One of them been to start blogging, I always attempt to blog but it fails pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
I don't normally blog about personal things, I find blogging a difficult task one because I can't write! but also because I think what do people want to read. Do they want to learn about me and my life what's behind the façade or do people just want to keep it nice and see all the pretty stuff? The illustrations, the pictures that capture the odd fun stuff that I do, not real life, so I'm going to put myself out there and write for me a pretty personal blog post. ( I deleted most of the really personal stuff before I pressed publish! not sure i'm ready for that!)<br />
<br />
I find blogs and the whole of social media one of my favourite thing and also one of the things I loath. Why? because I look far too much at pictures on Instagram that portray peoples perfect lives, other designers perfect lives... been successful and doing awesome things all the time! My husband is constantly telling me not to look at social media as it gets me down about where I am with my business and that I haven't succeeded what I want to.<br />
<br />
So what do I want to succeed? I'm not sure to be honest. I just know I love making, I love letting my imagination go into over drive coming up with ideas and new designs. I normally constantly have things going around and around in my head but never do anything about them, but at the moment there seems to be no new ideas. I currently feel like Jodie Anna has got stuck in a bit of a rut and I have fallen out of love with my designs and feel like I need a fresh start. In some ways I do feel like constantly looking at social media has contributed to this rut as I compare myself too much to what other people are doing. But also a lot has happened to me in the passed year, things that have changed me as a person and to be honest I am a little bit lost.<br />
<br />
So the first step to get out of this rut and try and get new ideas my husband has challenged me to go a week with out social media..... a week doesn't sound that long but I think it will be tough!!! So here goes a whole week without social media and to keep my occupied I have challenged myself to do one drawing every day!<br />
<br />
Here goes wish me luck!<br />

blog post about our trip to Italy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">As a year anniversary and late
honeymoon me and my husband Paul visited Sorrento. This is the first time I
have been abroad since I was 16! Italy is one of the places I have always
wanted to visit. We chose Sorrento as we wanted a relaxed holiday and felt Rome
and Florence with all its beauty was more of a long weekend job which we are
hoping to-do next year!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Sorrento was no disappointment
filled with its beautiful scenery, architecture and of course lemon groves as Sorrento
is famous for its Limoncello! Sadly I didn't get to taste this as I can’t drink
alcohol but Paul assured me it was goooood! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">During our visit we took a
private boat ride along the Amalfi coast and across the bay to Capri and Anacapri.
Capri is stunning but be warned it is very expensive if you are wanting a Rodeo
drive experience in Italy this is the place to go if it’s not then make your
way up-to the old town Anacapri for a more traditional experience. I would also
recommend if you have a bit of spare money to take the open top taxi cab to the
top, there is a bus but is very small and very busy and the taxi is really cool
way to travel!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">At the top you reach the old town
of Capri, Anacapri with its traditional eateries and gift shops and of course
some amazing views! If you are feeling daring there is a single person chair
lift which takes you to the highest point of Capri, it takes 13 minutes on the
chair lift to get there to give you an idea of high it is!! Sadly.... I wasn't
daring enough!</span><br />

for a romantic meal across the bay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A studio in a vintage caravan or a lovely attic, but I am very lucky to even have a room and space to call a studio! I am looking to redesign it at some point next year and will be doing some Blog posts about my design process, but for now here a few images of where all the designing, making and packing take place!<br />

After a little break she has recently re launched her shop with lots of new pretties!<br />
<br />
Her work incorporates her love for mid century design and patterns and showcases her amazing ability to combine shape, colour and textures together. Using odd pieces of leather and fabric and the patience to meticulously hand sew each piece she creates unique statement pieces of jewellery.<br />

As part of my new trying to blog about different subjects and things I enjoy doing I have done a little blog post about my week of making and baking........, making and baking a Chuggington Birthday cake for Scarlett as she is obsessed with TRAINS!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all I had to look at the characters as to be honest I was a bit unsure of who Chuggington was! Scarlett made sure I knew all the characters and the names after a lovely afternoon of playing choo choos and saving them from the wibbly wobbly bridge.... I think I may have enjoyed that game more than she did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So first of all I drew up a plan of how I wanted the cake to look, I set about the week before the party modelling the different train charcters for the cake! This part was much easier and more enjoyable than I thought it would be! The worst part which is normally the easiest part was the baking of the cake.... sadly the first cake crumbled and had to bake a whole new one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the cake I used my all time favourite chocolate cake recipe from Primrose bakery cook book... I have to say half way into melting 600g of 70% coco chocolate I did think this cake is far too good for small children!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are stuck for a recipe for chocolate cake try this one from Primrose bakery! it is scrummy!</span><br />

