I promised you a more colorful post; here it is. A «collection» with transfers that I colorize. The drawings are quite simple (not everyone can be an illustrator...) but they are mine and they are in line with what appeals to me right now: a clean style. The closing of the...
For this necklace, I used a cane with less contrast. The result is less colorful than what I usually do, but it gives it a nice, different «marquetry» effect. Okay, I'm putting away my slicer and canes for now: the next post should be more colorful.
And there you have it! Many of you played on the blog or on the Facebook page to win my slicer. Here are the results of the drawing (a traditional drawing: names written on small pieces of paper, well mixed, and an innocent hand… yes, my youngest son, despite…
I'm not a great cane maker. I make very few, but Laetitia's workshop reignited my desire to make geometric canes. I started with a square cane that I've been making for a long time, but I evolved it by adding a trick I learned from Laetitia. However, after admiring it for a while...
I just received the latest Polymer & Co in which I had the chance to be interviewed. Thanks Béa! Another issue rich in sharing and discoveries, as it includes a report on the extraordinary organization Sammunat for distressed Nepalese women. I also note Lou's very beautiful text which…
Here are some of the latest pieces of jewelry I've made. But the big news is that I've (somewhat) restocked the online shop... Then I scheduled a few day-long workshops for the coming months. Want to take a peek? The jewelry is HERE and the workshops are THERE.
The recent events have deeply touched me. I think we will all be a little changed by them. What I would like to remember is the beautiful wave of fraternity and solidarity that resulted from it. It's been a week that I've been trying to express what I feel but I can't find the words, so I preferred to express myself...
Yes, you know those good resolutions we make at the beginning of the year... the ones we already made last year at this time... One of my resolutions is to be more present here and there. (Yes, I know this isn't the first time I've said it and not done it...
I don't know about you, but for me, most of the time I'm not really aware of the origin of my inspiration. For some time now, I've been thinking about this creative process. I sometimes find the initial idea again, but most of the time I don't know. For this necklace,...
I'm continuing my search for sleek, practical, and original mounts. This time, no magnets, but a closure at the neckline.
I'm working on new necklaces: the constraints I've set for myself are: sleek, easy, practical... I've opted for a magnetic clasp that's invisible and sits at the neckline. Despite spending a lot of time trying to photograph this necklace, I can't capture the effect it has: you have...
Ouch! It's been over a month and a half since I last checked in here... That's not good! It's not that I've been inactive, far from it, but I'm getting used to my new activity, and despite enjoying it a lot, there are times when it's not always easy. I recently discovered the harsh reality...
Years ago, I chose a lizard for my logo. I probably should have chosen a turtle... yes, because I advance slowly... but I do advance. My new class on CraftArtEdu has just been released. In this class, I present a way to work with acrylic paint on raw clay to achieve beautiful, unique patterns.
Le défilé de la biennale de la danse de Lyon a eu lieu dimanche dernier. Quelques uns de mes bijoux y étaient… pendus aux oreilles de superbes danseuses de la ville de Tarare sous la houlette de la compagnie Fred Bendongué. Hervé Clavreul, photographe de talent a suivi la préparation, les répétitions et le défilé….
Quelques ateliers sont enfin ligne et donc réservables. D’autres arriveront mais pour le printemps et l’été 2015. Vous pouvez trouver un aperçu de mes formations ici : STAGES Suite à plusieurs demandes concernant des ateliers à la journée et concernant les techniques de montage des bijoux, j’ai privilégié des ateliers qui permettent d’aborder un bijou…
A huge thank you to everyone for your lovely comments here or on Facebook. I haven't replied to you personally (well, well done, that's a great start!) but all your messages have truly touched me a lot!
…..d’instit. Et bien voilà ça y’est…j’ y suis : je viens de vivre la dernière journée de ma vie d’instit. Quelle drôle d’impression! Depuis plus d’un an que je peaufine ce changement de direction dans ma vie professionnelle, j’ai eu le temps d’entendre toutes sortes de réactions : « Houaaaa mais tu es super courageuse à…
Voici quelques photos de bijoux réalisés avec une des techniques que je vais montrer aux JAFA cet automne.

I am very happy and particularly proud to announce that my first class on CraftArtEdu is online. It is about foils and allows you to learn how to master foils and create a floral necklace from start to finish, including assembly. It is here: in English and in French. Don't hesitate to also follow my free class...
When I don't have any ideas to start a blog post, I sometimes go browse Mr. Google to see if it can give me some inspiration. Sometimes I stumble upon poetry (yes, really...) or funny sayings and proverbs, and sometimes that allows me to start a...
Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not doing anything. I'm not stopping. Lots of projects coming up at the same time. Some very nice opportunities that make me happy. Wedding decorations to prepare. Here's a prototype, by the way. I picked up the assembly from my very first tutorial which...
Hier, samedi 22 février, ce fut une très belle journée ensoleillée avec les copines de tout Rhones-Alpes! Les iséroises sont arrivées les premières suivies des filles de Savoie, Haute savoie, Rhône, Drôme et Ain. J’ai passé une très belle journée. J’ai fait preuve d’une très grande inefficacité côté polymère mais j’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir…
As I was fuming, grumbling and complaining that no... it was really a hassle to take decent photos of these darned jewels and that the weather, my dear lady, wasn't helping me, and blah blah blah... a friend wisely pointed out that if I couldn't take good photos...
Pour commencer je vous souhaite une belle année pleine de bonheur, de plaisirs et de créativité. Cette année sera pour moi un peu particulière : une courbe sur mon parcours… Et pour bien la commencer, j’ai ouvert une page Facebook : Elle est toute neuve et encore bien vide mais ça devrait se remplir tout…
Some of the latest creations from the workshop. Many have already left... others are in progress, but I'm finally taking the time to finish orders placed some time ago.
