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.

Cute chicken.
Thank you. Its hard to make a chicken look cute 🙂
But you did.
😃
I like it. It’s a cool style
Thank you. Definitely something I want to try again. Would be fun in bold colours.
Oooh yeah, that would look great
You’re “quite pleased”? QUITE PLEASED???? Are you CRAZY?
This is so brilliant Hannah that before I’d even read anything I was already oooing and aahhhing over that chicken! It’s fantastic.
Quite pleased? You are waaay too critical of your brilliant art, missy.
You’ll come back in a couple of months or so and see this and see it as if for the first time … THEN you’ll see how fabulous this is!
GREAT JOB Hannah. love ❤ it! ~ Cobs. xxx
Thank you 😃 It’s hard to look at what I’ve drawn and not feel a little critical. I love this style though and really want to revisit it but with colour and maybe do a bigger illustration. It reminds me of something from when I was younger but I’m not sure what. Possibly my parents 70’s pattern dishes 😃 Hxx
Ohhhh… YES! I had that same feeling when I first saw it and couldn’t work out what it reminded me of …. and I’m now thinking that it could well have been a similar pattern type of thing, on the side of some Pyrex dishes my mom had when I was young. White dishes, with handles on the side, which she used to make casseroles in. They had a pattern on the side – which I think (THINK*) were flowers and .. something or other. And they had these lines inside the ‘drawn’ lines, instead of a solid colour. I THINK the patterns were blue. I THINK. But I could be totally wrong. lol.
Fabulous drawing though Hannah. ~ Cobs. xxx
Yes, yes a casserole dish. My mum had a purple one with orange flowers and greenery on it and then a white cup and saucer set (I think) with a bold flowery pattern. Hxx
❤ ❤ ❤ Don't you love Pyrex? Such fantabulous memories of food served up from or in them. C. xxx
Yeah folk art are really fun and attractive too
I loved drawing this one and promised myself that I would try again with a folk art style. I’m yet to do it though. Hoping I’ll find time at some point to look more into folk art.
