Photo via markbn on FlickrThis blog is dead as a dodo, isn't it? Allow me to temporarily revive this dusty place in order to explain...Since my last post I've started working for Etsy.com (insert fireworks here). Let me tell you that even from this side of the pond, it's an extraordinary and happy place to be. I've been contentedly writing and curating the UK Edition of Etsy's blog since January

Trend Spotting: Velvet, but not as we know it...

2009-11-16T11:50:00.019Z

Ever since reading The Time Traveller's Wife - in particular that chapter, in which Claire seeks out Henry when they're of a similar age for the first time - I've been hankering after some Velvet to add to my wardrobe. There's something deeply nurturing and satisfying about this luxe fabric.Whether it's a small touch in the details of an outfit or a full length lotr-style robe, I'm all about

The Wish-List Begins...

2009-11-03T01:05:00.011Z

A portion of my living room - all those empty walls!Well... WOW. I always heard that moving home is one of the most stressful things you can do but honestly I can't say I was prepared for the two week, full colour zombie experience. Nevertheless I made it. :)Week 3 has been pretty good so far, I actually feel somewhat human now. Just in the nick of time too, I had a flurry of orders this

Knit-Picking: London Fashion Week's Underdog

2009-09-28T13:15:00.028+01:00

While I've thoroughly enjoyed all the usual media hype surrounding London Fashion Week this year, one story in particular has sent my crafting radar (craft-dar?) into a bit of a frenzied tizzy.The British Fashion Council and UK high street retailer, Warehouse, have teamed up to give one promising fashion graduate the chance to have their collection launched in 10 stores during London Fashion Week

Trend Spotting: The New Houndstooth

2009-09-25T09:55:00.015+01:00

Bird Print Funnel-Neck Dress at Alexander McQueen.comOne of my all time favourite designers, Alexander McQueen has taken a contemporary look at Houndstooth in his Autumn/Winter collection this year. I'm feeling a real M. C. Ecsher influence in his graphic prints and in the surreal, almost impossible curves in his shoe and boot designs.Houndstooth is currently enjoying a major reinvention in both

Artful Events in October: Branding & Accessibility

2009-09-24T10:28:00.012+01:00

This October two entirely different events in London take a varied, yet related approach and are set to challenge views on art and of course, ourselves as artists.The Tate Modern's exhibition Pop Life: Art In A Material World delves into the phenomenon of 'artist as brand', using Andy Warhol's notorious statement that "good business is the best art" as a spring board for exploring the various

Flat Update

2009-09-20T11:13:00.007+01:00

The new flat is shaping up very well indeed and incredibly fast too! I'm due to move in about 2 weeks now, can you believe it? I don't think it's sunk in yet... getting very excited though, the kitchen in particular is looking so hot that I made several squeaky noises when I saw it for the first time.I will have some pictures for you soon, I promise.

2009-05-20T09:54:00.005+01:00

Bright & trashy buckle bangles I picked up in Notting Hill, London.Except for a couple of my own designs that made it to the high street when I was designing for a big company, these are the first items of jewellery I've bought for myself in the whole time I've been a jewellery designer - about 4 years now.I've come over a bit 80s and dare I say it... a bit trashy. And even scarier, I'm loving

2009-05-16T11:15:00.004+01:00

I really was crazy in love with the flat I mentioned a few posts ago. On my last visit to it I discovered that it was only a 10 min walk away from the station and from there only half an hour into my favourite part of town - not an hour as I'd previously thought, because there's a short cut!So I was out of excuses. :) Made an offer & it was accepted!All's done & dusted, I'm just waiting for

Please forgive this uncommonly long post, readers, this story needs to be told. :)On Friday the 1st of May, I sold a NestEgg Necklace to a girl named Holly June Smith.

She told me she was very excited to receive the necklace because it was the first thing she had bought for herself in a

Wow! Check out the amazing artwork of Chiara Bautista, aka Milk on Myspace.I've done a little research and it seems that Chiara's work isn't currently available anywhere.

But I'm going to wait till I hear more to share here. :)In the mean time, I am of course contemplating how I'm going to decorate wherever I end up.

Looking for Love

Looking for Love (8x10 Fine Art Print) by irenesuchockiI've really fallen for one particular apartment in the last week, only problem is that it's a little far from the station (30 mins by bus) and a little too far outside of town for it to really feel like London (an hour to my favourite spot in Covent Garden).But... it does give me the loveliest surroundings and a spare bedroom to work from,

I've been tweeting around on Twitter.com lately. I have to admit that I didn't 'get' twitter until I actually started using it. What's the point of a website dedicated solely to what seems incredibly similar to Facebook status updates? As it turns out Twitter is more than just hearing about what your friends had for dinner 8 hours ago (snore).I have now been sucked in to the world of

2008-10-15T16:32:00.001+01:00

So after many other things got in the way, I declared today to be oxidizing day.First things first, don't forget your latex gloves!I decided to give the silver pieces a quick clean with some ecover washing up liquid and a (never to be used) toothbrush to remove any traces of dirt or oils they had accumulated from being handled. Next I prepared the oxidizing solution: 1 pea-sized chunk of liver

Modest Beginnings

2008-10-10T03:04:00.000+01:00

I bit the bullet and tackled a simple jewellery idea I've had, which has been floating around in my head for far too long, today. Simple is best right now - I'm only just getting used to the quirks of working in Precious Metal Clay (PMC). It's slippery at best and sticky (or dry!) as hell at worst. I think I'm getting the hang of it, though.Because PMC dries so fast, I experimented with some

Here it is!Hasn't Miss Bunny done a fantastic job? I loooove it.(Scroll down for the original.)

