As of this week, you can now buy Miloamde goodies from Itch Gallery – a lovely exhibiting and selling gallery in Oakham (situated in Rutland – the smallest county in the UK). I found them on Facebook and got in touch. There was a bit of faffing on my part as I’m so busy at […]

Now that I’m nearly back in ym studio and will soon be getting ready to do my first Open Studio event in August, I’ve started bringing some of my creative ideas, that I’ve been storing in my head for the past year or so, to life. One of my plans has been to start collecting […]

I got a ring order this week for one of my lovely Pamuya rings – it’s the last one in this limited set unfortunately – and the customer wanted me to add an antique patina to it. The final result is amazing and I wish I’d added a patina to the other ones I’ve made […]

I’ve been really busy with my pieces for the Creative Exchange of late – so much so that I’ve forgotten to post up my progress. I’ve got so much to do this month that time is very limited, but I want to post up a few more piccies to show you how I’m getting on.

Last week I cut the two rods of acrylic I received into small discs as I decided to make an orange neckpiece and a green neckpiece too. The next task was to drill two holes into each disc and this is where things went horribly wrong. I nearly cried as it took me so long […]

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 […]
