There's a beading/ jewellery idea I've had brewing in my mind for a few years, and have been busy behind the scenes doing a lot of beading for, and today I got to begin making it a reality.

Early this morning I headed off to sunny Coggeshall in Essex to visit my sister and her husband at their company Clouds & Currents and spend the day designing, prototyping, chatting and experimenting.

Working with my clever sister, and using the laser-cutter, really got my mind racing with so many possible ideas and fingers crossed I get the time to bring them to fruition!

The exact results will be kept a surprise for a little while but until then you can see a video of the laser-cutter in action here.
