I usually ‘spoil’ (texture) my page first AND check a pencil is the right one for the job. The pencil was sharp enough and I didn’t want to wait for the paint to dry so now I must just ploug...

A crown for the Epiphany (posting a day late here) my favourite, glass, crown ring from 2020. Favourite actual crowns are probably those of Princess Blanche, because it is so delicate and Saint Wenseslas beca...

Practicing alignment. Jewel-like, glass, planet orbs shaped and gilded, one at a time, in the flame.

Celestial Bodies, little, gilded planet earrings emerging from rich hou...

Fun with marginalia. While I appreciate minimalism - I adore detail, di...

Sometimes if you want to see the planets to align you have to do it yourself... Happy New Year! I torched these little planets yesterday and made them into Orrery earrings today. Old Year/New Year. A friend provided...

This little, glass, Georgian lion intaglio has been sadly knocked about...

I’ve been taking some time with my favourite books and this is definitely one of them.

Pre-Christmas Aldeburgh, windless silver and deserted, in its own micro-climate.

Happy Winter Solstice! Hoping folks have a better chance of seeing the Great Conjunction than us - yesterday’s perfect skies have given way to clouds and rain. A little pair of glass and silver planets as a substitute.

Before ordering from my shop, some post from this week has been delayed.

A flurry of boxing up and posting, Monday is the last day Royal Mail give for first class post in time for Christmas. HOWEVER there have been delays, if you are looking for guaranteed arrival please contact m...

Only two kings here, a pair of tiny memento mori / vanitas earrings off to mark a special event.

Not an orrery! I have a friend with a nativity collecting ‘habit’, I saw Sebastian Berge’s #minimalist #colour version at the RA shop around this time last year. I didn’t stretch to a ...
