Bewildered Unicorn A varied collection from my arts & crafts exploration.

06/07/2026

Just popping in to say hello. My husband is off work for a couple of weeks, so I’m taking the opportunity to slow down a little, spend some time together, and let the creative goblin recharge.

I’ll still be around, just not quite as often. There are plenty of ideas brewing for when I’m back in the studio more regularly.
I hope you’re finding a little time to slow down too, even if it’s just ten minutes of doing absolutely nothing.

Today isn’t a making day it’s a packing day.

These scallop and oyster shell trinket dishes are all wrapped up and ready to head off to this weekend. There’s something really satisfying about seeing a whole batch finished and ready for their new home.

It’s funny thinking these all started as shells collected from the coast before being cleaned, painted, decoupaged and finished with those shiny gold edges. Every one ends up a little bit different.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll probably be a little quieter on here while my husband has a couple of weeks off work. We’re hoping to enjoy some time together (and hopefully a few adventures if the Scottish weather behaves! ☀️🌧️), but I’ll still be pottering away in the studio whenever I can.

Do you enjoy the making part more, or the satisfying feeling of finally packing everything up?

It’s a slow process but painting the gold edges is one of my favourite parts of making these scallop shell trinket dishes.

It takes a tiny brush, a steady-ish hand (mine definitely has other ideas 😂), and a few coats of shimmery gold paint before they’re ready for the final finish.

Every shell is a little different, so no two are ever exactly the same. I love giving something that started as part of the seaside a second life as a handmade piece to hold jewellery, keepsakes or other little treasures.

Sometimes the slowest parts of the process end up being my favourite.

Would you keep jewellery or little treasures in yours? 🦄

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandads and father figures out there.

However you’re spending today, I hope it’s a good one. 💚
