One messy 'Design Space'

Its been a while since I last blogged, It seems no time at all since talking about starting at design space and now I am almost half way through. It is great being in a shared workshop with all the girls, we really keep each other going. So I am now busy getting ready for the Britsh Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate, I'm working on  a few exciting new quirky pieces so that's been fun. 

This is my bench in the workshop, looking a a little cluttered at the moment. I prefer the term organised mess.

A small preview of what I'm working on at the moment.

Claws!

Design Space

Things have been going rather slowly recently, but hopefully that is about to change as I am now working in a workshop!!! Its brill because its in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham so its pretty great to be in amongst other jewellers!! I am actually really lucky to have this space as it is free and part of a scheme called - "Design Space is a Business Premises facility, part of Solutions for Business portfolio of publicly funded business support." - Thought it might be quicker to copy of the website. But I moved in today and met all the other people il be sharing with for the next year! So now i can make lots of pretty things and show you some pictures of actual work il be doing - watch this space!!!

These are some pictures taken from the Design Space website of the workshop.

Nursery Rhymes for a Nursery

This is some painting work I' ve been doing for Interiors for Kids, an interior decorating company aimed at kids. So thought id share some of the other work I get up to when I'm not making jewellery!

Humpty

Little Bo Peep

Mr Fox

I have managed to acquire this lovely stuffed fox that was about to be chucked out!! Its missing its ears, poor Mr fox, apparently kids have pulled them off as it was used for education for a bit. Going to see what I can create.You can see the plaster that has filled the head and also a bit of saw dust.
