Green Loveliness from UK!



I was so happy and delighted to be told by my friend Liz from Made in Lowell http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5005589 that I had made the front page of Etsy!

This is the very first time it has happened and I was just a little over excited!

A big thank you to Knottwood for featuring me in her amazing Green Treasury, featuring some amazing Artists from the UK. I was proud to be amongst such Talent. Visit Knotwood's Etsy Shop here, she has some beautiful items : http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5111001 and also at www.knottwood.co.uk

Thanks to Tejae, Lynda and of course Liz for helping get the screenshot to this page.

Enjoy.

A Whole Month?

I cannot believe that it has been a whole month since my last blog entry. As my Teachers would have said "Could try harder!"

I have been busy though - some new things to show you all.

First of all I was very inspired by my Holiday in Cornwall. Beautiful Beaches, Dramatic Cliffs, Huge Waves and lots of Beachcombing!

The North Coast of Cornwall is very wild - and I spent ages collecting various washed up shells, bits of pottery and seaglass and lots of pebbles. So of course I had to have a go at making some Polymer Pebbles.
I was really pleased with the results - so many people have thought they are real and are surprised when they pick them up and find they are so light.



I have also been trying to make some organic shapes. I wanted something airy and delicate, which does not break easily. I am not there yet, but found a new design along the way! Not sure about them, but they were fun - and I think they are just a stepping stone to a new path. We will see. Let me know what you think!















I am hoping to get back into the swing of things now that the children are back at School, so I will have lots more to show you and share with you.
