As many of you readers have probably noticed from my many Artfire posts, I am in the process of moving house. My studio is half packed, half unbelieveably messy and stacked full of boxes. I do however, have a small space on my desk with the essential tools for my jewelry making so all is not lost! Because of these boxes and the lack of inspiring objects, books, photos and prints in the studio I have been rather distracted recently. Tonight I have made a few new pieces (soon to be on Artfire) but after planning what will move with me and what will stay I have decided to make a promise… I vow to buy ALL of my new home items from handmade, sustainable, unique sellers ONLY! No mass produced, inferior quality products – everything recycled and most importantly of all… Everything handmade! I truely have caught the bug!

What Inspires You?

I have so many things going around in my head at the moment that I seem to be having an inspiration overload!

In this sudden season change people are working on more new ideas rather than staying indoors to concentrate on those hard sales and promotions. I have had several people contact me regarding interviews about my work and my Artfire shopand they all want to know what inspires me. All I can say is I have absolutely no idea! I have no set song, film, object or thing that gives me those sudden rush of ideas.
