My journey with wood began back in 1998 when I joined a company specialising in wooden flooring. I fell in love with the touch, texture and smell of the different wood types we worked with. Over the years that appreciation turned into a hobby. In my spare time, I used scraps destined for the log burner and created tea light holders for the table and...

Madeline Gillespie
I have been on such a journey and never in a million years thought I would end up selling my photos. About 12 years ago I wanted to learn photography to take photos of the local area to put up in my house. I am mainly self taught with a few helpers along the way, the biggest YouTube. Probably, my biggest challenge, was for someone who was in their 50s...

A cuddly handmade mohair rabbit
This is a handmade soft rabbit made from mohair, with fully jointed limbs that can be posed a few different ways. It’s been carefully crafted by hand, giving it a bit of character and charm that you won’t find in mass-produced toys. The rabbit measures around 12 inches tall and is made from soft mohair fabric, which feels lovely to touch. Each joint...

Modern Pearl Earrings That Feel Different
Pearl earrings are one of the few jewellery designs that have remained popular for generations. What has changed is not the pearl itself, but the styling around it. Many people still love the simplicity of pearl studs, yet want a little more movement without wearing large statement earrings. Others like the elegance of pearl drop earrings but find...
Not Everything You Feel Needs a Diagnosis
You sit down at the end of the day, and from a purely external perspective, nothing is demanding your attention anymore. The tasks have been completed, the environment has quietened, and there is no immediate requirement to respond, decide, or act. Yet internally, the system does not mirror this change. Attention continues to move, thoughts remain active,...
The Psychology of Scent
Scent is often treated as decorative. A pleasant addition, a finishing touch, or a background detail. From a psychological perspective, scent is far from a background detail. It actively influences how we feel, remember, and focus. Among all the senses, smell has one of the most direct pathways to the brain’s emotional and memory systems. It bypasses...
Handcrafted 18k Gold Necklace
A handcrafted 18k gold necklace that begins with emerald but can also be made with diamond, ruby, sapphire, aquamarine or another gemstone chosen by the client. Created in London by Lena Cohen Jewellery, this design reflects a more personal way to buy fine jewellery, where the wearer can help shape the final piece rather than simply pick from a standard...
Made in London Not Just Designed in London
In fine jewellery, wording matters more than it sometimes seems. “Designed in London” and “made in London” may sound close, but they do not mean the same thing. One may describe where an idea was developed, refined, or branded. The other speaks about where the piece itself was physically made. That distinction matters. A lot of jewellery language...

Im new here
This isn’t so much a blog post as it is an introduction — a simple hello. Just over year ago, I made the decision to hand in my notice as a Producer on a popular podcast and go back to my first love of creating. It was something I had considered for a while, but never felt quite brave enough to make the jump. After I did my art foundation back in...
Bespoke or made to order ring in London
It’s easy to get stuck on the labels when you’re looking for a ring in London. Bespoke, made to order, custom made. They can sound like the same thing, but they don’t always mean the same process, and that’s usually what people are really trying to avoid: surprises with time, cost, or expectations. Bespoke is a ring designed from the ground up around...
Why craft fairs?
The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.
The talent of makers and artists needs a release, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.
Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
