from the apothecary

New from my apothecary is the magic of crystals – those beautiful colours and shapes opens a world of magic and wonder that lets the imagination fly! I am not sure about the powers and healing aids delivered by these fantastic natural objects as I will always be the scientist, but the alchemist in me is lead down a path into another world, drifting away to a place where one might become something of a deeper yet lighter version of oneself. Just belonging to the self and being with oneself and thinking weird and wonderful things that might be conjured up in the imagination and then materialising!
Stay in touch to see what adornments the alchemist has on the way…

perfect chunky biker boots

I was looking for a good pair of ankle boots when I came across the H&M catalogue with the most perfect black faux leather quilted biker boots. Went online only to find these have sold out, so as usual, I was too late! I did manage to find the second best thing - a pair of boots in the exact same style but in not quite the right colour. I went for them. Liked the colour a little bit but really wanted them to be black. So, with a little encouragement from my sister, I painted them and hoped they would turn out okay....

Before & After






 I don't know what you think but I am pretty chuffed!
...now to Zara for the rest of the ensemble!

new jewels...

...in my shop

I cast this elongated pendant in sterling silver, using cuttlefish bone in which the shed antler of a red deer was used to create the unique texture, as a mold... and what I would like to think is the faint visage of a spirit in the woods forever captured in a fleeting moment
