I love cobwebs, bugs, hearts, stars, bats, skulls, and bright colours, all of whi...ch feature in my work. I love using reclaimed materials in my work. 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.
