It's taken a bit of time but it is finally here..... well the first instalment, The new Circus range. So far we have our Tattooed strong man brooch £13.95, Circus bear brooch £13.95 and Circus Giraffe Necklace! £19.95 And they all come in their very own big top tent! All our new Circus items have been printed onto 3mm think birch wood and then laser cut, we have also carefully added layers to each piece to create a more 3D affect

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Thanks for reading!

Hello,

This a bit of whistle stop blog post, I photographed lots of new items yesterday with the help of the lovely Louisa as my model but due to it been winter... and England it rained and the sun went  in so the light wasn't right to photograph my items, so still got a few items left to photograph. I have added a few items to my Not on the high street so please take a peek. But for now here are a few images.

Hello,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I did, it was one of my best friends hen do and we headed  to the infamous Wetspot at the Wardrobe in Leeds, it was pretty amazing, if your lucky I may post some pics later on.
