First of all just a wee note on the runic and ‘little dancer’ pendants, I’ve now uploaded these to the shop and they’ve been priced at $7.50 incl. postage … UK buyers wishing to purchase in £ sterling should drop me a note either via the shop or via the contact page here. Now, on [...]

Jolene found this project back at the beginning of July and duly penned her contribution to Ola’s attempt to get 1,000,000 handmade giraffes. The only stipulation for the giraffe’s is that they must not be made on a computer … although I wonder if you could make one out of a computer?! Anyway Jolene talks [...]
I just found out about this great project today and had to share it. It’s certainly ambitious but I don’t think it’s impossible. Ola Helland is a guy from Norway who is trying to collect one million images of “hand made” giraffes by 2011. Besides a bet with a friend, he’s got a deeper reason [...]
Gosh! We’ve been so busy recently, it’s hard to know what to talk about. I’ve been feeling pretty ill this weekend so haven’t yet managed to put together the pattern for the owl brooches.

The more I work with papier mache the more versatile I see it is and the broader my project aspirations become, clearly anybody who has followed my recent work will realise that I have had something of a focus on bowls, which to be fair has been a good place to start providing something of [...]
I have been keen to use some celtic knotwork to decorate some of my pieces, particularly considering that this year is Homecoming Scotland, a year long celebration of Scotland’s contribution to the world at large. Aside from that I do like celtic knots and it seems like a good excuse to have a go at [...]
This elephant was inspired by the Japanese elephant fabric I purchased some time ago from Etsy seller KalenaStudio and an idea from a swap on the popular swapping site Swap-Bot. There was a swap created on swap-bot a few weeks back inviting people to create an ATC using only and all of the primary colours. [...]
