Sam's Jewellery

My friend Sam is busy with her Masters and asked me to help her out with some porcelain components for her beautiful jewellery. I was happy to help out and made a few porcelain skirts for her pieces. This particular range is inspired by music box ballerinas, remember those? I think what Sam has done with them is incredibly inventive, in the piece pictured below, the dancer spins on the ring! How marvelous! Please visit her blog, where she's written about her jewellery pieces in progress and her thought processes, so fascinating and inspirational. All the best Sam :)

market this Saturday

Yes, the I heart market is on this Saturday at the DLI hall. We've had a break after a very busy December, so this is the first one of 2011 and promises to be a really great one :) New year, new stallholders and new goodies. I'll see you there!

P.S. New times for the market are from 9am till 2pm.
