Well, I can't quite believe that it's been a whole year since I started Glitter and Earth! I still remember walking round the field with my dogs one misty morning contemplating what to call my 'brand'. I knew I wanted glitter in the title and something else. The mist was very thick that morning (something that happens quite a lot in St Just) and so it was very nearly called Glitter and Mist! I finally decided on Earth though as it sounded grounding and also because I try to be environmentally conscious with the materials I buy. I got to work on my logo in between Tabitha's needs and it came together surprisingly quickly! I had made some stamps, which were great fun to carve out and simply played around with a few arrangements. Sometimes I wish I had put more colour in to reflect the vibrant nature of my work, but I like the earthiness of it. It also makes me feel quite nostalgic now, so I don't think I will be changing it for sometime. This year has given me a lot of confidence and I have my lovely Facebook, Twitter and Instagram followers ( and the lovely Massofhair) to thank for that. I have gone from being nervous about anyone liking my work, to knowing that people do! My mission is simply to find them! My creativity has soared and I feel very lucky to be an artist. I'm learning all the time and I love what I do! Thank you for being part of my journey!

Congratulations on a year of fairy magic. Your work is magical. My daughter Ruby loves looking at your sparkly fairy pictures too and has even recently made her auntie a birthday card in your style and her auntie adored it of course :)
