I started making jewellery several years ago. Mostly in the form of silver-smithing; making torqs, celtic brooches, ear-rings and rings, even making my sister and brother in law's wedding rings, but space, and time forced me to stop. I have, more recently, looked around for a way to create jewellery pieces that will fit into a busy life, and discovered the beauty of beads. After experimenting, I discovered that people liked the items I produced, and asked if I could make for them.
As my experiments progressed, so did my knowledge, and discovery of some amazing people and designers of beads. Different lamp-workers have different designs and loves, always expanding their knowledge, and experimenting with their love of molten glass. Each producing a myriad of beauty, that a jewellery maker tries to enhance. I joined this group having caught the bug, and now design and use my own lamp-work beads in my designs.
My belief is that the beads should work with the piece, and not the piece overwhelm the beads; how to complement and contrast; to develop a piece through it's colour, and form. I hope you like what you see.
I live in a 400 year old cottage in a small hamlet of twenty houses, in the county of Norfolk, I hope you like my site, and the items for sale.
