New Places and New Spaces.....

Yes, I know.   Its been a *long* time.

So where to I start?  I know I have neglected my blog for a long time (a recurring theme it appears), but here I go once more, in a desire to share my studio news and design musings.

Its been a pretty eventful year all told.... selling up in Texas, tearful good byes, Transatlantic relocation, new country, new home, new friends and a whole new language to master (but that's a whole other story).  But here we are in the *amazing* city of Copenhagen.  Its a city I always wanted to visit, and I never in a million years imagined I would have the opportunity to live here.   The city is alive - it has a pulse, a life of its own - eclectic, vibrant and beautiful.  An artists paradise!

The famous and picturesque 'Nyhavn' Copenhagen

So here I am sitting in my little home studio in a little town on the outskirts of the city, listening to the wind through the trees.  Autumn has arrived, blowing on to the scene with gusto - and with it I find myself drawn to Autumnal palettes of gems - like this pair of earrings finished yesterday. 

The 'Abundance' Hoop Earrings

Today I'm back in the studio, working on some amazing custom orders - The fabulous 'Lyra' necklace and a special pair of earrings for a friend (who has given me the most wonderful colour palette to work with!).  So, with dark brooding skies overhead and the sound of the wind rustled leaves in the background - I'm off for another coffee and to play with 'Fire and Wire'.
