After last year taking part in my first #MarchMeetTheMaker and really enjoying it I thought I’m definitely going to go for it again this year. You can keep to to date with my challenge over on instagram @be_charlo
Most of you know that alongside BeCHARLO, I also work at Ladies Visual Impact. And this time of year is ‘buying season’ we’ve been busy buying the next AW collection (yes I know it’s still winter, but it’s all done 6-8 months ahead). we get to go to shows and events…but I take this opportunity to gather ideas as it…
I’m very excited that I’ve purchased a new kiln! And quite frankly I can’t wait to fire it up and start having a go! Since my trip to Morocco I’ve been craving to get some colour into my pieces and what better way than with enamel. I’m looking forward to sharing with you what I make…
This year I was so fortunate to have received a record number of commissions. I was absolutely thrilled and really enjoyed working on a one-to-one basis with many of my customers creating something really unique and bespoke to them. Thank you all so much for your customs and continued support xx
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 to Clare @westwight_sportscentre @thetimes & @vitality_uk Grassroots Sportswomen of the Year Awards #vitalitysports #swoty #vitalitygrassroots ..In the post-award interview, Clare said: “We have such a supportive community on the Isle of Wight and in the West Wight… The last month has been an amazing community effort.” . And I had the pleasure of making Clare’s jewellery…
Taking a trip to Brighton with our jewellery cabin group was not only a great day out, but wow the selection of some of these semi precious stones. Incredible. Let’s just say that all of our bags were a lot heavier by the end of the day.
Sometimes commissions really touch you. This one in particular was one of those. I love how jewellery has the sentimental value of holding memories and making new ones. For me this is one of the parts I absolutely love about making and creating.
We never stop learning. Funnily enough I absolutely hated school (I know hate is a strong word, but this really was the case…ask my poor parents who suffered the protests and the absences). Though since leaving school I absolutely love learning and really thrive on it. Just goes to show. Ironically I’ve achieved so much more academically since leaving school.…
With the new addition of an outlet at Ladies Visual Impact (still beaming with excitement). I’ve been busy creating a new mini trend collection inspired by the summer.
How exciting! This is seriously BIG news! I’m now very fortunate to be stocking my jewellery in independent Ladies boutique Visual Impact, based in Newport, Isle of Wight. With my own cabinet installed inside I can’t wait to be able to share my pieces with you all.
