Today it is bright and sunny here, so I thought I would show you the orange pieces that I made this month! There is something about orange that can make you feel quite happy! I don’t mind wearing a pair of orange earrings. I’m not sure I could stretch to an orange jumper yet, but… Read More
Getting work ready for an exhibition kind of takes it out of me, and it takes a few days to recover. Today is my day in the studio, but I’m taking it easy, and tidying up a bit first, before I start making beads again. The exhibition at Red Poles opens on Saturday, and will… Read More

I had “planned” to make these necklaces a little bit differently, but then I ran out of beads and had to dive into my stash of leftover beads to see what I could use, and this is how they ended up. Actually….I think I’m pretty happy with them. A bit more colourful, and a bit… Read More
