I loved making this.

How cute are these? Every time I look at them, they make me smile. While they don't necessarily contribute to the life of the garden or the quality of the soil, they contribute so much to my own well-being. Sometimes the 'purpose' of an object is simply the happiness it brings.
​I’ve decided to start making these for others who want a little extra joy in their outdoor space! I’m still figuring out the exact cost to cover supplies and the time it takes to create them, but if you’d like one for yourself, please message me and we can talk about the details.

It's Saturday morning, still dark out, can't sleep so playing around with an idea. 🤔

My WIP.

*****Update*****

She’s in! My piece has officially been accepted into the Bold exhibition.

I’m currently prepping the final presentation, and I’ve decided to merge the old with the new. I’m 3D printing this "Organic” stand to cradle the piece. There’s something that feels so right about supporting a raw, impulsive, hand-formed clay sculpture with a digitally "grown" lattice base.

Its organised chaos meets raw energy.

If you’re local, I’d love for you to see it in the flesh! Drop a ❤️ or a comment if you want me to tag you when the full exhibition dates and location details are released.

Where is this year going? The first few months have been a complete whirlwind between work, volunteering, training for the half marathon, and trying to squeeze in family time, crafting, and designing.
I’ve realised I’m spreading myself far too thin and not actually accomplishing what I want to. To protect my mental health, I’ve decided to scale back and focus on what really matters. Family is the priority, and that includes being kinder to myself.
Because of that, I’m stepping back from volunteering for a while. I’m sticking with the half marathon training though, as it’s so good for me both mentally and physically, and work keeps everything else moving.
On the creative side, I’ve been playing around with some jewellery designs. I absolutely hated my first attempt; it just wasn't "me" at all. I had to stop and really think about what I actually like. Pinterest has been brilliant for narrowing down what floats my boat. It turns out I’m drawn to natural materials like wood, metal, leather, and beads. I’m much happier with these new concepts, even though I'm sure there will be plenty of tweaks and redesigns before they're finished.
I am learning that it’s okay to say no to things sometimes so I can say yes to myself. Has anyone else had to do a bit of a spring clean of their schedule lately?

I’ve been having a play with watercolours today. I love watercolours because sometimes you never know what you are going to end up with when colours blend.

I love this way of thinking. ❤️

There’s no getting out alive, so make sure you’re fully alive while inside it. This is literally what you are made for - to love.

I made this because I needed to get some noise out of my head and onto something physical. It’s not "perfect." It’s not glazed, it’s rough, but that is the whole point.
I’m tired of everything needing to be polished and "pretty." This is just raw air-dry clay, some tissue paper I painted and tore up, and some impulsive black ink marks. It’s heavily inspired by that fragmented, slightly "broken" look you see in Picasso and the energy of Kandinsky.
I’m actually putting this forward for a local exhibition. Honestly? I’m sh****ng myself about it. I’ve spent a long time being told my stuff isn’t "good enough," so showing this to anyone feels like a massive risk. But I’m leaning into the chaos of it.
Rough, raw, and a bit impulsive. That’s the vibe.
