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.

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. 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.

One of my best friends 'The makings of Lea Lou' has just launched a beautiful range of jewellery and it is now available on her Etsy store! I’m absolutely in love with the little bear! I think I will have to be making a purchase very soon. Can't wait to see more fab things from this designer.

Head on over to her blog as well to follow her design processes and inspirations. I will hopefully be doing some joint fairs with Lea Lou in the next coming months.

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.

I couldn't bring myself to eat him so we just cut into the teacup and kept him as mine and Paul’s new pet! Unfortunately on the journey home his ear fell off!!! So we couldn't do anything else but eat him.... possibly the tastiest Pug ever! No pugs were hurt during the eating of this cake.

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 One Aldwych 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! Here are few pictures of paul enjoying his rhubarb and custard candy floss! and chocolate caramel milk.

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. All these are now available on my on-line stores.

So after about 2 years of the initial idea and design my nail transfers are here! last week I posted about our Temporary tattoos and now both are live on our line shop,  yesterday we photographed them here are a few pics.

The nail transfers cost £3.75 for a pack of 36, we will be slowly adding new designs so keep an eye out.

Next week on the blog a little blog post on how to apply them!

I started working on the idea of temporary tattoos and nail stickers about 2 years ago now! and due to just time passing me by they always took a back burner. 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.

I am hoping to slowly add more designs soon let me know any tats you guys would like? These will be available on my on-line soon in the following sets, Afternoon tea, Rule Britannia and By the sea. I am also going to be making temporary tattoo greeting cards so please keep an eye out for those!
