Holiday...

Just back from a fabulous holiday on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey.  Made some new sketches using my new watercolours! (thanks Kasia :D)

New earrings...

I recently went on a very inspiring trip to Kraków, Poland.  Whilst there I fell in love with the work of artist Stanisław Wyspiański, particularly his incredible stained glass.


The colours are just amazing!

And then, for the first time in months and months, I felt inspiration creeping back, and the desire to try out some new jewellery ideas.

influenced by the colours in this wonderful glass:

I also experimented with some other Wyspiański-inspired colours:
Olea

and smaller pieces of embroidered and beaded felt:

Hydro

Berie
I like how these turned out - a little more delicate and feminine than my previous designs, and they all swing pleasingly from the ear when worn!

Now available in my Etsy shop :D

Etsy shop name change...

I have changed my Etsy shop name!  
It felt like putting my own, real, name to my work was the right thing to do.

The 'tastykaeru' address will still work, but from now on my official Etsy shop address is:



:D

Happy New Year...

I'm not sure where my making will take me in 2012... .


One thing I have decided though is to change my Etsy shop name, so in preparation for this, and in celebration of the new year, I am having a sale in my Etsy shop throughout January: using coupon code HAPPYNEWYEAR2012 at the checkout will give 20% off all items.

Happy New Year!
