Anna's Hummingbird

I had made an anna's hummingbird a long long time ago for a lady who was very fond of them. I just finished up my second commission and am delighted with the results...it's nice to see how my work moves on over the years as I develop my skills and techniques further.

New!!!!

These delightful little swans have just appeared in my Etsy shop and will shortly be found on my own webshop too.

They are my newest creations, launched at my open studios weekend and to huge success to my delight!

I can picture them as wedding gifts or even as exquisite cake toppers! but equally simply perched on a shelf in a home or work space, and lovingly admired.

Styling by Emma Cassi

I had the most wonderful afternoon at the incredibly beautiful home of Emma Cassi and her photographer husband Bertrand Bosrédon a few weeks back.

Emma set about arranging my work around her house whilst Bertrand composed the photos. It was fascinating to watch them at work and I was in awe of the beauty of their home, so many gorgeous things filling very little corner.

The photos are just perfect I'm sure you'll agree!

Emma is also a jewellery designer, crafting her pieces by hand from antique lace and beads. They are just as delightful as she is!

Elle Deco and Homes & Gardens

Two lovely press features this month...bit of a game of hide and seek...each image features a bird or two, there's also some butterflies in there...
