Get your desk in order! These are great for bunging everything in so you've got things to hand. Pens, pencils, scissors, ruler, bits of paper...

Who remembers when I first started my business and made origami wedding flowers? I used to do wedding shows and fairs and had made an array of example bouquets. Well, I still have them; you can't just throw these things away, can you? I'll just have one at a time on display at @nenecourtemporium for a bargain price; if you're interested in one give me a shout!

Trying something new! What do you think? Where would you put this? I think it'd look quite nice sat on a desk.

I was very kindly gifted some colourful scraps of leather. Who'd like to see book necklaces in peach, red or blue? Or should I make something different... book keyrings, maybe?

It's been a long time since I've been to a gallery

It's been a long time since I've been to a gallery, museum or just a different town or city; on Sunday I did all three and it was such a refreshing change. I'd forgotten what this kind of interaction does for creativity! All the places we visited felt safe and we managed to squeeze in lots of delicious food (brown cheese and jam waffle, anyone?).

This is part of the Samson Kambalu exhibition at Modern Art Oxford, and was reflected further in in the gallery in one of his short cinematic pieces.

*LEATHER CHONK ALERT*
Made from the scrappiest of my leather scraps, this journal is A5 with black upcycled paper pages. Each of these will be truly one-offs; one available at the moment from @nenecourtemporium, but I'm making another for my Etsy shop.

Oh, hello copper shimmer. This leather was languishing in someone's basement before I rescued it, covered a handbound notebook in it and polished it up. Shiny!