I always find it really hard to decide what to write about when blogging, I try to think about the things I like to read in blogs, Lifestyle, Fashion, Baking, thoughts and aspirations.<br />
<br />
How can I start placing these topics in my blog. Blogging can be a difficult thing as it is sort of a window into your life, I always find it hard to decide what people would like to hear about and what I want people to know about me.
So I am slowly going to try and place more things I like to read in blogs on my blog and also start share a little bit of the life and workings of Jodie Anna! And to start this I am going to share with you some corners of my home!<br />
<br />
I live in a small 18th Century terrace house in a sleepy village in West Yorkshire,<br />

along with my bearded husband Paul one half of <a href="http://www.stottandatkinson.com/" target="_blank">Stott and Atkinson photography</a> and our imaginary pug, I say imaginary as I really want one!!!! and I am slowly talking Paul round!
I love our little house and always try to put our tastes around us to keep us both inspired, I love to collect a range of things some people may see it as hoarding! but I love to be surrounded by objects that make me smile and keep me inspired. I collect objects and keep objects that mean something to me and hold memories. Here are a few shots of the corners of our house,<br />

In these few shots I have included a sneak peak at my passion for collecting 1950's/60's ceramic animals and old cameras! along with my clock which is very special to me as it was the last Christmas present from my late Grandma Mabel and a little picture of my dressing table..... which Paul is wanting me to sell..... NOOOO!!!<br />
<br />
Well thank you for reading and joining me on my new journey to start blogging more about what I like and what I am about.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This week I made the trip up to Hexam to visit one of my oldest friends and her Tearooms '<a href="http://www.thegardenstation.co.uk/">The Garden Station</a>'. Phillipa and her family have been running the tearoom for about 3 years now but this is the first chance I have had to visit and it didn't disappoint!<br />
<br />
<br />
Set in the stunning rural surroundings of Langley on Tyne is this hidden gem, an old railway station that is now a tearoom. Driving up the winding road you come across a sign for <a href="http://www.thegardenstation.co.uk/">'The Garden Station</a>' which leads underneath an old railway bridge where you are presented with the original Station cottage which Phillipa, her lovely husband and little boy now live.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiReT4_7fLnIntCvuB0Wp71-SnrvVVMWTHFo-s1MtrpS3YNkZyIzpB40LoVBL84Ixzf1YCftJ_FgU9eZMSbpILSBn_5ZvgUTBJBws7rR_O16DTYJYTzzGevgFGtYNmVgR4iE52D848v8s/s1600/photo+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiReT4_7fLnIntCvuB0Wp71-SnrvVVMWTHFo-s1MtrpS3YNkZyIzpB40LoVBL84Ixzf1YCftJ_FgU9eZMSbpILSBn_5ZvgUTBJBws7rR_O16DTYJYTzzGevgFGtYNmVgR4iE52D848v8s/s1600/photo+4.jpg" height="640" width="476" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Behind the cottage is the old ticket office where the tearoom is now housed and where the trains once ran through is a stunning walk way leading to the gardens and woods which even still have the original platforms!<br />
<br />
In every corner of <a href="http://www.thegardenstation.co.uk/">The Garden Station</a> you can see Phillipas hard work and vision coming through to create a vintage inspired space, Teacups, Cake stands, Vintage cases, an old shed transformed into a 1950's style ice cream bar..... I was in heaven!
As well as the tearooms there are the surrounding gardens and woodlands, so we went for a walk through the old railway bridges where Phillipa has her very own vegetable patch and small pond full of frogs!<br />
<br />
After a good nosey around we were ready for some yummy Afternoon tea! We had a selection of errrmm basically every cake in the tearoom! yum yum! The chocolate orange cake was divine and we even had the chance to sample some new bakes :-) Chocolate chip and peanut butter shortbreads! As well as a tearoom you can get married at The Garden station! If you are looking for an alternative/unusual <a href="http://thegardenstation.wix.com/gardenstationwedding#!the-reception/c1cq7" target="_blank">wedding venue</a> with a vintage twist this is the place to-do it! I wish I was getting married again!<br />

We had an amazing day at <a href="http://www.thegardenstation.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Garden Station </a>and catching up with Phillipa, I wish this place was closer to home! I’d be there all the time, if you are ever up that way be sure to take a trip to the tearooms.<br />

