My not so mini mix. It's only the second piece I've made in this size - the first one never made it out of my cottage. I claimed that one!

It's got 123 mini shells, sea glass and pottery pieces and sits in a 10" x 10" frame. I can tell you, gluing each little piece was tricky and tested my patience!

But I love looking at the tiny little coastal treasures although this one will make it to my online shop.

I'm contemplating an even bigger piece in the future. What do you think - how many pieces should I aim for?

I can't let it drop.

It's too shocking. Yesterday visited my church part of the They shared stories about the work they do to combat slavery and violence. We heard the story about Cassie, a 12 year old who'd been abused in a horrific way for 5 years each day after school. That shouldn't happen but it does.

My heart is hurting as I replay that story. I did donate online but somehow feel I can do more. So it's a small act but for every heart design frame that's sold until 31 May, I'll donate 50% of the sale to support IJM in their amazing work.

You don't have to buy anything to support them though. Please check out their account to find out more.

I've broken into my sea glass multi collection for one of my latest designs. They're rare pieces of sea glass that have more than one colour in them. Did you spot it?

I'm joining a host of other artists in St Illtuds Chuch, Llantwit Major on 2 May.

As well as many things to swoon over from pottery to paintings and plants, illustrations to glasswork and jewellery, candles to crystals, clothing to cakes and so much more, there's even a duck race. We'd love to see you there 🐤♥️

If you can't visit but you'd like to see my designs, follow the link in my profile.

Heart full of beach love. 🌊💙

Heading home today but of course I'll have to squeeze another beach in on the way. Newborough Sands is an amazing beach. Highly worth a visit for all your beach lovers.

My next wish list is to find some fabulous seaweeds but it's a little early for that. Not great when you're impatient like me.

Have a great weekend all and don't forget we get a whole hour of extra daylight tomorrow onwards 🎉💙

A few of my favourite things - Bobby the dog, a beach and sunlight. January is nearly over. One step closer to brighter days.

Have a fabulous weekend. No chance of beachcombing this weekend for me but I can dream...

I finally found the time to explore something a little different. It's been a while since I made a raised design but I've enjoyed the process of doing a circular design with a difference. I've dug out my favourite aqua shades of sea glass for little pops of colour in amongst the limpet shells.

I'm thinking I should name it Rockpool. What would you call it? 💙💚

I'm going through a circular stage. Maybe it's because subconsciously I know Valentine's Day is around the corner, cue heart designs. But whatever I've enjoyed the opportunity to get creative with a blend of seaweed, shells, sea glass and pottery whenever I can sneak some spare time in. But frankly it's just not enough!

Are you getting to do what makes you happy this weekend? 💙

Couldn't resist the urge to meddle with the sea glass over Christmas. I've made a few sea glass hearts recently that have sold so here's a circle. It represents my love for the aqua shades, it just goes on and on.

I've been collecting sea glass for about 17 years now. There are pieces in many pockets, in jars, on windowsills, in my printing tray. Flipping everywhere. Thankfully doesn't complain.

This one's for sale in my online shop - link in bio - if you're tempted..... 💚💙

Do you have any hoarding or collecting habits that you're not giving up for new year? Let me know in the comments below.....

I've loved it all and I'm grateful to everyone who has bought my artworks, come along to my workshops, liked, commented on and shared my posts. Your encouragement means so much.

I've done my fair share of questioning what I'm doing and criticising my work. Apparently that's normal.

Fact! I'm not going to post daily on here because, well frankly I don't think you need me in your feed that often 🤭

But I'd love to know what you'd like to see more of. Do you want to see:

👀 What coastal treasures I've found
🎨 What new work I've created
🌊 Beaches I've visited
📅 Events I'm at or workshops

Let me know in the comments

Big love 💙
