New pencils ✏️

Seen these recommended by so many admired artists it felt only right that I get some and see what the hypes about...

Well,.... let me tell you, these do not disappoint. Lovely pencils.

I only use the highest grades of pencils and paper for your portraits.

Another portrait complete ✏️🐾

And just look at that face! 🥹

There’s something rather special about drawing dogs like this — all those curls, waves and changes in direction can have me questioning my life choices halfway through 😂 but then suddenly the eyes come alive, the nose takes shape and there they are, looking back at me from the paper.

This gorgeous face has certainly kept my pencils busy, but I’ve loved capturing all those little details and that wonderfully soft expression. ❤️

Another commission finished and one step closer to catching up after the recent heat slowed my drawing time down a little.

My portrait diary is filling gradually for the coming months, including those all-important Christmas commissions, so if you’ve been thinking about having your horse, dog or much-loved pet captured in graphite, now is a lovely time to get your place booked. ✏️

Hand drawn. Hair by hair. Memory by memory. ❤️
Much love Carrie x

Sometimes a horse doesn’t need fixing.
Sometimes they just need someone willing to listen. ❤️

This beautiful boy was once labelled “dangerous.”
He was sent back, misunderstood and judged for the behaviours people saw on the outside, without anyone really taking the time to understand what was happening underneath.

And then he found her.
Someone who didn’t see a dangerous horse.
She saw a horse who needed time.
Time to trust.
Time to feel safe.
Time to realise that nobody was going to give up on him again.

She gave him patience when perhaps others had run out of it. She listened to him, worked at his pace and, little by little, allowed the horse underneath all those labels to finally come through.
And what emerged was something rather special. ❤️

Today, this once “dangerous” horse is being ridden by her teenage daughter.
And together, they are an incredible team.
I think that's partly why I loved drawing him so much. As I worked on those eyes, I knew the story behind them — and it made this portrait mean that little bit more.

Because somewhere along the way, somebody stopped asking “What is wrong with this horse?” and started asking “What does this horse need?”
And that changed everything.
He wasn't the label he had been given.
He was simply waiting for the right person to see him. ❤️🐴

And she did.

✨ I'm finally on my last June portrait commission! ✨

I'm so pleased to say I'm now working on my final June art commission. Thank you so much to everyone who's been so patient while I've worked through my order bo

ok.

The recent heat has made drawing in graphite much more difficult, so my portrait commissions have taken a little longer than I'd normally like. I never want to rush a piece, and I'd much rather take the extra time to make sure every portrait is the very best it can be. Thank you all for your understanding.

🎄 Christmas commissions are now being booked! 🎄

My diary is slowly starting to fill, so if you'd love a bespoke graphite portrait as a Christmas gift, now is the perfect time to reserve your space to avoid disappointment.

Thank you for all your support—it really does mean the world to my little business. ❤️

✨ The Art of Working with Mane Hair ✨

Every piece I create is handcrafted with the utmost care, but jewellery made from mane hair requires an exceptional level of skill, precision and time.
Unlike tail hair, mane hair is naturally finer, shorter and often more delicate to work with. Each strand must be carefully selected, prepared and woven by hand to create a piece that is both beautiful and durable. The process is considerably more intricate and can take significantly longer to complete.

Because of the additional craftsmanship involved, creations made using mane hair require an additional investment.

Thank you for valuing the time, expertise and dedication that goes into preserving your horse's memories in a truly bespoke keepsake. Every piece is lovingly handcrafted and made to be treasured for generations.

Equuinicity – Where treasured memories become timeless heirlooms. 🤍🐴

There are moments in this job that remind me exactly why I do what I do.

Today I handed over this infinity keepsake, lovingly handcrafted from 36 individual horsehairs. Thirty-six tiny strands that, on their own, seem so insignificant... but together they tell the story of years of trust, companionship, muddy adventures, quiet moments, and a love that words could never truly describe.

As I weave each strand by hand, I often find myself thinking about the horse behind it. The gentle nuzzles, the early mornings, the competitions, the tears, the laughter, the final goodbye...

Horsehair is never "just hair." It's a tangible piece of a soul that has walked beside someone through some of life's greatest highs and deepest lows.

To be trusted with something so precious is a responsibility I never take lightly. Every weave is created slowly, carefully and with complete respect for the bond it represents.

When I finally place the finished piece into its presentation box, I always hope it becomes more than jewellery. I hope it becomes comfort. A conversation starter. A reminder that love doesn't end when moments become memories.

Thank you to every single person who trusts me with part of their horse's story. It is, without question, the greatest privilege of my work.
🤍 Forever connected. Forever remembered. Forever carried.

People often ask me why I create horsehair jewellery.
The answer always takes me back to one very special horse... Cass.

My love for horses started with him. He was the horse who changed everything, and although he's no longer here, I still have a tiny amount of his hair. It sits amongst the most precious things I own. To anyone else, it may just look like a few strands of hair... but to me, it's priceless. It's a lifetime of memories, love, trust and a bond that can never be replaced.

That's why I do what I do.

I know what it feels like to want to hold onto a piece of them forever. I know that horsehair isn't "just hair"—it's part of someone who shaped your life, carried your dreams, healed your heart, and became your best friend.

Every bracelet, pendant and keepsake I create is made with that understanding. I'm not simply making jewellery. I'm preserving stories, celebrating incredible partnerships, and creating something that can be treasured for generations.

I genuinely love what I do. It is such a privilege to be trusted with something so deeply personal, and I never forget that every single strand I hold once belonged to a horse who was loved beyond words.

Cass is the reason this journey began.
And every piece I make is a little reminder that while our horses can't stay with us forever, the love they leave behind never does. ❤️🐴

As an artist, I'm always looking for ways to make my graphite work even more lifelike, and this little addition to my toolkit is already helping me achieve softer transitions, richer depth, and even finer detail.

People often think a pencil is just a pencil... but finding the right tool can completely transform the finished piece.

I'm excited to see where this takes my future portraits, and I can't wait to share the results with you all.

✨ My portrait diary is now open for August, September, October, November, and Christmas commissions. If you've been thinking about having a treasured horse or beloved pet captured in graphite, now is the perfect time to secure your space—especially if you're planning ahead for a Christmas gift.

Did you or your child go to on horseback? If sp please feel free to share. Id love to recreate that special moment in graphite... xx

Thank you all for supporting my little corner of the art world. It truly means everything. ❤️