So A little while ago I posted a Blog post about my new nail transfers and promised a ‘How to’ Blog post, so here it is finally. They are really easy to use and don't require been placed in water beforehand like some Nail transfers, simply cut around the shape and peel off the backing paper.
So step <b>one</b> make sure your nails are clean and dry, you can place the transfers onto nude nails or to add a bit of colour use a nice pale colour just so the transfer stands out more, I used baby pink and baby blue and these colours worked really well with the transfers. (Just make sure your nail varnish is completely dry before applying the transfer). Then carefully cut around the nail transfer you wish to place on your nail
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEAcgKe75cuNTy23pESzcRYzzmv0YRI8TCHWSemcqeqD0ovYjnMNpK0-vcffJZgaRwWtUKSHI_MNqHSyCmOMrivFtFQX2x8jsq5ZMIPodlBD1SEcq4LG3TOt7DZhdzzBb-E1OMQ_pJfLs/s1600/PEA_1686.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEAcgKe75cuNTy23pESzcRYzzmv0YRI8TCHWSemcqeqD0ovYjnMNpK0-vcffJZgaRwWtUKSHI_MNqHSyCmOMrivFtFQX2x8jsq5ZMIPodlBD1SEcq4LG3TOt7DZhdzzBb-E1OMQ_pJfLs/s640/PEA_1686.jpg" /></a></div>
Once you have cut around the image you need to carefully remove the backing paper, you then effectively have a sticker, try to make sure the sticky side doesn’t stick to your fingers and get caught. A good tip to removing the backing paper is to peel them off with some small manicure scissors.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2e4eGDCNI39EuRfQb80wPWkdVXHjFa6zq_dM3WZCgUWiOsjKEOrCxCnrfqK6hS4Z-kuIKaB4z0_SaWhSxhxNJR5-1cbnRLkjLxyMS92H1sgNI_5os74ImAhKwbDzwt4w8ybMQlA4uCs/s1600/PEA_1684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2e4eGDCNI39EuRfQb80wPWkdVXHjFa6zq_dM3WZCgUWiOsjKEOrCxCnrfqK6hS4Z-kuIKaB4z0_SaWhSxhxNJR5-1cbnRLkjLxyMS92H1sgNI_5os74ImAhKwbDzwt4w8ybMQlA4uCs/s640/PEA_1684.jpg" /></a></div>
Once you have removed the backing paper place them on your nails, if they are not in the right position you can carefully reposition them. Once in place just go over them with a top coat! Simple! And to remove them just place them in warm soapy water.

New Circus jewellery range! Roll up Roll up! New Circus jewellery range! I have been working on the idea of a circus range for a while now and finally got my illustrations together! I had these printed onto birch wood and had them laser cut. Here are the original illustrations.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4UcD11PfpfFaEC0cllwdPM3jctlHYrfrXxbBaa6Hzrt6TcjM4fEhx8xvnLDz8N2_53f2oe3prwDm3zHLZebaaNfqDjXf4caZRvcIHvUcGXL6_5OTCiAa1OCtdIKBf13Pwwtpm0zbUs5o/s1600/circus+illsutration+for+blog+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4UcD11PfpfFaEC0cllwdPM3jctlHYrfrXxbBaa6Hzrt6TcjM4fEhx8xvnLDz8N2_53f2oe3prwDm3zHLZebaaNfqDjXf4caZRvcIHvUcGXL6_5OTCiAa1OCtdIKBf13Pwwtpm0zbUs5o/s640/circus+illsutration+for+blog+.jpg" /></a></div>
And here are the pieces printed onto wood, I also played around with the layers of each piece to see how this made the overall piece look.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUwvPaUvBaH0s32c7NeX0akEnTtI_MlOblMPu1Y8os4nr_5iRbqJFi7Miwd_AGM4zS_d4IZuNnlazmYNg4d5kXX6AFH97NEYmFbNnE4DCFsCnlKTwZSociSKGIfbW7fuYpbp8to7Et0M/s1600/circus+images+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUwvPaUvBaH0s32c7NeX0akEnTtI_MlOblMPu1Y8os4nr_5iRbqJFi7Miwd_AGM4zS_d4IZuNnlazmYNg4d5kXX6AFH97NEYmFbNnE4DCFsCnlKTwZSociSKGIfbW7fuYpbp8to7Et0M/s640/circus+images+for+blog.jpg" /></a></div>
I am still working on these and deciding on the layers, the trapeze lady didn't come out how I wanted her to and I am also currently designing matching circus packaging! keep your eyes peeled for their release next month and also some other products other than jewellery in these illustrations.

