Profile Information

Location:: West Midlands, UK

About Me:

I am an artist and designer/maker working in a variety of media. All items featured here were handmade by me in the middle of the UK - some were made in Birmingham, my home town, some were made in Brierley Hill, where I now live with my partner. I learnt many of my skills on a BA Hons Design: Crafts degree, from which I graduated on the 4th of July 2005.

I specialise in metal sculpture, mainly in wire and beads, which usually come in the form of suncatchers and jewellery. I also create functional sculptures, such as wire hooks and trees from which to hang jewellery. My work is often gothic in style, using nature-inspired shapes such as cobwebs and bats. A love of bright colour runs alongside this, as does a love of equally sunny motifs such as butterflies, hearts and stars. I create higher-end pieces in silver, as well as more affordable items in materials such as steel, copper and coloured wire.

I love using reclaimed materials. I scour second-hand shops for old jewellery to repurpose into new, so expect to find reused chain, beads, and other found materials in many of my items. Search repurposed in my Etsy shop for a few of those.

The other side of what I do is to create original artworks in acrylics on canvas, which I often combine with other media. Again, nature-inspired motifs feature heavily here, as does my love for the more gothic side of things. Trees are silhouetted against bright sunsets, and bats are silhouetted against the moon, while more abstract pieces showcasing my love of colour also feature. The wire work sometimes finds its way onto my canvases too - wire frames, from which the piece can be hung, and sculptural elements become part of the painting, combining form with function.

Repurposeful Crafts

As a varied artist and designer/maker, I like to work in a variety of media. Therefore, reclaimed materials are an important part of what I do, as I take inspiration from what I find.

I love using reclaimed materials in my work. The idea of giving new life to an old, unwanted piece of jewellery intrigues me. I take the bus up to Stourbridge and scour the charity shops for interesting old jewellery to repurpose into new.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with ... S

Is it Sneddonia? Is it Superman? Is it soup?

Nope:

Now do you know what it is? No, Boris doesn't begin with S. Try again, maybe Rosie can help you:… Continue

I know many of us here on Indie Public sell on Etsy but do you also sell on DaWanda?

I am putting together a 5 part blog post over this weekend to talk about how to use DaWanda to expand your business, why it can benefit you, who is buying on DaWanda & what you need to know to be successful there!
