New Work on the way . . .

Here's a little sneak preview of my next collection:

I've been very busy creating my new range for late Summer / early Autumn. It features matt, muted shades paired with the sumptuous textures of silver, silk and gemstones - so tactile! They are designed to be worn layered - to mix and match, but do work equally well worn one at a time for simplicity and elegance.

I'm very happy with them, love them in fact, and have been making lots for myself!!

I'm very drawn to muted shades at the moment - smoky, stormy, moody. Would love to know what colours you are drawn to this year as Summer turns to Autumn. I must say I'm usually drawn to plum and berry colours as Autumn shifts in. But hey, I'm not done with Summer yet - need a little more sun still yet.

These designs will be in my shop in a few weeks time,  and I'll be posting more pictures and sharing some behind the scenes images too.

Please feel free to browse my Jewellery Shop or Website, I have a 20% OFF SALE running at the moment!

And have a lovely day!

May 2012

May has been a busy month, full of variety and surprises. Here follows a visual story of the month of May as it turned out for me . . .

The coastal area surrounding me is bathed with the lilac haze of these beautiful 'Sea Pinks'. The combination of colours, of the pretty lilac against the green hills and the turquoise seas, has inspired a whole new range of ribbon and shell jewellery . . .  

So many beautiful sunsets. Often punctuated by birds flying home to roost . . . 

And the flowers in the garden during May were just beautiful . . . 

Another new range of jewellery born during the month of May. My 'Flower Garden' range is a selection of gemstone cluster necklaces and bracelets, inspired by all the busy growth and activity in the garden this month . . .

I also did my first ever 'giveaway', and loved it! . . . 

I gave away my most popular item, my 'Blue Bird Necklace'. 

May seems to have been all about our beautiful feathered friends - the garden was so full of busy birds and their little babies. We are currently feeding thousands!! Here is just one of them . . . 

Such a beautiful hazy light filtering through the flowers in the garden . . . 

Lots of new jewellery pieces this month. This one below is an Agate necklace, one of a collection of about six pieces added to my shop, as well as many other new designs . . . 

And such gorgeous late evening light too - sunsets so rich, warm, and inviting, not to mention inspiring . . . 

I hope May was a great month for you too, full of inspiration, wonder and colour. 

I must say I'm very excited about some new ideas that I have for my jewellery for June, working with the gorgeous new materials that I've collected during May. I'm really looking forward to what June has in store. So I'll leave May behind with a little taste of what June may bring . . . 

Wishing you a wonderful month to come.

Oh Boy have I been busy!

Well, I still don't have a computer to work on, but it's resulted in me having far more time to spend in my studio being creative! I've been very productive and have lots of new pieces to share. 

Here are a few pieces that I've been working on . . . 

As you can see I've been enjoying working with lots of natural materials such as shells, pearls and gemstones, and combining them with lovely tactile fabric ribbons. I love the combination of the iridescent luster on the shells and pearls with that of the matt, crinkled texture of these lovely French ribbons. 

I've added over 30 new designs to my Etsy Jewellery Shop, should you wish to take a peek.

I've also been so inspired by colour lately. All colours. Every colour. Perhaps it's the effect of Spring, I don't know, but I just love to see a riot of wonderful colours at the moment. Loving neons, and pastels, especially when they're combined with grey. 

Hope you've been having some of this lovely Spring sunshine wherever you are - it's been such a tonic!
