New collections and Art in the Pen, Carlisle

I had a lovely time exhibiting at Art in the Pen, Carlisle at the weekend. It was the first of it's kind in Carlisle and it was wonderful to be apart of this event being in my home town. Thank you so much to everyone that came along and supported the event and also who visited my stand. It was lovely chatting and meeting you all. I also launched some new pieces at the event including these cute little bird house hangings which went down a treat...

...and these new plate clocks...

 

 

Autumn

As Summer has now drawn to a close and Autumn has set in I have put together a few seasonal items

I have chosen pieces that echo, warm Autumn tones such as this vintage inspired butterfly cameo brooch. You can also find this pattern on matching items such as cufflinks, earrings and rings.

 

 Sepia tone flower buttons... A lovely addition to a seasonal garment or textile.

A quirky vintage inspired luggage tag complete with stitched detail edging. Threaded with ribbon making it a lovely addition hanging in your home.

Whether its a special photograph to put on a button, an address or date on an envelope, or a piece of lace from a wedding dress for a decoration.

I also welcome commissions so please feel free to get in touch to discuss any ideas you may have.

To allow plenty of time for the making and firing process I work to approximately a 4 week timescale.

New website



My brand new website!

and here it is... I am really excited to share with you my new website Carys from carys-ink has been hard at work designing my new logo and website and i feel she has really captured the delicacy of my work through the pages. Fragments of lace and post markings that i use within my pieces have been introduced through the site which really gives that personal touch. Laura from kinetic pulse has also been hard at work developing and building the site and bringing Carys' designs to life. They have both done an amazing job and I am delighted with the result and hope you love it as much as i do. You can now buy online, read about me and my work and also keep in touch with me by subscribing to my mailing list. I have been busy taking pictures of my products and uploading these on to the site and i will be adding more over the next few weeks so keep a look out. Also to celebrate the launch of my new website i will be offering a special discount on my product range. I shall keep you posted via my newsletter, if you have subscribed to my mailing list, in the next day or so. In the meantime i hope you enjoy...
