I will be exhibiting at this special three day show. This will be the last Clerkenwell sale before Craft Central moves to the Forge, on the Isle of Dogs.
Once again I will be exhibiting at this show in Clerkenwell, the heart of London's old jewellery quarter. A rare opportunity to purchase pieces from previous collections and one-of-a-kind samples at up to 66% discount.
The Missoni Art Colour exhibition was a must-see for me as it combines three of my favorite things. Colour, Textiles, and Fashion (with an opportunity to have lunch at the Fashion and Textile museum with my jewellery designer friend Sarah Lindsay)

Read MoreCraft Central will again be throwing their doors open to the public for the bi-annual open studios, 'Made in Clerkenwell'. This is a really lovely show where you can meet the makers and take a peek inside the rabbit warren of studios in the two Victorian buildings on the edge of London's historic jewellery quarter.
I will be exhibiting as a guest in the shared workspace on the lower ground floor, 33-35 St John's Square, EC1M 4DS, showing my current Space Rocks collection along with some sale items and some show specials at bargain prices.

With Valentines day having passed and Mothers day approaching (Sun March 15th 2015), I was reminded of a collection I designed for Spring/Summer 2011. The love letter collection. This was inspired by an old postcard I found, postmarked 1961. It pictured a beautiful bunch of Anenomies . On the reverse was a love letter.
“No flower in all the world would be fragrant or beautiful enough to represent you. The surprise and freshness of a snowdrop, the scarlet excitement of roses the wistful tenderness of chrysanthemums. These are just three of the things you are!”
I loved how the author had personalised the poem "Roses are red Violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you" It reminded me of the romance of an English garden in summertime, filled with heady scented blooms, and the buzzing of bees.
Elegant pale pink Rose Quartz, pretty pink Freshwater Pearl, soft aqua Amazonite, with zingy acid-green Serpentine, and cool grey Labradorite.
Vibrant Turquoise, citrus orange Carnelian, bright white Freshwater Pearl, translucent lavender Amethyst, with sparkling Rock Crystal and Drusy agate.
Here are a selection of pieces from the Love Letter Collection, SS 2011.
