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.

Gears & Cogs


I wanted to create necklaces that were not just pendants hanging from a chain. Not only is the pendant a feature, but the chain is important too.
On this piece, the feature gear is from an old clock, the two smaller gears are from a pocket watch, there are two stamped, brass oxidized gears near the top. Brass ornate connectors & flower connectors give the necklace a feminine & slightly victorian style. With brass & bronze chain & lobster claw clasp.

The Queen Bee


I had a big, brass oxidized bee stamping, but wanted to do something more interesting with it than just hang it on a plain chain. So, I constructed this chain out of brass & copper parts, including brass connectors, copper pronged bead caps, solid brass bead caps & vintage corrugated beads.
The bead & copper pronged cap reminded me of a crown or staff.

Heart Locket Necklace


I think I may, possibly, have an obsession with birds.

This pretty necklace has a lovely heart shaped opening locket, heart charm, beautiful clear crystal glass beads
& the pretty little sparrow charm. On a 30£ sterling silver chain. This one isn't for sale, i'm keeping it for myself. :)

Oval Locket Necklace


A vintage (i'm not too sure how old) sterling silver locket, with a very pretty leaf engraved design on the front, there's a sterling heart charm, clear & plum crystal glass beads & three 1" to 1.5" lengths of sterling chain dangling down. On a 26" mini curb chain with 5cm extender, which has a clear crystal bead on the end.
