If you’ve not seen Judith Brown’s jewellery before, then please go check out her website now! She combines fine silver and coloured wires with vintage haberdashery items to make unique pieces of jewellery with an intricacy and delicacy reminiscent of lace.

I recently discovered the blog of Eric Barclay and thought I’d share it with you. He’s a very talented illustrator as can be seen from his website and I really like his style, but if you explore his blog you’ll find that he’s also rather good at making stuff from odds and ends – and you know how much I love recycling!

This is something I might have to try – making polymer clay buttons – there are some vintage buttons that are unique and sometimes I find it hard to part with some of the jewellery I make as I know I’ll never come across another button like that again. With this idea, I could make a mould and create a duplicate to keep in my collection for reference and to remember.

How cool would it be to have a slide in your house – what a way to travel from the landing to the kitchen or living room!

I’ve worked with cement in the past when I studies sculpture at art college and it’s a great material to work with. Since then I’ve only ever encountered cement through building projects, like our mammoth kitchen renovation project [still ongoing]. So it’s amazing to come across a site like this and find cement being used for jewellery.

People often liken my elasticated button bracelets to those edible bracelets and necklaces you could get in the 70’s and 80’s – not sure if you can still get them. So imagine my surprise when I came across this shop called Andie’s Speciality Sweets on Etsy selling edible buttons!

I saw this on Craftgawker or Weddinggawker last week and fell in love with this style. Can’t wait for my hair to be long enough again to have ago at it.

What a find for this Friday!
I love this concept – A bright colourful plastic ring that is actually USB stick in disguise! A perfect gift for a geeky girlfriend.

Batteries are quite hard to recycle and you’re never quite sure what happens to them once you’ve dropped them into a box at your local supermarket – do they get re-processed in the UK or shipped abroad and have to travel great distances in order to be recycled. So it was a joy to find the work of Michel de Broin today who create a piece entitled “Dead Star” made from used up batteries.
