Artist, artisan, barely there clump of meat parts. I adore making things out of anything I can lay my clammy little mitpies on.

Please take a look at the archives below or my DeviantArt page for earlier work.

I started making jewellery & other crafty things about three or four years ago. Starting with cutesy, kitsch kind of stuff, & then made a jump towards more Victorian, Steampunk & Gothic designs, dabbling with a bit of silver along the way. I've taken commissions for my work & the majority of these pieces are one of a kind.

Vintage Style Hairband


It's pretty, it's in a vintage style. As vintage as you can get with little resin flowers, bronze tone hairband blank &, oh look, a sparrow sits on top of it all... There's a surprise... I thought i'd end today's update with a bird-themed goody.
Vintage style hairband, little resin flowers adorn the side in dusky rose & cream with a little brass sparrow bird on top.

Vintage Style Brooch


Sometimes pretty things are needed, a break from scary mechanical wonders, spiders & steam.
This is a vintage style brooch. I like this vintage style stuff, I know, I know, jumping on the trend wagon... But it's so pretty & girly...

A little brooch, with bow pin, a bronze tone setting with little resin flowers & faux pearls, with a tiny brass butterfly on top.

Mechanical Heart


I love, & I mean love as an obsession, the only thing that love can be. But not in some weird, dodgy way... I love anything that reminds me of Victorian curios, science & tinkery. The only way in this steam-powered world to fix a broken heart is with gears, cogs & screws, dammit. We just need a test subject now... Maybe we could abduct a bum off the street... Or we could do a Herbert West & dig some up...

Brass heart bead, with tiny screws, gears & cogs from a watch, on a solid brass chain. It's all solid, it's all brass, the only way really.

Monocle & Butterfly


I know the title isn't the most creative, i'll try to come up with something more fitting soon.
Anyway, this is another antique optometry lens, with tiny brass butterfly, brass flower charm & key. With a pretty floral connector, on a bronze plate chain, with solid brass bolt clasp.

She lay down her monocle, next to her botanical illustrations & this tiny, curious butterfly came to rest upon her eye glass.

Arachnoid Mother


I don't like spiders, i'm guessing that you don't like spiders... But we like wearing them. Especially if it scares the straights.... This little darling wants to eat your soul. Brass oxidized spider stamping, mounted on an old pocket watch face, connected to the chain by a pocket watch gear. The chain is joined together to make a web effect.

Migration Necklace


I really adore birds. You could say that i'm a bird fanatic. I don't know what it is, apart from them being so cute & fluffy an' stuff... Ahem... Is the fact that they are truly free, they way they can look down on the world without any of the cares that we have. Yes, it's safe to say that birds are probably my favorite animal. Hence the reason they appear in my jewellery quite often.
This is the "Migration" Necklace.
