...and here they are!

Blossom Pop...hurrah!

I have really loved making this new collection, and have been inspired by the sunny days of late and the freshness of Spring (which you could probably tell from my 29 project pictures...all those petals and blooms!)

It's been great to use so much colour again and I have mixed up juicy acrylics and vintage Lucite with crystal and metal for a clean, colourful, fun and sparkling look, with a handful of charms thrown in for good measure...I'd love to know what you think and I do hope you like it!

See and shop all of these bits and pieces in the Jewels section of my shop...

New jewels...

Coming soon...

Hey folks...I just thought I would give you another peek at the new jewellery collection.

Say hello to Blossom Pop earrings!

Expect to see them and lots, lots more in the shop later today...

First Look...

I hope everyone had a good weekend? I had a nice one, seeing friends and general merriment. I also received my copy of Orla Kiely's 'Pattern' through the post and spent a good deal of Sunday afternoon lounging in the garden reading it and getting inspired...A very good book indeed.

Anyway, so here I have a little treat for you: A first look at my newest jewellery collection...I am so excited to show these pieces to you in greater detail over the next few days. For now, here they all are hanging out in all of their spring colour glory:

Blossom Pop!

29 Project: Days 294 - 305...

Here it is! The latest update...currently listening to Slow Dance by Matthew Dear. Love that track.

29 project: Days 294 - 305:

Day 294: Sunday 13th March - Sunset through a Donna Wilson cloud. I was kind of feeling like this cloud today. Mark was away for the weekend and I was missing him. Thankfully my mama and papa came over in the evening and made me a big roast lamb. That cheered me up a great deal!

Day 295: Monday 14th March - My eye, Pia's eye. She's such a sweetie that horse. Honestly, she lets me take all manner of silly pictures of her!
Day 295 - My eye, Pia's eye

Day 296: Tuesday 15th March - Attack of the giant Clifford! Roar! I was out picking some daffodils and he came along for the fun of it...He's like a little dog rather than a cat!
Day 296 - Attack of the giant Clifford!

Day 297: Wednesday 16th March - I heart yellow blossoms. More of these I am afraid! I pass them on the way down to the stables...they'll be gone soon and then you shall see no more pictures of them, I promise! In the meantime I am making no guarantees...
Day 297 - I heart yellow blossoms

Day 298: Thursday 17th March - Beginning new things. I have been making new jewels (as you may have seen in my last post here), here are the beginning elements:

Day 299: Friday 18th March - The longest cat in the world. Another cat picture for you, because I am sure you haven't seen enough of those, right?

Day 300: Saturday 19th March - A picture fit for a frame! I have been waiting since last summer for this picture to go in this magnificent frame, both of which are beloved wedding presents. Our wonderful friend Timbatron (not his real name of course, but this is his real website) who took it, brought it over and it was in the frame within the hour. Hurrah!
Day 300 - A picture fit for the frame...

Day 301: Sunday 20th March - Mess, glorious roast mess! I made a roast lunch for friends and made lots of mess. It was much fun...

Day 302: Monday 21st March - A blue kind of day. Printed thunderclouds, attended a funeral and the car popped. Not the most fun day I ever had.

Day 303: Tuesday 22nd March - Equus Printing. Aside from going shopping for a new car, I printed a batch of Equus scarves...The sun was good today, as it has been an awful lot lately. More please!
Day 303 - Equus printing

Day 304: Wednesday 23rd March - My first attempt at Satay, it was lush! It's from jamie's 30 minute meals. Of course it took me a hella lot longer than 30 minutes, and I didn't even consider attempting the desert part, but it tasted so gooood. I highly recommend it.
Day 304 - First ever Satay attempt (it was lush)

Day 305: Thursday 24th March - All that glitters. A fresh batch of Fly High birds arrived, and I set about making them into bracelets for you all...I do love Swarovski beads a lot.

Big Cats!

It's finally here, another addition to my animal print scarf range - Big cats!

The print features a veritable clowder (Did you know that is what a group of cats are called? I didn't...) of leopards, tigers and panthers all getting along amiably and hanging out under the trees and next to a sparkling river...

As always it has been hand printed onto a pretty dusty green cotton/viscose...Meow!

Colour Separations...

Here is another peek at a new design I have been working on lately...It isn't laid out like this in the final piece, but when I am printing out the separate colours for the printing screen set up I like to fit as much as I can on one sheet.

Happy accidents ftw.

Colour separating.
