Cold crystal tones with fabric puffs. Vintage button closure and embellishments.

Heavily embellished necklace. Brown seaweed base with north sea urchins and foamy bubbles. The sterling silver elements are hand pierced.

Lobster Creels marked with neon bouys on rough seas.

Warm metallic shades of brown and gold complemented with pink and blue.

Dark blue freeform necklace accented with Suffolk puffs, vintage buttons and sea urchin. Highly textured, lightweight and fairly flat profile.

Statement necklace worked in peyote stitch with signature sea urchin elements. Asymmetric with lots of movement. Looks amazing against skin. Bold style in a muted colour palette making this big piece surprisingly easy to wear.

Working in beads freed me to use and abuse colour. I never met two beads that couldn’t look good together. Some linking colours to clash or calm hold pieces together. Form and 3D came naturally but colour needed to grow. I’m loving felt pen in the same way as bead colours. The colours are static and vibrant, there’s no mixing pigment or tonality so you need to take the colours on the chin!

I’m really enjoying drawing at the moment. My sketchbook is shared with my 3 year old which keeps me from getting precious and means I don’t feel like I need to wait until I’m alone to draw. She’s knocking out some beautiful stuff. We work in felt pen. I have some lovely panetone ones along with a motley collection of garish cheap ones. The colours are lovely and combined with watercolours and metallics pretty adaptable.
