I spent a lot of time with my tiny sawblades in the run up to Christmas this year, making custom roller derby necklaces.

New Weather Jewellery

I’ve recently returned to my shiny weather to finalise a new silver cloud earring design, and also more designs using my tiny sunshine.

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.

As I hand make each piece of jewellery to order, just for you, I need have some sensible cut off dates for Christmas delivery. Get your orders in quick - I'm almost out of roller derby jewellery already!

Skate Helmets - with Wings!

I started making the prototypes for some winged roller derby helmets a while ago now, inspired by my winged skate wheels, and I finally found the time to finish them this month.

New Custom Skate Necklaces

Well, September turned out to be a super-busy month! In between my part-time job and my jewellery, the boy managed to persuade me to leave London for a wedding on the Isle of Wight and a weekend at a lovely cottage in the New Forest.

Silver Party Ring Biscuits!

And so my biscuit obsession continues. It all started so long ago with my little silver custard cream, then escalated somewhat. Now, I've made a silver party ring! Party rings are great aren't they?

New Custom Number Charm

Another custom roller derby number charm on the workbench this week, this time for a bracelet. Each number is cut and carved from eco-friendly recycled sterling silver sheet, so will be completely unique.

Custom Gothic Initial Necklaces

I recently made some lovely little gothic lowercase initial necklaces for a customer. I may have mentioned before how much I love playing with tiny sawblades, so these were great fun to do!

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,

I’ve recently been making some more silver roller derby jewellery. I do like customising my skate necklaces with numbers and team colours!

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.

Silver Party Ring Biscuits

I may have become a little obsessed with tiny biscuits. The latest in my collection of jewellery is a party ring – they remind me of everything that was wonderful about birthday parties when I was a child!

More Iced Gems

My wax carved iced gem has now been cast in solid silver and is, as I suspected, rather heavy! Whilst I love a nice chunky necklace, I know others prefer their jewellery slightly more delicate, so I have been carving my iced gem some smaller friends.

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.

E17 Designers

A couple of months ago now, I was lucky enough to be accepted into my local community designers’ group, E17 Designers. The boy and I first moved to E17 in late 2014 and visited the E17 Christmas Market.

More Shiny Biscuits!

I spent some time this weekend soldering my newly carved and cast cufflink backs onto my silver custard cream and bourbon biscuit cufflinks. I'm really pleased with how they turned out.
