Shiny Custard Creams

My lovely little silver custard cream charms have been very popular in 2015, which made me very happy as they are one of my favourite designs! Rather disappointingly, another jewellery company launched a very similar silver custard cream

Shiny Silver Stars

My second obsession, after shiny things of course, is makeup. Since I was a teenager I’ve loved being able to transform my face into something completely different by essentially just doing a bit of colouring in.

My Iced Gems Are Finally Finished!

It's all been a bit hectic recently, what with preparing for the show and inexpert attempts at carpentry, but I've finally finished and photographed my iced gems, hurrah! Each size gem I hand carved in wax,

First Ever Show!

On Saturday I had my first ever stall at a show with the E17 Designers at the Walthamstow Garden Party. Exciting! As always, I gave myself far too much to do and ended up working frantically all week trying to finish everything.

Creating an Iced Gem

More wax carving experiments! I’ve been expanding my collection of shiny biscuits, this time with a little iced gem. Working in 3D still makes my head hurt.

Birthday Jewellery and Fancy Cakes

It was Mum’s birthday recently, so we all went off to afternoon tea at the Ritz, which was amazing! The boy and I have been before, but Mum and Dad have never been. I also made a necklace for the birthday girl,

Silver Cloud Jewellery

Inspired by our peculiarly British obsession with the weather, and inspired by the classic BBC weather symbols, behold my 'Rain or Shine' collection of lovely sterling silver clouds.

A Small Pile of Weather

Shiny weather! Well, alright, it's not at all shiny just yet, this is what it comes back from the caster looking like. Soon, it shall be turned into shiny silver cloud necklaces and earrings and sunshine necklaces too.

New Shiny Project - Gothic/Baroque Initial Pendants

This is one of the new, entirely non-roller derby related projects I have been working on over the past couple of months. I had been wanting an initial charm for my bracelet, which now makes a lovely jingly noise when I type, but could only find very boring fonts,

Spiky Shiny Things

I was having a rummage through my jewellery box before doing a photshoot last weekend and came across some rings I made at college. It appears that my obsession with making things very pointy started a while ago...

New Roller Derby Charm

It may appear from my last couple of posts that I've not been terribly constructive on the shiny things front. Not so! I've been working really hard, honest I have,

Experiments with Goo

I have been having vague ideas about making cupcake charms recently. But how, I thought, would one make the little swirly mountain of icing that traditionally sits atop one? Tricky... But wait! Why not use actual icing equipment? Brilliant, no? Er, not so much actually.