Photoshoooot

2008-02-26T15:50:00.002Z

Me & my lovely man went on a bit of a photo shoot in Greenwich today. I need a decent pic of myself for an interview I'm doing in March.This is my fave... I've given it a bit of a camera lens blur in photoshop in this version, but I'm having the super talented Miss Bunny play around with it. Can't wait to see the final results!btw, the necklace you can only just about make out is this one:

BIRD Top

2008-02-21T10:53:00.000Z

BIRD top by Rose La Biche ticks a a whole bunch of my personal style boxes. It's got that modern/classic vibe going on that I feel so drawn to. Very cool design, I love the asymmetry. Something tells me it's super soft to the touch too.

Swallow's Journey

2008-02-19T12:37:00.004Z

Swallow's Journey - Rotation Ring has had a bit of a redesign. Although this has been a popular design, I felt it was in need of an update which has seen the large Turquoise ball replaced with a sleeker disk-shaped bead.It's a simple change, but one that makes it so much more practical, beautiful and easier to wear.The new design is available here: Click.

I had a little fiddle with the pics of Freedom Necklace today with the curves, saturation and blur tools.Before:After:I love Photoshop but I'm certainly no expert!

Equilibre Necklace

As promised, this necklace has now been named Equilibre and is available here: Click.

Denim Owl Jumper

2008-02-12T11:21:00.000Z

Um excuse me... but how freaking great is this jumper dress by newyourkcouture!? I loves it.The owl's feathers are fashioned from recycled denim and it's available in black (as shown) , lavender or hot pink. Check it out here.

No Name Necklace

2008-02-10T17:24:00.000Z

I haven't named this necklace yet but I love its simplicity. It's straying a little from the usual filigree brass bits I usually do for necklaces, which are very opulent.The gem is a pure lavender Ametrine... man I really love these. So dreamy.This yet unnamed necklace will be available within a day or so on Etsy & notonthehighstreet.

Outrageously Huge Amethyst Ring

2008-01-31T18:29:00.000Z

I'd completely forgotten I had these enormous Amethyst rocks, which somehow makes this creation extra exciting for me.This is a cocktail ring if there ever was one! It's show-stoppingly enormous.Perhaps surprisingly it wears very comfortably, although I wouldn't recommend wearing it while doing the dishes.The rock is secured to a deco-style natural brass (100% nickel free) base, which has been

Imaginary Walls

2008-01-25T12:25:00.000Z

Oh, the colours, the vibe, the romance, the ambiance...I'm displaying all the signs - quickening of breath, butterflies and soft, starry eyes. All because I am head over heels in love with helveticaneue's photographic composites, which depict 'imaginary walls'. I just wish she was an architect as well as a photographer.Verdigris:Underwritten:Recognize:Wild and magical. I haven't decided which

Love Birds

2008-01-21T16:07:00.000Z

This dainty little Love Bird Necklace was inspired by a certain love-filled day coming up in February. ;)Available with either a faceted Amethyst or shimmering Labradorite drop. The Labradorite in particular reminds me of a robin's egg.Available now in both my Etsy and NotOnTheHighStreet Stores.

There is Nothing Wrong With You

2008-01-20T10:46:00.000Z

I love this print from SuspectShoppe. There are definitely days when I need reminders like this. Days when I compare myself to others (never a good idea) and question my ways.Here's to embracing the multicoloredness of us. :)

Sterling or Plated, people?I've decided to take the leap into crafting my designs in silver for the first time, using a system called electroplating which I'll be doing from my in-home studio not long from now.What I'd like to know, if you'd be so kind to take my poll (on the right) is this; do you prefer your necklaces with Sterling Silver or Silver Plated chain? Bear in mind that the

FashionSpace.com : A Newbie's Review.What's it all about?First off, what a cool site, I mean really. It's looks hot, is well executed and pages load relatively fast. The option to add our own shops for free is fantastic (although they'll be taking 10% of sales made soon), where you can buy and sell Boutique (meaning brand new), second hand, or engage in some swaps. This along with the 'groups'

My second biggest passion in the world has got to be clothes. I could quite happily and easily go clothes shopping every day of the week and truly feel that it was time well spent.There's just something so gorgeous about walking out of a shop with oodles of new gear that you just know you look fab in. Nothin like it. Almost better than sex.I'm especially into romantic-feeling and unusual items

2008-01-07T13:59:00.000Z

Hmmm interesting...I've just added a new mini shop into this blog (see it on the top right hand side --->). It's a new gadget from paypal and is still in Beta. I'd like to be able to add more pictures for each item, which would give a clearer overall idea of my pieces but it still seems promising to me.Anyone else out there trying this feature?

I'm just back from Greenwich, restocking a gallery that sells my jewellery, and boy is it windy and rainy out there! It's wild!My Fiore earrings are doing pretty darn good at the gallery... the owner has ordered 25 more pairs! Yup, it sure is Christmas time - the market and shops were packed out.I've managed to find time for some new designs too...Tibet Lotus Necklace:Romanzesco Earrings:Water

My new job has really kept me busy lately, although it's very exciting. I'm officially designing jewellery for a number of High Street shops here in the UK. With any luck, in about a years' time (we work that far ahead) I will be sharing some pics and info with you of my designs in the actual shops!I've finally gotten around to taking some photos of a few new and improved designs that I've been

Ouch!I've pulled a muscle in my ribcage, what the...? It hurts like heck and I'm walking around like a stiff zombie. So weird, I didn't know things like this could happen to a 24 year old but there you go. I feel old now!Still I'm getting lots of Etsy time, which is never a bad thing.Last weekend I finally managed to get a design manifested that I've been pondering for a long while. It's very