I just had to do a quick blog post about the amazing pug cake! My friend made me for my birthday. I absolutely love pugs and have wanted one for years...... hopefully one day I will get a real one but but I’m pretty content with this for now! My very own pug in a teacup and all edible and delicious.

So it happened I joined the 30s club! I had an amazing Birthday week! and was very spoilt by my Husband. For my birthday present I was taken to London to See Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

It is one of the best productions I have ever seen, the set design is astonishing and is perfect for all ages! I was still smiling a week after seeing it! You are unable to take pictures during the production, so I guess you will have to go see it for yourself.
But before we went to see the production we visited <a href="http://www.onealdwych.com/food-drink/afternoon-tea">One Aldwych</a> to enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired Afternoon tea, if you go see the play you need to join it with the afternoon tea it will not disappoint. We sat in amazing high backed chairs that really set the mood, the afternoon tea starts with a range of sandwiches and finger foods..... they were delcious but nothing compared to the sweets that followed! We were presented with what can only be described as a feast! (picture taken from One Aldwych website)

'decadent golden eggs to blueberry brioche and playful flavoured candy floss, every item reflects the wit and wonder of Roald Dahl's classic tale' This experince was amazing I highly recommened going to see the show and booking in for the afternoon tea before hand!

The Galleon ship has finally arrived at Jodie Anna! I have been working on this design for a while now as it is the first of my jewellery to be two layers and will be the first of many! This design has been inspired by my love of the sea at first the design was just the galleon and when I had my samples returned I felt like it needed something else and began to play around with adding waves. Here is the finished product,

At the same time I was also designing some new birdies, the flamingo has landed! these little guys are available as a necklace and as earrings. The earrings work really nicely as the legs hang from your ear.

It is something I've wanted to add to my collection for a while so for the passed few weeks I have been putting together my illustrations in collections and created various sets of temporary tattoos and nail stickers and here is a little sneak peek at some of the tattoos that will be available soon.<br />

This week, I headed off to the coast with my mum and dad and my lovely puppy dog Bertie! We had a stroll along the beach and had an ice cream from the famous Harbour bar! Also this week we took a trip to The <a href="https://www.hepworthwakefield.org/" target="_blank">Hepworth gallery</a> in Wakefield for the first time, I loved some of the views from the building and love the picture in the middle of beautiful niece and my sister. Its an amazing place if you are ever in the area it is worth a visit, and its free! Hope you've all had a good week and enjoy the rest of your Sunday xx</div>

I started to-do this a while ago and never kept up to it! so to get the new look Jodie Anna blog off to a good start I will be posting my Friday favourites every Friday.<br />

I am a sucker for just spending hours on the internet looking at pretty things! it maybe a bad quality but it does mean I find a lot of lovely things, places and amazing designers. This week I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite designers, there are so many amazing talented people out there that inspire me on a daily basis. Here are just a few,<br />

For a long time now I have not been happy with using Shrink Plastic, it doesn't produce the high quality that I have been wanting to achieve, it was easily breakable and when producing my work there could be a lot of wastage due to items not baking right or splitting.<br />
<br />
I wanted to keep the jewellery and my illustrations looking the same but wanted the overall material to be different. I have tried a range of options and have finally found a material that creates the look and style I wanted to achieve, but still keeping my illustrations the same. <br />
<br />
WOOD! I have had my illustrations printed onto wood and then laser cut, there have been a few teething problems but they are finally ready! I will be photographing the items next week and they will be available to purchase very soon. I am really excited about using wood and have been busy designing lots of new teacups and cupcakes to add to the current range as well as expanding on my seaside range, which will be available in time for the summer. So here are a few sneaky pics of Jodie Anna in wood!<br />
<br />

<br />
That means sadly no more shrink plastic, but fear not I am working on some 'Do It Yourself' shrink plastic kits, shrink plastic is a brilliant material and you can create some really good products, I am producing some exclusive designs for these kits to let you guys have ago at creating some jewellery your self!<br />
<br />
Moving Jodie Anna forward and working in wood has finally made me fall in love with Jodie Anna again and I am working on lots of new ideas, lots of exciting projects for 2014..... including blogging on a regular basis... I PROMISE.<br />

