Yippeee! I`m so excited to tell you my news!

I have just launched my new Website especially for my Silver Core Glass Beads

www.charmedglassbeads.co.uk

All beads are Designed and Created by myself in my humble Studio in North Yorkshire.

 Please bear with me while I stock the virtual shelves. These photographs give you a taster as to what you can see on there, and what is likely to come. Although, I do surprise myself sometimes when something really unusual falls off my mandrel!

 My designs are greatly influenced by living by the Sea in younger days, and still does even now....

Hope you have a lovely weekend, if the rain ever stops!!

Beads Glorious Beads!

Ola!

I`ve been feeling really rather inspired lately.... I think the energy from the sun is harnessed by my teeny tiny little brain cells producing some.. actually, lots and lots of quite wonderful sea inspired big holed beads.

Ok, well maybe there hasn`t been much sun... and I guess my natural creativity doesnt need much persuasion to create so here goes.... an oceanic little lot for you to  have a peek at.

Hope you like them!

They have proven to be ever so popular with my new ebay customers, who have given me lots of lovely feedback... =)

They have definately been keeping me out of mishchief, that`s for sure.

Hopefully I`ll be able to get out photographing the Dragonflies soon... won`t be long now!

Whatcha doin' still reading... get biddin'!

Thankyou for supporting Handmade.

The past few weeks have been pretty hectic to say the least, cool, but busy.

I was asked by Ben Potter, from Ben Potter Birds of Prey Displays & Shows,

 http://www.birdofpreydisplays.co.uk 

if I could take some photos for his website and advertising.

Obviously I jumped at the chance to have eagles 

and falcons flying full pelt at me, landing just inches from my head. 

Defo up for that!

It was the best few days (I am a bird geek). Really enjoyed it. Cheers guys. lol@youall.com

It looks like Bens team have finished touring this year, but do check their diary for next year... the shows will be even more amazing next year!

Squires Biker Cafe

Squires Bikers Cafe had their Annual Show. I was there for the weekend photographing bikers and their bikes.. I was taken for a rideon one, with a far from sober biker, ha! It was this beautiful red Triumph rocket 3 below...

I met Mark Gowlett there, Owner of REV'DUP Polish Professional Motorcycle Cleaning Products.

Check out his website - http://revdup.org.uk or facebook fanpage - http://www.facebook.com/revdup.polish

The customer Gallery is full of sparkly bikes that have just been given the 'Rev'dup' treatment!

My love of Motorsport has grown stronger since last weekend... guess what?!

 If everything goes to plan I might be going over to photograph the Isle of Man TT next year! how exciting is that!!

Check out Moggy and Pikey on their Captain Americas!

If anyone knows of anyone in the motorsport world.. Bikes / Touring Cars / rally / F1 (hmmmm now that WOULD be awesome!) etc let me know, pretty please! I would LOVE to.

 It reminded me of trogging down to watch the Lombard RAC Rally and Hillclimbs all those years ago, the few days my Dad was around to take us out ha ha! I guess theres a few things I have to thank him for.

I`ve also been playing with some pretty cool photographic techniques that make my photos look like paintings. I visited Plumpton and Brimham rocks, took a few piccies and tadah! this is what I achieved...

Yorkshire Sculpture Park

I recently visited YSP to see Jaume Plensas Exhibition. Men covered in letters from the alphabet.  Its like an English Literature Teachers dream. 

I love Barbara Hepworths sculptures. 

The End.

I hope you have a lovely weekend,

Love and bye,

Otley Show 2011

Yesterday I went to Otley agricultural show with some of my friends. It was such  a fab day, the Birds of Prey team were there, which is the main reason why I went.

http://www.birdsofpreydisplays.co.uk/

The show the lads put on was absolutely brilliant! 

 I think the star of the show was the black kite. He was awesome!  When he was flying around, he was mobbed by two arctic terns! they looked liked angry little angels!! Anyway, Benji stuck a chicks leg in his mouth, the kite swooped down to grab it out of his mouth! I can`t quite believe I managed this shot!!

Gyr Falcon didn`t fail to impress us all.... until he flew up into a tree and wouldn`t come down!

Jerry the Eagle Owl was so vocal, answering Benjis questions with a sqwalk! It was too windy for him. He was blown off course onto a nearby house roof and had to be retrieved. Bless!

In the time it took Joe to retrieve Jerry, Benji let the Barn Owl fly around for a little while. He is so well trained... he found a few perches on some lucky kids gloves. 

I met an ultra talented artist called Nolan Stacey. He draws in pencil. 

There was a print of a Golden Eagle he`d done, I really really wanted. It was incredible. 

His Hare drawings we amazing too. He managed to capture that wildy look in his eye. Check him out here, and you`ll see what I mean -  http://www.nolonstacey.com/

There was crazy New Zealander sheep shearer there too he was sooo funny, a little bit obsessed with sheep... if you know what I mean.
He trained his sheep to dance. He was nuts!!  I forgot the link to his website, but I captured it on video, so I can watch it over and over again... haha!

The pygmy goats and ferrets were so cute too, if a little stinky!

Hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Love,

Bird Of Prey Workshop with Paul Miguel

On Saturday I headed over to Masham for one of Paul Miguels Bird Of Prey Photography Workshops. 

http://www.paulmiguel.com/PaulMiguel/birdsofpreyphotographycoursesyorkshire.htm

Luckily the weather forcasters were wrong, instead of gloomy dullness and showers there were sunny intervals and really good light! 

Luck was definately on our side.

I was completely blown away by the absolutely stunning birds. There was an Eagle Owl, Long Eared Owl, Little Owl, Barn Owl and Gyr Falcon. 

My favourites were the Eagle Owl and Gyr Falcon. It was amazing to b eable to get so close to these birds... I even managed a sneaky stroke of the Eagle Owl.. he was so gorgeous!!

If you can get over for one of these workshops held by Paul Miguel you won`t be disappointed. A yummy lunch was prepared too!

I`d go one one every day if I could!

I have attached a few piccies from the day, I hope you like them.

 The birds are from from Ben Potters Birds of Prey and Displays ~ check him out here. http://www.birdsofpreydisplays.co.uk/flyingdisplays.html
