Me at the end of the night. It went great, but by this stage I was glad it was time to go home (actually, just went next door for pizza...then home).

A big thank you to everyone who came along, to everyone that wished me well, and to everyone who helped out (especially Andrew, Jesika, Renata, Georgi, Florence, Chris, and Ella).

Ice Cream Jewellery

Tomorrow night, if you don't already know I'm having a show at Movenpick South Bank . I'm excited about it because ice cream and my jewellery do seem like such a great match. Lollies...Tupperware...ice cream...it always seems to be something food related. Well I guess when all the jewellery you make looks edible, that's what happens!



Tomorrow night, along with all the delicious Movenpick ice cream, I'll be launching a new jewellery range. I'll be incorporating many of the materials I already use, and some of the things I love most. I'll be mixing vintage beads, buttons, kewpie dolls images, and tape measures, with hand moulded resin pieces.

Resin is something that I have been wanting to try for quiet some time. As you may remember my Father was a jeweller. My very first jewellery memory was of him making brightly coloured resin brooches in the room next to my bedroom (obviously OHS wasn't such an issue than!).

I know many of you are coming along to the event. For those of you who are just too far away I'll be posting up lots of images soon.

Congratulation to...

Ice Cream Show!

I'm just working like crazy creating new work for this show! Really no time to talk now. Lots of pics are coming soon.

I love the photo of Pier ( pictured above) looking terribly excited about his new Movenpick shop!

YDM was FAB!

As mentioned below, I decided to give the Young Designer's Market a go last Sunday. I was equally nervous and excited as I drove off to South Bank at 7.30am. Nervous about trying something new. Probably excited for the same reason. But also excited at the opportunity selling at a market allows for meeting new people. something that doesn't happen when you work alone at home. Seeing a couple of familiar faces is always nice too, so thank you to friends and fans (always a little embarrassing to say that), who made their way down and said hi.

Since I'd never visited the market before I wasn't really sure how the day was going to pan out, and if in fact I thought it was a good market to be a part of. So my expectations weren't really that high. Also my goal weren't that high, I wasn't expecting to sell too much, and was looking at it as more of a marketing exercise. It was the end of school holidays after all.

After spending the day there I'd have to give YDM the thumbs up. I thought the market was lovely and had a great atmosphere. I felt completely comfortable there. Also it didn't hurt that I sold well, and got a lot of new people signing up for my mailing list.



My only regret for the day was that I didn't get the chance to walk the length of the market and look through all the other stalls. Guess I'll have to do the market again come November.
