I got a lovely email from Central Station this morning saying that they’d selected my Map Paper Garlands to be the ‘Featured Work’ on the website. So I’ve got a lovely prominent plug for Milomade on the Bulletin page, on the Community page and on the Portfolio page. Chuffed to bits as I only decided […]

Have a look at the lovely jewellery made by Colby June. I love these oak branch earrings and the whole Compose Decompose range. The branches remind me of the coral shapes I sketched earlier this year and wanted to use for some of my sea glass jewellery. I ended up making polished silver claws instead […]

I’ve had a few email enquiries about my Paper Garlands since I added them to my Zibbet shop. I’m so glad people love them as I love making them and have also got some out decorating the house – they look great! The enquiries have mostly for people’s weddings and parties.

I went up to Dundee at the weekend to see the degree show and was mostly disappointed by what I saw. Only a handful of talented folk stood out. One in particular that amazed me was Linsey McGregor who’s work is paper based. On display were some extraordinary pieces of body art/jewellery and these were […]

I was asked recently by my friends Dan and Sonas to make one of my sea glass pendants for one of their friends for her birthday. They came round to select a piece of glass from my vast collection and settled on 2 pieces and couldn’t decide between them. So I said I would make […]

I guess I’m still grieving for the loss of the 10th doctor, but maybe that’s so because the new Doctor has not lived up to expectations. I’m not sure why the new cast were chosen, but it surely can’t be for their acting abilities. I have just watched Episode 8 and it was appalling. I […]

I came across this set of artists videos via a link on the Makers-Online blog. It’s amazing to watch an artist create and here you get to watch 6 artists make some of their work. The films are speeded up and it’s great to see the pieces take shape so quickly – it almost makes […]
