As all the ceramic markets are cancelled, I’ve opened my online shop again and filled it with some new piece of handmade porcelain jewellery. Unfortunately it’s not possible to send the glass domes by post so I’ve not added them to my shop. Here’s a little selection of my new porcelain jewellery with a lot…
Dandelions have been blooming and are spreading their sees like tiny parachutes on the wind. Nowadays the boarders of the fields are filled with red poppies and withered shepherd’s purse! Inspired by all these beautiful wildflowers, I’ve been making a few new domes. This glass dome is filled with dandelions in all its different stages.…
I would like to share some new work for my Botanical Stories. It took some time to have these frameworks finally finished. The old frames needed to be repaired (thanks to my handy husband!), the porcelain flowers put together inside and in the end everything got a layer of antique gold paint. Inside this framework…

The garden has lost most of its colours and flowers. Their leaves and petals are covering the ground. I’m on the look out for the last green leaves I want to use in my work. I didn’t thought I would find much interesting shaped leaves but happily I did. I was quite surprised to notice…
Now the ceramic market season is over, I try to focus on creating new work. I’m slowly adapting to my new studio and it feels wonderful to work in this beautiful and peaceful place. Through my windows I’m watching how autumn is making its glorious entrance and changing the color palette of my garden. Oh,…
