I seem to have reached that age when I'm going to need orthopaedic insoles for my shoes! Waaaaahhhh! 😭 A trip to the podiatrist on Thursday will confirm if I have suspected Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot, so no more barefoot Zumba for me. And my Dr Martens are also being retired... for now. Gonna have to get those boring boomer New Balance trainers out of the cupboard. Next stop...elasticated jeans? 😂... Still I'm feeling young at heart! Here's a cheerful little Rock Pool pendant I put together recently featuring some of my mermaid finds from beachcombing, including that beautiful bright pink seaweed that looks like big red trees in the background. All framed in a limpet ring and captured in eco-friendly resin. Available in my Etsy shop. . . . #rockpool #rockpoolpendant #limpetring #limpetshell #shelljewelry #ecofriendlyresin #pinkseaweed #seaweedpressing #botanicalnecklace #herbariumjewelry #terrariumnecklace #handmadeintheuk #lincolnshirehandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1WUKMtjdK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you to all my North American friends who has visited my little shop for Small Business Saturday today. It's generous of you to support my hand-made endeavours and I'm already in the studio parcelling them up ready to ship to you on Monday so they arrive on time. UK small business Saturday is next week, but they're no need to wait - all my deals are on right now and will continue up until I close for mince pies. . . . Memories of childhood - rock pooling in Cornwall, this necklace is made using a real limpet shell as a rock pool frame and in crystal clear eco-friendly resin sits an arrangement of brightly coloured seaweeds and shells.

Tide pool necklace made using a limpet ring shell that I electroformed in copper and gave a natural rustic verdigris patina. Inside the rock pool are mermaid treasures like conical shells, periwinkles, micro shells and seaweed all carefully foraged so as not to diminish the environment. All encased in crystal clear eco-friendly resin derived from trees. . . . #rockpool #tidepool #limpetshell #shelljewelry #ecofriendlygift #naturalgift #periwinkle #seaweedpressing #mermaidnecklace https://www.instagram.com/p/CVzhoN2AKS3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Check out these crazy salvaged 1970's-esque vintage Murano glass beads that I've paired with two limpet shell rock pools I made to create asymmetrical earrings. They remind me of sea urchins. The limpet shell rock pools contain micro shell treasures including seaweed, periwinkles, top shells and tiny scallops with iridescent fired beads to look like pearls. . . . #seaurchin #limpetshell #tidepool #rockpool #shellearrings #1970s #orangeearrings #seaweedpressings #microshells #limpetshellearrings #inspiredbythesea #beachjewellery #beachearrings #asymmetricalearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CcU1-HctYgv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s that time again. I treated these limpet shell rings to a bath in my copper cauldron and then anodised them with a turquoise or rainbow patina. Now it’s the fun part. Tweezers at the ready! . . . #rockpoolpendant #limpetringnecklace #patina #copperelectroforming #limpetshell #shellnecklace #verdigris #verdigrispatina #shells #seaweed #seaweedpressings (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4fFtRIb9d/?utm_medium=tumblr

The camera doesn’t quite do the green-turquoise iridescence on this copper electroformed limpet shell justice. It’s super sparkly! Anodising patina is such hit and miss experimentation but this one has stayed true and hasn’t changed since I sealed it a few months back. Inside the rock pool pendant is burgundy-orange seaweed, auger shell, starfish, periwinkle, flat periwinkle and wee little cockle shell with an aura bead inside like a pearl. . . . #limpetshell #limpetring #rockpool #starfish #oceannecklace #mermaid #mermaidtreasure #seaweedpressings #shelljewelry #ecofriendlyresin (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUF-wN8A5P0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everything is moving by in a slight blur at the moment. It’s the magic of Christmas I guess. It’s been a busy few weeks for this little caravan Elf and I’m looking forward to cosying up next to the log burner, mince pie in hand and a wee port for good measure in less than a weeks time. I’m the meantime, I’m still shipping until Tuesday 21st normal post and up till 23rd Special Delivery. If you’re in the UK and you’re still stuck for a gift for your loved ones, there’s heaps of UK handmade and vintage small businesses who can still ship to you in time - try @beanandboy @jane_mitchell_finch @driftwoodfish @powleybearbox @smugglershoard @sympaticocrochet @ashwellscrystals @all.that.kitschs.is.gold @karendixon5920 and many more.
