  • Magazine and the end of 2010 update

    Sunday, Nov 21, 2010 12:48PM / Members only

    So the magazine was printed and sold nationwide in the UK. I was really happy with the spread they did which you can see at http://www.makingjewellery.com/10-questions19.html . 

    Since then making jewellery went a little on the backburner as work gave me loads of overtime and then deciding to up sticks and move to Beijing. So its all been a big crazy time! But  it is so good to be back in Beijing after spending 2 years pining to come back, finally here I am. My jewellery tools and materials are here with me so it is all good for keeping the creativity of my work flowing. 

    I am also taking part in a Locket Project given by a designer in London. The idea is that lots of lockets are given out and each receiver does something with it, ie; change it or add something to it and then posts it back. On arrival with the designer they will be displayed as a collection.

    So why am I in Beijing? Apart from great food and great company I am seriously looking for a place for my work and also a creative job which will aid my career and my life in Beijing.

  • Making Jewellery Magazine update

    Thursday, Jun 3, 2010 7:50AM / Members only

    Ok, so after much time and effort spent by the photographer, Bel Moretti, illustrator, Tanya Bennett and I, the submission has been sent to the magazine to edit and put together. I sent many images old and new in the end, so that the magazine has a good range. However, the editor chooses the images they want for the magazine from my choice so it will be exciting to see what they do. 
    Meanwhile I keep busy making new pieces for the shops and thinking about new business postcards with the new works on and linking myself with Tanya and Bel through them. 
    I also hope to get some displays made up for shows/ exhibitions I hope to do later in the year, and I am in the process of putting my work for sale online through a design website...
    Keep close for updates!

  • Post Canary Wharf update

    Friday, May 7, 2010 5:28AM / Members only


    So I took down the window display in Canary Wharf at the end of April. business cards seem to have flown out, I only brought a small pile home.  The Monday after arriving home I received a phone call from a British jewellery magazine asking if I would be interested in doing an article. Of course, it being free publicity and sold nation wide I accepted the chance. 
    I am now hooking up with a photographer to take good looking pictures of my 2010 work. I really want the magazine to show something different about my work and portray as more than a simple jewellery designer. I asked Tanya Bennett if she would be interested in collaborating for the magazine with some of her great fashion illustrations and it is going really well. I am hoping when people pick up the magazine and flick through that my page might be the one that grabs their attention and entices them to part with their cash. The deadline to get info and images to the magazine is May 21st and this has jolted me back into making and finishing pieces for photography which have been ideas in my head for a while.
    Watch out for more news!!!

  • Entry #1

    Friday, Mar 19, 2010 6:59AM / Members only

    I have never had a blog before, even though I love to write- simply because I didn't feel I have anything interesting to say. But as this is an 'arty blog' it gives me an opportunity to share my creative side with the world, having my words and images side-by-side.

    As I am building up to a display of my work in London next week I have been reflecting recently on where my work comes from and why it takes its form- perhaps this is a good way to introduce myself in my first blog.

    Most people begin working in design with a concept and drawings. I began with technique. My technique is my foundation, followed by experiments with materials. From material comes manipulation to make something, anything, 3-dimensional and see what happens.
    From this process my flowers and ripples appeared without me really knowing what they were going to be.

    As I grew up in the country and beside the sea, I wonder if the work I have achieved might reflect or be a memory from my childhood. 

    How people feel when viewing my work, and what makes them want to own it is something I am still learning about. My hope is that my audience want to touch it and then experience wearing, and to let their imagination tell them what it is rather than a title to offer explanation. It appears to be fragile but to touch it reveals its strong, robust, hard-wearing properties.

    Details and images of  fresh work I have produced for London will be here shortly, I am currently  finishing a large neckpiece and gradually finishing some smaller pieces. I also have a selection of rings to display in various colours.
