“Jewellery takes people’s minds off your wrinkles.” Sonja Henie

I have always loved chunky jewellery and lately there has been an abundance of it on the catwalks, shops and online, so here are a few of my favorites as well as a few delicate pieces.

Clockwise from top left: Marni AW09, Jason Wu AW09, Donna Karan AW09, Elie Saab AW09, Lanvin AW09, Christian Lacroix AW09

Nina Bukvic

Dominic Jones’s seriously amazing AW09 collection. The 2 thorn knuckleduster would look simply divine on my hand! I think Dominic should accessories the ladies in the next installment of the Twilight series or Alice Dellal, Lizzy Jagger, Eliza Cummings and Emma Chitty should just take their place, they’d make incredible vampires. His collection was photographed by Matt Irwin.

Nina Bukvic saw her jewellery exhibited at the Dazzle during the Edinburgh Festival the earring were stunning, I don’t think they would ever leave my ears if I had the privilege of owning a pair.

Louis Vuitton

Both available at DANNIJO

Antonella Giomarelli another favorite who I saw at Dazzle 2 years ago

Unfortunately I saved this to my computer a few years ago without taking note of who it’s by.

Ohhh, it’s all one big long wish list! I’d better watch Derren Brown’s show tonight to see if he lets on how to predict the lottery numbers.

Monsters

Here are some new monster dolls I have just finished making. I still haven’t come up with a collective name for them so if anyone has a good suggestion please comment. I will be making other shapes soon…

I am in the process of gathering enough stock for an Etsy shop to sell these wee dolls on. I will keep you all posted when I launch it. Remember names for the dolls are always welcome!

Home Made.

Away from my day-to-day job I make jewellery, dolls, bags and other accessories. I was recently given a box full of feathers from my aunt, which had belonged to my grandfather who used to be a keen fly fisher. So I decided to make some hair pieces with them. Here are a few modeled by the lovely Safiya, Thankyou lady!

head band and cuffs

Look how happy you could be wearing feathers in your hair!

Feather hair slide and cuffs

Name and charm necklaces

Here is another one of my Monster dolls with a zippy mouth.

I will post new photos when I make more items and if anyone is interested in buying anything let me know or if anyone wants to go to a fancy dress party as a bird I’m your lady.
