Daughter of Moon Lake
A beautiful short story and exquisitely beautiful photoshoot by @katecullenstyle now featured on @rockmywedding
It’s lovely to be able to share some of these gorgeous images by the most amazing team of women. Shot at the historical @bishopspalacewells. I created a bespoke gold and silver crown of leaves, flowers and garnets using all recycled metals and made some new jewellery designs too. Hope you love these images as much as I do.

I can’t believe I haven’t got around to sharing this beautiful film by @katecullenstyle. Anyway, here is something very pretty from a few months back when the sun was shining and the skies were blue and featuring a very special recycled sterling silver crown by me.

Why wear one crown when you can wear two! These are the smallest of my Anemone headdresses so they’re good if you’re looking for a floral headband that is a bit more delicate and isn’t an enormous crown. I can make small headdresses and this one can be made in raw brass flowers or white enamel flowers. Of course, I have to over do it and put two on - turns out it works quite well! Rubbish, rather wobbly video coming up!
OMORFA FYLLA ‘Beautiful Leaves’ - I’m slowly adding my Metal Leaves headpieces to my website so you will find all of the hair pins online, the comb and most of the headpieces (there’s one more to come) The jewellery isn’t on yet and the crowns are very nearly ready. I’m offering a 15% discount off of the new leaves to celebrate my backwards and rather non eventful launch! So, if you enter the code ‘LEAVES15’ at checkout you will receive 15% off your order. I’m working to a four to six week lead time for standard orders at the moment but the silver pieces will take an extra two weeks as they will need to go the Assay office for hallmarking. I can’t quite believe I’ve got them on my website! There will be a beautiful shoot happening at some point in the not so distant future so I’m doing everything in reverse for this collection!

We’ve had such lovely sunshine in Frome today; it’s so good to see blue skies and sunshine and to have the days get longer. I’ve been working on some gorgeous colourful bespoke orders over the last few weeks in all sorts of delicate colours from soft greys and palest pinks to more vivid intense colours. I’ve got a floral comb coming up that I cannot wait to make! I tend not to share my bespoke work (some of them are top secret!) on my grid but occasionally I might put a little glimpse of them onto my stories. I love colour and so it’s always a joy to be asked to create bespoke colours and make something completely unique and personal. Here’s a little look at the journey behind my colourful Peony designs from my current Les Fleurs collection - these are made in shades of coral, mint and silver and remind me so much of the summer.
I’ve been learning lots of things over this last year and have invested in quite a few different courses. At the moment, I’m right in the middle of an absolutely brilliant course called ‘Contented’ with @theferalwriter - it’s really making me think about what I write and why (amongst many other things) and it’s starting to pull together lots of other things I’ve been learning. I’ll write a blog post about it when I’ve finished as it’s fascinating and I’ve promised to write two blog posts a month! I started to try to learn how to use Pinterest last Autumn with the wonderful @katecullenstyle and that platform really is a law unto itself. I’ve been on and off the Pinterest wagon several times since the Autumn and I’m currently back on it! It’s nothing like Instagram and I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it however, it is fascinating to see what posts work and which ones fail spectacularly. Which leads me onto this video - I uploaded the video on the second page to my Pinterest account without really thinking about why and it has been my most viewed video post. I have no idea why it has been so popular! Just goes to show that I’ve got a whole lot to learn about how different social media platforms work. So in the name of research and trying out what works, let’s see how well the same video performs on Instagram. If anyone is interested in following my mishaps on Pinterest, there is a link in my bio which takes you to a selection of options including following me over on the unfathomable platform!
I have finally made a comb from scratch that has worked - here’s a little look at it being made. In the end I think I was trying to make it too complicated so I’ve used a very simple ‘fork’ design for the comb. I’ve made it in recycled sterling silver and brass. They stay in your hair really well so I’m very relieved. I’m having a lot of fun making these leaves the only problem is trying to stop making them and getting the collection out. I can always make more right?!
