Day 91. A million years ago…no, not really, more like about 7 years ago…I collected all sorts of tin objects with the idea that I would add tin “bits and pieces” to my recycled glass jewellery, to create something a little bit different. What I realised in the process was….I really love making glass beads,… Read More
Day 90. Ah, glass. I really this streaky Italian glass, and etching just makes it even more dramatic. There are a few different opaque colours that will do this streaky effect, and it can be both lovely, and annoying at times too!
Day 89. Gin and tonic earrings. The bottom bead is from a Hendricks Limited Release gin bottle, top bead from a Fever Tree tonic water bottle. Yesterday I tried cucumber in my G&T and it was delicious!! What’s your favourite addition?
Day 88. How’s your weekend shaping up? I just finished a live-stream yoga class and it was awesome!!

Day 84. Often the making is the easy part. Most of the time it’s the design that takes a long time. Putting this bead on, changing it for a different colour, trying something else. When the design feels just right, the actual making happens easily. And yet it’s the design process that really captivates me… Read More
Day 83. Continuing my limited palette, I love the spots and stripes in these earrings. While many of the galleries that I sell my work in are choosing to close for the time being, you can always order my work online and I will post it to you. I have an online shop on my… Read More
Day 82. There was a period of time when all I wore were clothes that were either red, black or white. That was it. It made buying clothes really easy, and it made getting dressed each day pretty simple. I can’t remember when I stopped doing that, but slowly my wardrobe has become a lot… Read More
