We had a fabulous evening last night, starting with some fun warm up and then using nature's gifts as inspiration to create artworks. Thank you all who came along and made it special.

🍂✨ Autumn Equinox Collection ✨🍂

As we approach the Autumn Equinox around 23rd September, I’m thrilled to unveil the beginnings of my new beaded jewellery collection, inspired by this magical time of year. Known as Herfest on the Celtic Wheel of Life, this season marks the midpoint between the festivals Lughnasadh and Samhain—a time to honour nature’s abundance.

It’s a time of change and transition: as the vibrant greens of summer give way to the warm browns, oranges, reds, and creams of autumn. Hedgerows are bursting with berries, and the earth prepares for the quiet winter ahead.

My collection celebrates the bounty of this season, reflecting the colours of the harvest and the spirit of Mother Nature. Each piece is designed to carry the essence of autumn—its warmth, its depth, and the promise of nature’s gifts.

✨ Feast your eyes on the hues of the season, and prepare for the cosy days to come. 🍁💫
