Many of my statues, bowls and amulets are hand cast by me - from my original sculptures. The following is an explanation of this process...My originals are created with clay - the air-drying kind. Here's a selection of them...When they are fully dry (this takes about a week), I make a latex mould. This is a very time-consuming process, one that takes at least a day and a half of almost

If I look out through the front windows of my house...I can see the ocean. I love going to the beach - and I go as often as I can to collect Sea Glass. The ocean-dwelling creatures are fascinating and over the years I've created many pieces of jewellery and paintings inspired by the ocean and her occupants.The pendant pictured above is one of my favourites - one I enjoyed creating - and love

Heavy rain. A nightmare when your house is at the bottom of a hill, and at the bottom of your own steep terraced garden. And it's even worse when the drains outside your house get blocked. The road that runs alongside this house can get quite busy and, of course, no one takes any notice of the speed limit.So when the drains get blocked, the road outside gets flooded, the cars and lorries speed

The challenge :Create two display items suitable for use as hatstands, no funding available for materials (with the added bonus of these being available for jewellery display after the hatstand use)So...some old newspapers, a small cardboard box, two balloons, some sellotape, a bag of wallpaper paste and one afternoon of messy fun later, these appeared ! Of course, they needed to be painted or

...go "bump" in the day in this house. And in the night too, according to the previous owners. Their children apparently moved out because they couldn't sleep with all the footsteps and door opening and closing activity. The house was built in 1830, and does have a well recorded history. We've never had any trouble here though - I'll make that clear from the start. If you're looking for The

The storm.Eighty mile an hour winds, torrential rain, hail and general bad weather. Somehow, all that seemed to bypass us, thankfully.We did have a bit of hail and rain, but it wasn't too bad. I'm not sure how the beach has fared though, or that little lighthouse.This was the view outside the house when the storm was supposed to be at its greatest...definately not beachcombing weather !It was

According to the news, the UK is expecting some pretty severe weather...any time now.I'm hoping that it won't get too bad here, but as I can see the ocean from most of the windows in my house I am a bit concerned. I'm not expecting to be flooded, but the concern about structural damage is high. Having said that, this house was built in 1830, so I guess if it's lasted this long already it should

So, I'm not really sure what to do with this blog thing...I guess I'll start with the beach.It's the place where I collect Sea Glass, Quartzes, pebbles and inspiration. My closest beach is just a couple of miles away and is dog friendly, much to the approval of my Dobermann. He loves the beach. Much of the Sea Glass I collect is pale green or white, but sometimes I find some bright blue or
