Oh Someday

When it’s too hot to care what your hair looks like…

One of my hand forged brass hair pins headed out recently, they can be personalised with anything you like!

Here’s a memoriam bangle that I recently made. The coins are from the year of birth of the customers parents and it’s stamped on the inside with names and dates.
I love working with old coins and it was a nice challenge getting these ones looking shiny and new again!

Regarde le ciel - look at the sky ☀️
This, appropriately, headed out today (except there aren’t any clouds right now, but still a beautiful sky!).
I haven’t made one of these in aaages! It’s so lovely when a piece you created over a decade ago still speaks to someone ☁️

On my way home from my last day at Selfridges! I really enjoyed my time there and would love to do more stuff like this, so get in contact if you’d like me to!
It was really interesting spending a few days in a huge department store, I got to do lots of great people watching and it was fascinating seeing how different characters interact with the fragrances.
I’m not a particularly experienced seamstress so it was good to practice and refine those skills. I inherited my Nan’s sewing box and I took the pin and needle holder that she had in there up with me.
It’s proper hot in London today so I treated myself to a Mr Whippy on the walk to the station.

Tutto passa - everything passes

A personalised version of one of my open rings made from recycled sterling silver

Probably should get back to posting jewellery photos on here! 😆
Here’s some orders heading out today. Loved making the engagement ring, I can make them with any wording (or proposal) you like!
The radish doesn’t really have anything to do with anything, I just wanted to take a photo of it as it’s the first one I’ve grown this year. Also they’re just such an amazing colour!
Might do a weird crossover of my interests and start taking photos of my jewellery on my home grown vegetables 🤔

I’ve just been informed by 6 Music it’s World Art Day 🎨 You may remember I did a post in January saying my goal for this year is to do more creative things for fun, so I thought I’d do a little update!
In January I did a 4 week throwing course with - I really loved this! It’s such a great space and I really enjoyed learning how to use a pottery wheel! I tried to make a pen holder I could hang my pliers off of but it ended up being waaay too small so now it’s a lighter and sunglasses holder.
In February I did a monoprinting workshop with - this was also really fun and I love the concept of doing little workshops, being arty in a pub with your friends! Definitely want to do more things like this.
In March I decided to teach myself lino cutting and printing. I already had a lino kit from years ago (that I never used) and I bought a cheap set of erasers to practice on. In hindsight I think it would probably have been better to start out practising on something a bit bigger than a tiny rubber but this was a really inexpensive way to give it a go where it didn’t really matter if you f**k it up!
Haven’t done a lot in April as I’ve had that horrible flu bug that’s going round but I have been planting some seeds for my mini vegetable garden. Is growing seeds creative? Maybe 🌱
Need to think of more things to try for the rest of the year…
