Sakura for Springtime

I hear that the Sakura or Cherry Blossom flowers are just beginning to bloom in Japan. They indicate the beginning of spring and as it is just turning warmer here I thought it would be a good time to show some of my Sakura collection.

Small Sakura Necklace set with Iolite semi-precious stone.

The Cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and springtime. Cherry blossoms are also an enduring metaphor for the fleeting nature of life.

I love the simplicity of the flower with its five double pointed petals and its delicate stamens.

Starting Out

Where to start? Well, I have finally got this blog up and running (sort of)! Please bear with me while I work out how to use it properly. I am slowly learning how to create links and will be adding to the blog as I become more familiar with the set up.

I plan to use this space to keep people informed of what is happening with my Jewellery - new designs, news etc. I also plan to share interests, influences and inspiration with you.

I will be putting links in the right-hand margin so you can access more information on me and my work. I hope to have a link to my shop there soon. In the meantime, please look at my flickr page to see some of my work.

If you have any questions or comments on my work, you can write to me below. I would love to hear from you.
