Shopping local and supporting our local indie businesses is more important now than ever before. I can't buy all the stock from my local bead shop - @thebeadshopnottingham - although I wish I could so instead I've made a free beadweaving tutorial using beads bought from them. . This picture was put together by my 9 year old son - teaching computer skill (ie, how to use Canva) is educational, right? 😆 . Link is in my bio. . #beadweavingpatterns #beadingtutorials #indiejewelry #indiebusiness #jewelrydesigner #jewelleryblogger #handmadejewelry #shoplocal #nottinghamblogger #lovenotts

I think we could all do with a little distraction from the news and anxiety around covid-19 so I've put together a fun but easy polymer clay tutorial. The finished jewellery will be perfect to see you into the spring /summer months. . Whilst we spend more time indoors over the next few weeks/months it's a great chance to take up a new hobby or explore new techniques. . Go through the 'Useful Links and Shop' in my bio to find my latest blog post (blog post contains affiliate links). . #polymerclaytutorial #polymerclayartist #polymerclayjewellery #diyjewellery #indiejewelry #lookingforwardtosummer

Have you ever wondered how those little slices of clay end up as beautiful beads and pendants? . Today's blog tutorial shows you exactly that. There's even a YouTube video!

I spend hours trying to make my jewellery as perfect as possible but this week I needed something a little less structured. I've spent many happy hour learning how to use my @primamarketinginc water-soluble oil pastels. . Ooh, I've had so much fun. . I've made a blog post discussing all the tips and techniques I discovered along the way. First link in my linktree... . What do you turn to when you need a change? . #oilpastels #oilpastelart #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #mixedmediajournal #artblog

Hands up, who's ready for spring? 🙋‍♀️🌸🌱🐣 . My newest blog tutorial is a pretty spring flower necklace made from translucent polymer clay and alcohol inks. . It's the first link in my linktree 🔗 . I also have a new mailing list pop up so if you want to keep up to date with things I'd be very happy if you signed up for it. It's a bit of a work in progress but I'll get there 😁 . #polymerclaytutorial #polymerclayartist #polymerclayjewellery #polymerclaynecklace #jewelleryblogger #jewelrydesigner #indiejewelry #jewelerymaking

Following on from yesterday's post where we discussed big and small danglies I thought I'd post my earring of choice today 😆 I'd say they are medium dangles but super lightweight. . Leopard print and stripes - why not. . What's your earring choice today? . #indiejewelry #leopardprint #polymerclayearrings #polymerclayjewellery #earringsoftheday #earringsaddict #statementearrings #etsyseller #polymerclayartist

I've just asked a very important question on stories - does size matter? I am, of course, talking about earrings 😆 I never know how big to make them so I always make several different shapes and sizes. What's your preference for ear adornment? . #indiejewelry #polymerclayjewellery #polymerclayartist #polymerclayearrings #etsyseller #earringsoftheday #statementearrings

Oh, I wish could bead this fast. A slower version of this heart brick stitch tutorial is now on my YouTube and blog. All the links in bio..... . #beadweaving #beadweavingpatterns #brickstitchjewellery #brickstitch #beadingtutorials

A little free beadweaving tutorial to start the week. Happy beading ❤️😍❤️ . Link in my linktree . #beadweaving #beadweavingpatterns #diyjewelry #diyjewelrymaking #diyjewellery #brickstitch #beadingtutorials #freebeadingpattern #seedbeadjewelry

Is it a peach, is it an orange or, indeed, is it an apple? 🤔😂🍑🍏 . Does it even matter because I had fun? Another random sketchbook drawing using posca pens and a little oil pastel over the top. The oil pastel brings out the texture of the watercolour paper which I really like. . Happy Friday folks. . The answer is peaches for anyone interested but my daughter thought orange😆 . #sketchbookdrawing #emergingartist #oilpastel #poscapens #paintpens #drawingoftheday #colourfun #playingwithpaint #foodillustration #ihavethisthingwithcolour
