Thames Festival up and coming

I've been super busy as I have been preparing for this weekend and next at the Thames Festival, with We Make London.

I will be selling this weekend from 11am until 9pm by the beautiful Bernie Spain Gardens, last year it had some amazing music, I can't wait to see what is going on this year!

I have been busy making lots of brooches and even some new designs too.

These are very fiddly to make but I was so happy with the results...I now need I photo shoot for these little guys and girls!

I hope to catch you over at the Thames Festival this weekend...if you do find me please come and introduce yourself, I would love to say hi!

Colours

Just when you thought spring was on the way, it has turned cold again..bbbrrrrrr

Last week we had warm weather of 18c which is light jumper weather, no coats, boots, scarfs etc then Sunday something happened it got so cold it tried to snow! And as I write this it is trying again!

We need spring to come so I have found a few new colours to brighten up the day....

In the mix I have added some other greens and blues to show the different tones.

Here are a couple of my new pieces that I have painted with some of the up and coming trend colours, Emerald Green, Colbolt Blue and an old favourite of mine teal.

Fingers crossed for a warmer week or even better a warmer weekend!
