From something broken or tiny or perfect or simple, Sarah has a special gift of spotting & capturing the unique beauty things that some of us may never notice. Today Sarah shares with us some of her favourite things in nature and how they inspire her flamework. - Jenny x

Some sweeeeet colours in nature, and in glass.
And here's my little flameworking corner in the shed.
And again, with the process of flameworking, glass can be used as a solution for displaying fragile findings. (And maybe even wearing them?)
