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. Hannah x
