Whilst I was preparing for the craft fair in June I sat looking at my clay and paired up a deep purple and summery turquoise. I decided they would look lovely, together, as feathers. I now realise in hindsight that the colour combination wasn't pure fluke as my daughters waterproof coat is turquoise with a... Continue Reading →
Monochrome Jewellery
When I was preparing for the craft fair in October/November I decided to work on a monochrome collection of jewellery to contrast with all the colourful pieces I had previously made.

Abalone Metal Leaf Jewellery and Etsy!
Hello, Don't know about anyone else but I can sit for ages trying to think of a catchy title for a blog post and it always ends up being boring!
