Fresh out of the kiln

Looks what is still smoking hot and out of the kiln this week, vintage porcelain studs. We sold out so quickly last year so I have to get making earlier this year. Wonderful colour pops to sell at market. Yayyyyyy! 

Oodles of flowers

As you can see I love flowers. I love everything about flowers- the way they smell, their jewel like colours, their loaded symbolism, their intricate science. I love their delicate stamens and I love the little bugs that they attract. I just cant believe that they are completely natural and that they grow and live everywhere. The thing that I like most about flowers is the way they bloom and become ever more spectacular. I too try my best to keep growing and becoming better and better. Now you know my little secret as to why I just cant help but make flowers non stop! 

Lotus Collection

I made these lotus flowers by layering petals upon petals and soldering them together. The more layers I built the more I got excited by the challenge of making sure the piece held together when I reheated it.

I love to wear botanical themed jewellery as it echos the past era of the art nouveau movement (one of my favourite art movements. Flowers, branches, twigs and insects are so feminine and elegant and classic when stylised and made well.
