Welcome to my 4th All That Glitters challenge! Phew! I can’t quite believe there are only two more episodes of “All That Glitters” left! Whilst I’m sad that I’ll have to find new entertainment for a Tuesday night, I confess that I’m relieved that I won’t be doing quite so many challenges after this! Don’t …
Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th Be With You! Well, I’ve just finished Week 3 of my self-imposed “All That Glitters” challenges, and what a week it was! I don’t think I’ve felt this stressed or frustrated in a very long time! But now that it’s all done, I feel a strange sense of …
Another week and another episode of “All That Glitters” – the second week gave the viewers the chance to get to know the remaining seven jewellers a little bit better. It was a tough week, with the jewellers set a “Bestseller” challenge to create a chain collar. And yes, the first thing I did was …

Today, I’m bringing you my latest project – a wire wrapped sakura ring! Hope you enjoy it! Ring a Month Challenge Last week, I mentioned that I had joined various Facebook groups for jewellers. Well, another one that I came across was the “Make a Ring a Month 2021” group. I discovered the group after …
This week, I’m taking a break from wire jewellery because… my workshop is finally ready, my kids have gone back to school and I’ve made a spinner ring! So I now have a couple of days free in the week, which I’ve been spending obsessively in my workshop (read: glorified summer house! But I don’t …
