Hi, so sorry, due to tech/photo transfer problems earlier in the day I’m running late & my current small collection made using Victorian & Edwardian charms & lockets will be in my etsy shop at 9.15pm. Apologies-computers aren’t super helpful sometimes. Here are some of the things I’ve made…🦉🌿🐝🌸

A few of the pieces that will be avail in my etsy shop at 8.30pm:3 Edwardian stamp holders (used to be attached to chatelaines) & a beautifully etched vesta case/match holder. All will contain Victorian stamps,tiny drawings of wrens (by me) & miniscule treasures-like wearable cabinets of curiosity 🗝️

WAIT, you were part of one of my workshops? Which one? When? I didn't realise!

I’ve just realised that the darkest ten weeks of the winter are behind us & just now we’re gaining 2 minutes of daylight each day here in the UK. A hopeful thought 🌿

This collection will be in my etsy shop this evening. If you’d like to enquire about or reserve a piece please message me on my etsy page below. I’ll post photos of finished pieces later today 🗝️👇🏼

Small behind the scenes 📷 of materials I’m using atm,incl silver pebble I made (👀),1930s toy poppy,fossils,aquamarines & tiny keys from 18th C writing slopes. Jewellery-making was maybe my first love, dating back to the time before I loved biology & learning how the brain works (ie actual yore/1976)

Sweet peas, cornflowers etc on the left of a sketch book plus my drawings of them on the right hand lane. The pen I used is nearby

A collection of spring nature finds and my drawings of them alongside plus a watercolour palette and my paintbrush in the corner of the image

An autumnal collection of botanical finds with my hand written labels of the and my drawings of them alongside, plus creative materials at the top of the photo

As requested you can now buy a full length recording only of one of my botanical illustration & mental health w'shops.
I teach you how to break down plants into simple shapes & add shading & how creative activity improves mental health.

This is sage advice ✔️💯

The tiny silver propelling pencil, kettle locket (it opens ❤️), acorn & walnut have now been reserved (thankyou!)but the other treasure is still available, including 2 Edwardian stamp holders etched both sides with leaves-would have hung from chatelaines. Link in post below for enquiries/to reserve 🗝️

Hahaaa bags I’m the bee

…the owl will be combined with a little feather I’ve made from recycled silver & a gemstone….🪶

YESSS-this is more likely a 1950s resin charm but I’ll most likely be combining it with the bee in a necklace 🌿

Oof so do I…

I adore it-fully hallmarked, original pencil, propelling mechanism works, so tiny & perfect…

I’ll be listing a new small collection of jewellery pieces made using the Victorian & Edwardian stamp holders, lockets & charms in the photo below tomorrow evening at 8.30pm UK time in my Etsy shop.

A clips from the >3 hr recording you’ll have indefinite access to (I’ll probs be adding 2 recordings tbh so you have winter flowers & here👇🏼summer flowers to learn to draw from)-here’s a snippet of the neuroscience of how looking at plants/botanical fractals improves our mental health:
