I am often asked where my ideas come from, how do I create new pieces?
The quick answer? Looking and seeing…noticing what is around. Shapes of leaves, the texture of decaying buildings, the colours of fallen leaves in Autumn. Taking photos, sketching, tearing an image from a magazine- finding ways to record and remember those ideas for the future. Not judging those initial thoughts, just storing them for when I need inspiration.
Then, when I’m ready to start a new piece or range of jewellery, I can look back and use these images and thoughts to start my designs
I find it hard to stop when the ideas start to flow!
