I've been thinking about all the things that find their way onto my bench.
Lots of opals, wildflowers, pieces of scrap silver & gold, lots of tools, half finished coffees next to half finished pieces of jewellery that I've either struggles with or am still working on..
Everything I create has a story to it, and that's what keeps me inspired, thats the real reason behind why I make jewellery.
I've always loved stories, as a kid I remember my mum reading to us and trips to the library were a highlight! Now as an adult I read them myself & relish getting lost in the beautiful worlds that my fave authors create.
What a thrill it is that I now get to share stories in a very unique way & its something I don't take for granted. I'm so grateful that people feel safe enough to share their stories with me. Some of them are beautiful stories, some heart breaking & some completely gut wrenching! It is my little gift to the world to be able to alchemise these stories into tangible pieces of jewellery that help people to heal, or to remember a moment they want to treasure forever..
Lucky me.. xx
