At last my Tiara book is published! Available from Rainbow Disks it features 6 gorgeous, and delightfully different projects, all with matching jewellery, suitable for beginners through to advanced crafters. Perfect if you can't make one of the tiara workshops or as an additional workbook to complement your tiara know how.

Stunning gown designs this year have included a smashing gold Rococo sack-back gown for a highwayman wedding in Leicestershire! Also a beautiful queen of the night creation in blue/black silk and silver satin, sprinkled with Swarovski stars…and a tiara has made it's way to a wedding beneath the northern lights at the Ice Palace. Do look at the Facebook group Kindred Spirits Bridal Originals, for up to the moment photographs and info.

Finally, I've continued to work with the team at Promotional Props and Costumes, our most recent creation: a 12 foot high puppet for musician MIKA's tour. I'm hoping to do plenty more film and theatre in the forthcoming year.

Hello and welcome to my website.

It's been another busy year for me, The Victorian Corset course, in particular has enjoyed continued success, selling out every time! Do keep an eye on the bridal-originals site for new dates.

Burlesque performers, bridal designers, fashion students and home dress makers, even best selling author Katie Fforde joined us for a corset workshop. Katie brushed up on authentic info and dressmaking details for her new novel, inspired by the wedding dress industry, to be published in June 08.

Complete Beading continues to sell very well; I've received some lovely emails from readers.Do keep sending in pictures of your work made using the book. It's currently available from amazon.co.uk . I am hoping to continue writing with some exciting new ideas for projects simmering away….
