What a busy year, Christmas came and went, and with loads of family commitments early on in the year I am still struggling to catch up.
I was very lucky to get the most wonderful present of a kiln for Christmas.
After a course from Jessica Turrell I was well on the way to learning a few new techniques. I have been making everything from playing cards using a special transfer on enamel. Using white enamel and turning it into a beautiful green / goldWhat a busy year, Christmas came and went, and with loads of family commitments early on in the year I am still struggling to catch up.

I can’t believe it is the Christmas Season. The time has just flown by since we got back from Japan. I have been busy making new jewellery influenced by our trip.  I am also putting an exciting Christmas list together for Santa…that will help with new ideas and new techniques for me to develop in next year.

I am going to improve my photography and upload more of my work onto the website, some pieces have not even made it online before being sold at local fairs and sales – so I need to make more!

I have a great new range of multi pearl necklaces which I am very excited about and will be shown for the first time at the next fair I attend.
