Hello! So I’ve been away for quite a long time and I’m really feeling out of practice! Over here in (rather grey) Bath, UK, I have been experiencing Mum guilt of the worst kind! Both my husband and I started new jobs and the children went back to school, which meant a flurry of Mum …
Have you been watching Loki on Disney+? I have! My husband and daughter are big, big Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans… although she’s only 8, they’ve watched all of the movies together (except Deadpool and Venom, which we thought was a bit age inappropriate), as well as Wandavision and the Falcon and the Winter Solider. …
I very recently had the honour of being asked to make my first commissioned piece of jewellery. For me, it was a big honour, as it was a 19th birthday present to a fellow taekwon-do student from her parents. I knew it had to be special! Perhaps, you can judge for yourself? A Bit about …
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 …
I have a lot of friends who love crafts – all kinds of crafts, from knitting and needlework through to pottery and wood burning. They’re a talented bunch, and we love nothing better than to share our latest creations with each other. At the moment, we’re all just waiting for social distancing restrictions to ease …
Hi! Welcome & thank you for joining me mid-week! I’m planning an extra special weekly “All That Glitters” challenge for the next 6 weeks, to coincide with the brand new jewellery programme, “All That Glitters“, which started here in the UK last week. If like me, you’re fascinated by the world of jewellery making, then …
The great thing about making jewellery is that there are so many materials, techniques and styles, which means it’s going to take me a while to explore them all and hopefully I won’t get bored too quickly. This week’s project is a little bit unusual! Have a look: If you were born in the 80s, …
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 …
