Quite a good sleep here in the Norfolk caravan; a couple days of (somewhat) simplicity with sounds of wood pigeons, views of grassy countryside and eating too much bad stuff. I’ve actually started collecting flowers for pressing again (poppies, my fave) + enjoying noticing the little things like old road signs. It’s made me nervously excited about next Saturday, I’m ready to be out in the countryside feeling it like usual - the sticky air, the sound of feet on the trail - not just in a car. It’s too claustrophobic in the car. . . . But speaking of complex simplicity, I bring you my maker no.9 - Lisa Dougan. Her jewellery looks minimal in that it’s quite graphic but it’s very time-consuming. She taught herself how to do the technique shown in the first photo, if I remember rightly, and uses a basic but striking colour palette to enhance the geometrics. Now a maker at a highly popular + distinctive jewellery brand, Lisa is meticulous + caring about what she makes. We each have our labour of love, as is shown with all of the makers I have for my #silentauction, and so bid on this maker and you’ll receive a stunning mystery beaded necklace. I also want this one. @li_dougan . . . #beading #beaded #beadjewellery #labouroflove #geometricdesign #minimal #monochrome #blackandwhite #lines #londonmaker #londonmade #lisadougan #fundraising #fundraiser #charityfundraising #oxfamgb #gurkhawelfaretrust #sponsorme
