Hello and welcome to my blog.
My name is Hannah and I am a jewellery designer and maker living in Nottingham, England with my husband, two children and one very cheeky rescue cat.
I have tried many different crafts and styles of jewellery making but I have a particular love for working with polymer clay and bead weaving. I am now fortunate enough to write tutorials for Bead and Jewellery Magazine, I have written online tutorials for Beads Direct and my work has been featured in Mollie Makes magazine. Alongside my tutorial work I run an Etsy and Redbubble shop and sell my jewellery locally at fairs and in shops.
I am also an Illustrator with a tendency to lean towards whimsical and magical artwork.
I my spend most days dreaming of new projects fuelled by many cups of tea, chocolate and audio books.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to see you again soon.

What a fantastic use of time, did you make all of these in one sitting while watching the tv?
They were made over a week. Card making can be frustrating – a smudge of glue in the wrong place can ruin a card but if the beads don’t look right then I can just take them off and start again ☺
Although that is true, it’s a skill I don’t have, all the beads are too small, so I get very impatient, I would rather just wear the art work…or use the beads on cards I make, so they do have a use 😀
I’m the same in front of the TV. Love all these lovely pieces!
Thank you. I’ve just been asked for more jewellery for the shop I sell in.
That’s great! I’d like to try selling my stuff in a store. I might try giving a few pieces to the charity shop first just to see if they sell.
I find it so daunting having to go in and ask if they (the shop owner etc) would like to sell my jewellery and cards because if they say no does that mean they are no good?! I’m trying to tell myself to be bold and put myself out there a bit more.
Your jewelry is all so beautiful! I especially love the round blue stones. I think that’s a great way to spend TV time–why not be productive too? 🙂 I used to make jewelry too, so I definitely understand the appeal. You’re very talented!
Oh, thank you. The blue stones really popped when I put them with the white. What you do with your knitting needles is magic – I’ve tried and failed miserably with knitting ☺
I like that we all bring our own creative magic to the world! 🙂
LOVE them all … but am very drawn to the little bracelet with the three tones of shiny beads, and the one focal bead which has what I think to be a flower growing on the main focal bead. All of them are truly lovely Hannah. You’re so very talented my friend. Well done. ~ Cobs. x
Such a lovely comment, thank you 🙂 The focal bead you mentioned was bought by my Mum and I’ve been hoarding it for years. It was time it got released from it’s box and made into something.
