Sparking Saturday – Tori Murphy
I love patterns. They soothe my brain and make my eyes relax. Do you remember Magic Eye pictures? I can’t do those because I have the wrong shaped eyeball. (Yes that really is a thing and really why the pictures exist in the first place. They are an ophthalmic diagnostic tool) For me strong geometric […]

Fabric OF Britain – Knitting’s Golden Age.
Last night I spent an enjoyable hour in the company of knitters. BBC 4 had a programme about “Knitting’s Golden Age”. It was very interesting to see which way they took it and it was a safe bet that in the hands of BBC 4 it would be a thoughtful piece with actual facts. I […]

Sparking Saturday – Ndidi Ekubia
This morning I want to share some beautiful silverware with you from the very talented Ndidi Ekubia. I love Ndidi’s work because she sees the world in a similar way to me – My inspirations stem from the patterns of everyday life: from the cityscape of London through to organic natural forms For someone who […]
Sparking Saturday – Four Beautiful Keys
I have had such a girl crush this week. It’s entirely the fault of Haley Key, the designer behind Four Beautiful Keys, and her gorgeous jewellery she creates in her studio in Suffolk. A business inspired by faith & love which Haley incorporates into each design. This is the perfect description of what Haley achieves. […]
