trip. If you followed my travels around North Ontario you might have seen this picture: During the trip I made sure to be collecting leaves along the way – looking for anything that caught my eye including small ferns,…

  • North Ontario Road Trip – Day 2 Manitoulin Island to Sault Ste Marie

    Day 2 took us off the island and into the border town of Sault Ste Marie. Once again the autumn colours were in full blast all the way there, and the weather was gorgeous. Once in Sault Set Marie we went out for some more night shooting, getting this great shot of the milky way…

  • Romantic Copper jewellery

    I can’t get away from the autumn leaves, though my stores of preserved ones are getting woefully low :( However – I had enough for a few last pieces in my autumn leaf series and I think these are my most beautiful and romantic items yet. This lariat style necklace is made with a copper…

  • I ♥ Autumn

    My last round of I ♥ Autumn jewellery did so well I decided to do one more round before autumn in Toronto is over. I’ve added some new bezels, silver finishes and a new ‘tree of life design’ check it out!

Ever since I started working in resin I’ve been obsessed with the idea of preserving beautiful, natural elements to wear. In particular, the magic of…

  • Autumn is such a showoff

    Beautiful autumn in the beautiful Terra Cotta reserve near Toronto. The colours are out of this world. While we were there we collected some leaves for my latest pieces. I can’t wait to show these off but I’m waiting until they’re done to share. These ones will be on Etsy! Here is a sneak peek…

  • Beautifully Different – Pumpkin Carving

    Today I wanted to share a beautiful, simple technique that Tito taught me for carving relief patterns into pumpkins. It’s fun, quick and something a little different for your fall home decor. For purposes of this tutorial I used a very small pumpkin – but this will work on any size. You will need the…

  • Inspira – Autumn Leaves II

    I’ve been working a lot with this idea of preserving the leaves from the absolutely stunning autumn we just had – and I won’t lie to you, there are so many piles of FAIL around the house from earlier versions that today I threw away almost 80 pieces, either leaked or discoloured or broken, or…
