 Watch the video here @work recycled jewellery challenge - YouTube
The #recycledparcelschallenge has begun! Jo and Adele from @workgalleries have sent out parcels of items destined for landfill (or juicy rubbish as they put it 😂) with the challenge to make a piece of recycled jewellery. It was certainly a surprise when I opened my parcel, even the packaging raised an eyebrow and a giggle 🤭 I’m feeling a bit baffled, excited and nervous but I’m up for the challenge. Any ideas anyone? Anyone? Thanks again to my amazing niece who did all the video editing. I put my best voice on and admire anyone who can look relaxed and natural on camera #reducereusereinspire #recycle #sustainablejewellery #ecojewellery #savedfromlandfill #sustainableliving #flipflops #moulds #pladtic #colourfuljewellery #jewellerychallenge

Hello February! Can someone tell me where January went please?! It’s been full steam in the workshop and here are some new pieces going off to their new homes ready for the spring #colourfuljewellery #springjewellery #colourfulbangles #anodisedaluminium #handpaintedjewellery #spiralearrings #pinkearrings #cuffbracelet #colourfulaccessories Day 1 of the @scotlandtradefair, the stand is up and the doors are open. It's good to back at the heart of all this creativity and the spring and summer colours have been popular so far. In case I haven't mentioned it before(!) I'm on Stand D65
#springcolour #summercolour #colourfuljewellery #colorfuljewelry #scotlandspringfair #scottradefair #handmade #handpainted #jewellery #summerjewellery #bright #bold  As I traverse my way across the country from Sussex to Glasgow later this week, these pieces will be bundled up and come with me to the Scottish spring trade fair. It’s been a while since I did this show so it’ll be nice to catch up with people and meet some new ones. It’s been quite hard thinking about spring and summer during the winter, especially when the workshop was -4 degrees one morning(!) but I think the orange and blue mottled pieces look very summery. The square-circle necklaces are great if you like layering and easily fit over your head so no fiddling around with fiddly catches. But if colourful chunky is your thing then the larger statement pieces are still in production. #colourfuljewellery #layernecklace #squarenecklace #circlenecklace #scotlandspringfair #nofastenernecklace #summeryjewellery  Cuff bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces have up to 20% off. Have a colourful January! #jewellerysale #colourfuljewellerysale #cuffbracelets #crescentearrings #floralbangle #artjewellery #wearableart #jewelleryoffer #brightjanuary #lightweightearrings #adjustablebracelet #adjustablering #openendedring #spiralring  It's the most wonderful time of the year... I've picked out some wonderful warm wintery colours for the festive season. Bracelets, earrings, rings, brooches and necklaces in golds, greens, reds and purples. Add a splash of colour to your Christmas look! #festivejewellery #warmcolours #colourfuljewellery #cuffbracelet #statementjewellery # #sprialearrings #womensgift #giftidea #anodisedaluminiumjewellery #anodisedaluminium #handmadegift #handmadejewellery #artjewellery
 Time's flying by with just under 2 weeks to go until the @sparklefestivefair at the stunning @landmarkartscentre in Teddington, south west London. As well as all the gorgeous arts and crafts there's independent food stalls with lots of delicious treats. I might treat myself to a mulled wine and mince pie at the late night opening on Friday... Christmas is definitely coming! Two for one with this flyer!
#festivefair #teddingtonlocal #christmasjewellery #christmasgifts #colourfuljewellery #craftfair #christmasfair #sparklejewellery #landmarkartscentre #gettingfestive #241 #twoforone Autumnal tones on this triple twist ring. I’ve been picking fallen autumn leaves on our morning dog walks. Not sure what I’ll do with them yet - spray paint them maybe 🤔- they’re soo pretty I couldn’t resist!
#autumnjewellery #autumnring #twistring #spiralring #pinkorangeyellow #adjustablering #autumnleaves  A single earring is popular at the moment, this one is on a gold chain thread which not only looks elegant but is super comfy too
#singleearring #green #gold #orange #lightweightearring #danglingearring A really lovely commission for a tenth wedding anniversary gift but this time with the colour on the inside. His and her rings with black inside, his having a bronzed finish on the front and hers with satin effect. Aluminium and tin are traditional materials for the tenth wedding anniversary. The belief behind lies in that this is the first milestone and shows the marriage as durable and resistant, strong yet flexible.

It's a fresher, cleaner look than the last one which was long overdue an update 😮 It also has a new logo and brand spanking new pieces in the online shop. I hope you can pop over and have a look and if you have a moment I'd love to know what you think! #colourfuljewellery #colourfulearrings #colourfulring #colourfulbracelet #statementjewellery #handmadejewellery #britishdesign #britishcraft #hurstpierpoint #sussex It’s stiflingly hot in the workshop today so I was sitting in the shade going through the hundreds of photos on my phone (I think we can all relate to that) and I came across this series which I never got round to posting. It’s a quick snapshot of making a cuff bracelet which includes cutting, snipping, smoothing, polishing, forming, cleaning and finally of photographing. I’ve missed out some stages as I forgot to take a photo 🙃 and the quality of some aren’t very good but I think it gives an idea! #jewellerymaking #cuffbraceletmaking #colourfuljewellery #makeabangle #craft #handmadejewellery #handmadejewelry
