So you want to know all about me!?!
Since I was a child I have had a passion for trying out all the new crafts I can. I started selling my hand made crafts around 12 years ago - not that I'm old I just started young! I used to sell my items in a very groovy shop here in Portsmouth on the south coast (of England). The shop sold the art and craft works of many talented local people, but sadly that shop is long since gone. All those fabulous unique gems replaced by expensive mass produced "fake fun" stuff.
My passion for making jewellery started when as a teenager. I came across a stall at the local market that sold some beautiful ethnic beads, they seemed a much more appealing way to spend my spare cash. I have enjoyed amassing an array of unusual beads and materials for use in my unique creations ever since. Having had the opportunity to try so many different crafts I have discovered my real passion is making jewellery and have spent the last few years exclusively concentrating my energy on my jewellery designs. I endeavour to always craft every item to the highest of standards to ensure your satisfaction. I'd accept nothing less, so why should you?
I source my materials from all over the globe and the range of materials I use is as diverse as the people who buy my stuff. So whether you're looking for fantastic plastic, really good wood, or my personal favourite - glorious glass, it will be here at some point in some form. I love bringing new purpose to old objects. Lovingly recycling unwanted or broken items into a new piece of jewellery or treasured trinket just for you (or me)! Finding vintage beads or unusual objects to make fantastic new jewellery with. Equally I love being hit by those inspirational bolts of lightning that result in me bringing my ideas to life in brand new one off creations. Going out and searching for just the right components to make my visions a reality or even creating my own.
I get inspiration from so many places. Looking at the beads on my desk, reading up on many different art forms, clothing and pop culture through the decades, my childhood, my dreams, browsing through junk shops and sales, and literally anything that catches my eye.
