I'm now a working mum of two! Having worked hard to create a business, I'm now managing to juggle working with two toddlers, not the easiest, but planning the day, setting goals with time scales helps. I love my boys, and I love what I do, its finding a way to do both, there is very little procrastinating to avoid paperwork these days! #SBS has given me a mass of new followers on my social networks, orders, and a new network of like minded people..I have been to two SBS events, and look forward to the next one.
I have always had a love of our British countryside, my studio is full of old glass jars filled with fallen leaves, twigs, skulls and dead insects. I collect natural forms that would decay into the ground and be gone forever, take moulds, and fill the cavity that's left with molten metal, creating exact replicas of life in solid silver and gold. I combine the soild silver and gold twigs, snails, beetles, bees and flies with gorgeous stones including diamonds and opals. My inspiration is never ending as each new season or place visited brings fresh ideas and objects to work with. I was awarded Editors Choice by Country Living in 2009, Won silver in the Craft and Design Awards in 2011, and sell internationally. My Hawk moth and poppy ring is worn by Sansa Stark in a Game of Thrones.
Make objects that you love, not what you think people will love. Set tasks for the day, and the week. Bullet point goals for the year in business, and social so you have lovely times to look forward to. If you work on your own, set your tea breaks with an egg timer!
