Craft Hatch Market at the State Library!

It's 11pm on Friday night and I've just finished making and packing away my wares ready for the Craft Hatch Market at the State Library tomorrow. Boy has it been a busy week! Can't wait to get up and get there! The market is from 11am to 4pm and features the work of 25 emerging Melbourne designers. I'll be selling brooches, necklaces and some earrings! Hope you can pop on over and pay me a visit! X em

The Fabulous Design Files

Hello Again! I realise that this is a week late now but better late than never right...? I would like to say a very very very big thank you to the girls at Craft Victoria and The Design Files for giving me the absolutely amazing opportunity of being featured as part of the Craft Hatch Guest Blog on The Design Files. I can't thank them enough for your kind words and amazing support. If you would like to see my interview etc go to

Fantastic Fimo!

Me and my childhood creative medium of choice, Fimo, have recerntly been reunited and boy is it great to be back together! When I was a child in the 1980's I used to totally deck myself out in Fimo accessories including a world globe pendant on a leather strap and 20 cent coin sized dog earrings.....! This weekend I started making some of these (far more restrained) colourful Fimo bead and chain necklaces. I have been enlisting the help of my Papa who is currently visiting from Perth to help warm up and knead the Fimo for me (he's  a good dad!) and whipped up some more beads last night. Stay tuned for more colour combos! Thank you to my gorgeous friends for modelling! x