Thanks for reading!<br />

Jodie Anna will be back on a weekly basis with lots of blog posts!Jodie Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535930536491967806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770712966605503620.post-27917979483951428702012-08-06T10:25:00.000-07:002012-08-06T14:49:24.736-07:00A Beautiful bride.<br />
A few months ago I received an e-mail from a lovely lady called Keli who was getting married in August, she asked me to produce a bunting necklace and bracelet for her wedding. I couldn't think of anything more wonderful than the opportunity to produce an item that would be a part of someones most important day of their lives.<br />
<br />
I set about creating a necklace and bracelet in a range of designs, I also thought it would be nice with this been a keepsake to add something a bit extra, so for the necklace I produced a personalised bunting pendant that went on the back of the necklace with the bride and grooms initials and wedding date on. I really liked the bracelet and produced two different designs for Keli to choose from, I also placed the patterns on both sides of the bunting so which ever way the bunting hung there would always be a pattern on show. Similar designs of the bracelet will be added to my store soon so please keep an eye out, here are a few images of the finished products. I didn't post them earlier as I didn't want the groom to catch a glimpse of them!<br />

<br />
I have been looking recently at ideas for our mini moon, for our honeymoon we are hoping to go to America for a couple of weeks and see San Fransico and lots of other places, but this won't be happening for a good couple of months after our wedding. So as the new craze seems to be mini moons I have been looking at different ideas. I love the seaside and want to spend some where by the coast! and love vintage, so would like to stay somewhere a bit different. One place I have known about for a couple of years now is <a href="http://www.vintagevacations.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vintage Vacations </a>on the Isle of Wight, they have a range of different accommodation including some stunning Air stream caravans. But the one accommodation<span style="background-color: white;"> which caught my eye was </span><a href="http://www.vintagevacations.co.uk/shack.htm" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">The Shack</a>,<span style="background-color: white;"> a stunning shack by the beach, here are a few images</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWjaotYoBSPQ-4c6TjfIdSnVPSGbg8G_Ny0vWRTPxu4aMRBxyovc_7ZKOhIeg1-rzWGe4g3n3eCdOZBgLKoo6HIHrtcYOi4WH7ZqSiVbPSfQBBZisi_RMezhVUWzX5GyMj3WiXYkr5Vnk/s1600/VINTAGE+VACATIONS+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="449" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWjaotYoBSPQ-4c6TjfIdSnVPSGbg8G_Ny0vWRTPxu4aMRBxyovc_7ZKOhIeg1-rzWGe4g3n3eCdOZBgLKoo6HIHrtcYOi4WH7ZqSiVbPSfQBBZisi_RMezhVUWzX5GyMj3WiXYkr5Vnk/s640/VINTAGE+VACATIONS+.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Another option is to stay a little bit closer to home to one of my favourite places in Whitby, <a href="http://www.larosa.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank">La Rosa</a>. When ever we are in Whitby we always make a trip to their tearooms but we have never stayed at the B&B. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">If you are ever in Whitby pop into </span><a href="http://www.larosa.co.uk/hotel/index.html" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" target="_blank">La Rosa</a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> for some tea and cake the surroundings alone are great!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">La Rosa also run a camp-site situated between Goathland and Egton where you can stay in vintage and classic caravans, 'Roma's full of etched glass' a converted truck with a wood burner or a Tipi! and hang the night away in a big top circus with an open pit fire. Recently they've refurbished their onsite barn and opened </span><a href="http://www.larosa.co.uk/swallow-barn.html" target="_blank">Swallow Barn</a><span style="background-color: white;">,. the barn comes complete with wood burner and a roll top bath to create the perfect romantic setting!</span><br />

But this has given me plenty of time to do a lot of looking and a little buying for my wedding. Which by the way is year away on the 29th of June!!!<br />
<br />
Me and my partner Paul want a wedding that represents both our tastes and interests, we both love vintage and handmade so this will be a major part of our wedding day,<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">One of the things that I have wanted before I was even engaged was brooch/button bouquet. So I have </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">started collecting buttons and enamel flower brooches to make my own bouquet and button holes. Here are a few images of the ones I have collected so far, </span><br />

As you can see from the images our key colours are red, blue and white... I think I have a lot more collecting to-do but they already look so lovely altogether.<br />
<br />
Here are some beautiful examples of button/brooch bouquets.<br />

<br />
Over the past few weeks I have had plenty of time to sit and draw! I have lots of new ideas that will slowly develop.... hopefully! One that I have been working on is a new necklace and brooch for my Great British Tea range. Not every body likes tea so decided to create a coffee pot! This was inspired by a lovely coffee pot I found at a charity shop a couple of years ago. It sits in my kitchen window... and mainly contains flowers not coffee! <br />
