“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
- Claude Monet
Who AM I?
Hey, welcome,
I’m guessing you’re here because you’re a nature lover too… or perhaps a little crafty with those hands searching for inspiration?
You’re in safe company here — take all the inspiration you need. And if you’re curiously looking for a custom made artwork, please head over to the ‘Contact’ page.
My name is Jessica Saunders. I live in the South East of England with partner Ben, our two children and sprocker spaniel Bramble (and, up until very recently, six cheeky hens!).
Stained glass found me on my 30th birthday, when Ben gifted me a beginner’s kit. That very same day, I impulsively quit a job I was unhappy in as a birthday present to myself - not knowing what I’d do for work next but knowing in my heart of hearts it had to be colourful & using my hands.
From the moment I opened that box, I fell head over heels in love with this heritage craft and began experimenting with flowers immediately. Obsessed with their healing, uplifting energy and as someone who grows and forages them, it seemed like the most natural path.
A business blossomed quickly, and by the end of my first year, my work was stocked inside Selfridges and featured in magazines. Since then, it’s grown into a livelihood that helps support my family and gives space to my creativity. With the added bonus of bringing a smile to peoples faces and moment for them to savour the light.
If you’d like to follow along on this honest journey of creativity /self-employment / motherhood, you’re more than welcome to subscribe to my journal — it’s where I share more personal stories and thoughts.
Much love for now,
Jessica
