Welcome to my Jewellery Lens

Here you'll find details and photos of my jewellery work and some resources for jewellery makers.

My favourite materials are polymer clay, gemstones, wood and other natural beads I have in my stash. I'm about to start work with PMC silver. I work with techniques from simple stringing to wirework and beyond. My aim is to create high quality unique jewellery.

Latest addition to my Etsy store - the Autumn bracelet

I've added two new items to my Etsy store this week. Firstly, a shell pendant (see my polaroid image below) and secondly an autumn themed gemstone bracelet which I've listed today.

Enchanted Forest Bracelet

Polymer clay leaves on a handmade gold plated chain

This is my favourite polymer clay piece to date. Individually cut and veined leaves, decorated with pearl ex powders and then varnished to a soft sheen. The leaves are then attached to a handmade chain core.

I wanted to make this piece look both organic and magical, believable but not an exact copy of nature.

This is the first piece from my enchanted forest series.

Lampwork Glass Techniques

Titles to inspire your glassmaking

Lampwork glass is beautiful when created by a skilled artist. I don't make my own glass beads, so I'm amazed at how these beauties are created. If you want to learn more about this technique, take a look at some of the books below.

Amazon titles to get you started

A versatile modelling medium, polymer clay is easy to mould and bakes in a domestic oven. With a little practice you'll find it is perfect for making models, jewellery and much more.
