Preparations for Treasure

It's now only 2 short weeks until the Treasure Show at Somerset House (13th - 16th June)

Time has flown since I won a stand, through the Professional Jeweller competition, thanks to all your votes!

Not only will I have a fine spread of Siren pieces for sale, but selected highlights from all my collections & your first chance to preview the forthcoming 'TOLEDO'.

all of which has meant a very busy time in casa bonita!

here's a taste of what's to come...

PROFESSIONAL JEWELLER & TREASURE SHOW COMPETITION

I'm very excited to have just been shortlisted by The Professional Jeweller Magazine & Treasure Jewellery Show to win a stand at the show, during London Jewellery Week.

The Shortlist of 10 designers have been selected by an industry panel of judges, but now the competition is to be 

decided by public vote over the next few days.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CLICK ON THIS LINK & VOTE FOR ME!

& do not hesitate to share this message with friends & family that may be interested in helping.

The annual competition last year created a viral frenzy, with the final tally of online votes reaching 60,869, tripling the 21,690 votes cast during the previous year. 

The 2013 competition has grown again, with a record 65 entries to the competition, dwarfing previous years' entries.

 Professional Jeweller Editor Rachel Taylor  said: "Each year this competition gets that bit stronger - the entries are of a higher quantity and quality, which you can tell from this hugely talented shortlist - and we have always had a year-on-year spike in votes and traffic during the competition. 

SECRET EMPORIUM POPS UP AT BOX PARK SHOREDITCH

I've just re-launched my Summery Siren Collection at a 10 day Secret Emporium pop up shop in Box Park Shoreditch. Opening last friday night with a packed out party, 3 of the 'boxes' play host to a dazzling array of the UK's most exciting up & coming & designers, including Secret Emporium staples (& some of my long-time favourites) E.A. Burns, Kate Gilliland, Grace Du Prez & Diane Turner and Wolf & Moon alongside fresh talent from the likes of Tessa Metcalf, Ali Forbes & MCs scrunchies.

If you havn't yet dropped by, the Emporium will be open till sun 24th March.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE!!! She's My Witch Installation at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes

To Coincide with a rather special Egyptian flavoured exhibition by artist & model-maker extraordinaire Rosy Nicholas, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes asked me to fill some of their display cabinets with a selection of Pharoah inspired treasures from my 'She's My Witch' collection.

A fellow ex- Camberwell student, illustrator, prop maker &, recently, bespoke Shoe designer for Fred Butler, Rosy is a multi talented maker, with a penchant for all things Egyptian & Deco. Combining her skills, influences & unique vision, she transformed the space into a 'fantastical tomb of dazzling morbid luxury' for her show 
"If I should die tonight".

Installed at the tail end of November, it was the perfect glittering backdrop for the bar's busy party season. It runs till the 27th of Jan. So hurry along to catch it before it's too late!

WHO'S MY WITCH #4

GYPSY WITCH : HANNAH CAUGHLIN

Halloween is upon us, & it's time to introduce you to the talents behind the fourth & final face of 'my witch', Hannah Delia Caughlin.

A vision of Hannah as an enchanting gypsy witch inspired my Lucky Coin pieces, &  it was my great pleasure & good fortune to be allowed to realise this vision.

Since graduating from a Graphic Design Degree at St. Martins, multi talented Hannah has been pursuing her main love, music. 

I was lucky enough to catch Hannah performing with her band The Bicycle Thieves & , like hoards of others, was won over by her charming lyrics, beautiful voice & delicate way with a Ukulele.

A captivating front woman & word wizard Hannah has been invited to collaborate with a string of musical outfits, including folk masters The Memory Band & The Accidental, & Roots Manuva's hip hop hub The Banana Klan, as well as writing for pop machine Xenomania. Get a taste here :
