I’m delighted to announce that I have a new stockist. Orsay Oban is now stocking a selection of my Echoes and Enduring Love collections. They are an independant gift shop in the beautiful coastal town of Oban on the west of Scotland and stock the work of over 100 British designers. They have a passion […]
I’ve been meaning to add these items to my online shop, oh, for about a year, maybe??!! Finally got around to it today, phew! I’ve just listed some new Copper Clouds and Festive Baubles in a new category called Copper Hanging Decorations. Go check them out. I’ve been making my Copper Clouds for years now […]
Hello again! If you’ve been looking at my Instagram feed lately you’ll have noticed that I’ve taken slight diversion from jewellery making of late and I’ve been working with recycled copper a lot. I mentioned in my last post that I’d started on a series of copper letters decorated with lots of different metal stamps. […]
Before I became a parent I used to work flat out all year round, but would take a few weeks off here and there to travel with my partner. As a parent that had to change, not initially as babies are pretty easy going, but once nursery and school got in the mix, things became […]
I will be opening my doors to the public on the first weekend in September as part of Central Fife Open Studios 2018. This is an annual event I’ve been involved in for a few years now and I’m really looking forward to it. I will be the only studio open in Kinghorn this year, […]
Every now and then it’s good to do something totally different, step away from the norm, challenge yourself and get out of that cosy comfort zone that you’ve been in for so long… I did just that recently when I took on an interesting brooch commission. All I was given initially was this very simple […]
If you’re sitting at work daydreaming about blue skies and warm summer days by the sea, with the smell of BBQs in the air then you’ll know it’s time to start the holiday countdown. The countdown has started at Milomade HQ as I’ve been busy planning what I’ll be doing with my family over the […]
I took a little bit of time out from my usual jewellery production last week as I had a pile of thin tapering strips of scrap silver on my bench. The scrap silver, something I would normally melt down, were the offcuts from long strips that I use to form my Seafoam Ring Bands. Instead […]
My recent visit to Blackpool had me wandering around the streets reminiscing. I loved every minute. I visited old haunts, had my lunch at the steps of the college where I studied photography, drove down the prom and spent a good few hours in The Regent hunting out some cool vintage stuff. When I lived […]
Since 1992, the folks at Kikkerland Design have travelled the world in search of original designs for things that can make life more enjoyable. Clever things to intrigue you. Smart things that make everyday tasks easier. And gentle things that make you feel happier when you use them.
So as you know I was down in Yorkshire revently for the British Craft Trade Fair. This year I travelled south a day early and took a detour via Blackpool to visit my friends Rob and Kev, who I lived with after I graduated from college. They took me in as their lodger back in […]
I’ve been so busy with the British Craft Trade Fair that I’ve not had a chance to announce that my work is currently available at Made Gallery in Uppingham, Rutland until May.
So today was my first day back at work since I travelled down to Yorkshire for the British Craft Trade Fair. I got back to Scotland late last Wednesday, but as my son was still off school and I was totally exhausted from all that driving, socialising, working and catching up with friends, I thought […]
Did you know that April is National Letterwriting Month? I didn’t until today when I saw a post on Instagram and followed a trail that eventually led me here: www.writeoncampaign.com Write_On is a mission driven campaign to promote joy, creativity, expression, and connection through hand-written correspondence. The lovely people at Egg Press started the campaign […]
In a few weeks time (holy crap so soon!!!) I’ll be back in Harrogate for the British Craft Trade Fair. Am I ready? No way near! But I’m on the case and working through my to do list steadily, quietly hoping everything will fall into place just as it did last year. I’ve got all […]
At the end of last year I and a few other artists took over the management of Central Fife Open Studios when the previous committee stood down. So I’m quite honoured to announce that I am now chair of Central Fife Open Studios! So this is a wee post about that as we’re in the […]
My last blog post was all about whale watching in Kinghorn and how our oceanic visitor to the Firth of Forth inspired me last year to start making whale tail necklets. With the return of the whale(s) this year, we’ve had a really busy January here in Kinghorn with hundreds of whale watchers flocking to […]
Last year I started making whale tail pendants and they were a huge success. I initially made 5 from some very rare sterling silver teaspoons. They sold out almost immediately and this inspired me to make more. Each time I added new pendants to my online shop or showed work in progress on Facebook and […]
Well 2018 is finally here and so is my new website. I’ve been working away on this re-development since last year and it’s taken a little longer than expected, as these things inevitably do. But I’m so happy to announce going live today that I’m also announcing a Launch Discount Coupon too. If you place […]
