Wearable Art
I make cat themed jewellery. Each piece is handmade and unique. They are coloured with pigments, metallics and resins. The colour reacts as it cures, changing and moving on the surface. The result is quite unpredictable but makes each piece completely unique. Once fully dry the finish is rather like enamel. I make brooches and pendants and even hat pins and they all come in gift boxes.
I have jewellery in the shop and a another selection up on etsy.
