I am not sure how you have been in the past few months…I for one felt less then inspired to do anything extremely creative. The idea of creating jewellery felt foreign, and the thoight of sitting down and twist wires just did not feel right. In the UK the world came to a halt suddenly around the 22nd of March when we were told to all go indoors and not ce out until we are told its safe. For me this whole world going to pot started much earlier with the first stories hitting the news in February. First week … Continue reading Creativity….

The weekend is the time when I have time to create or indeed look after my online Esty shop. It is a time when I can sit down; forget about the day job and do what I like best – using my imagination. Using my hands to make jewelry pieces; and use my camera to then publish my work.

Some may say that they would like to see the back of 2016 as it was filled with a lot of negative vibes; celebrities leaving the stage; wars waged won and lost; globally life is more volatile than perhaps a year ago.

Wish you all a prosperous; peaceful; happy new year.   Continue reading A new year a new begining

This is a piece of jewellery i have been working on for some time. I made the pendant a number if months ago. It is made using a stone i picked up on the beach in the South of France many moons ago. The wrapping is copper wire, and the “beads” are infact black coloured fresh ware pearls.  I knew that the pendant would lendvitself to a custom made chain to give it an authentic look.  Making the chain was the slightly longer process. I knew it needed a less polished look than a chain with round links. So I … Continue reading One two three four….

This piece is a work in progress which will culminate in being a set of earrings and a pendant. I have a center piece which now needs to be turned into a finished object. I know that this design appeals to me and hopefully appeals to my viewers.; though I am not sure of the next step as yet. I have experimented turning it into an earring and has not worked out yet. A work in progress indeed. Continue reading Pearly strands
