My Newest Work
Inspired both by my love for the ultimate in fashion and couture and the signatures that belong to Dior, I add my own style and take on fashion and the alternate accessory. My piece "A'Dior" is designed to fit delicately around the wrist and extend from the ring finger creating a stunning addition to the wearers overall look.
Step by Step
from idea..
to completion
The impossible, made possible!
During my early educational years I excelled in working with metals and organic materials and found an interest in creating shape and manipulating materials. Since 2014 I honed my natural skills and abilities to create the most wonderful of pieces of work. My skills are self taught working from my home studio in Lancashire. I love to explore and develop new ways to produce my work, all by hand. Drafting in techniques found in engineering my pieces are incredibly robust and durable despite the delicate nature of their appearance. Other designers have applauded me for my incredible ability to combine these two rare features unsure as to how the impossible becomes possible! I do often get asked by many to offer tuition and talks on how to learn these skills. My work and ideas have also become the inspiration for many other artists and artisans in designer circles
Sparkle and Shine !

ABOUT ME
I am drawn to create complex pieces of work. I love to push the boundaries and test myself further to create such a piece so that when it is viewed one wonders "how was this achieved?"
Before i began to make headwear I designed dresses and clothing and always had a passion for creativity. As a young teen my creativity was in art in abstract drawn objects and sculpture. When my children arrived at the turn of 2000 i parked up all my work to focus on bringing up my children and once they reached their teen years i was able to put more time back into my passion,
I now own my own studio in Lancashire where i see a lot of visitors whose first question is always "do you make these?" ..and always followed up with "How?"
I am drawn to the magical, mythical and wonderful. I believe in Father Christmas and the power of love, laughter and happiness.
Imagine being able experience the joy of waking up everyday knowing you are doing exactly what you love to do and everything you are is devoted to it. In my world we encourage people to believe in their aspirations, we share positivity, celebrate individuality and uniqueness and support thoughts and ideas no matter how obscure they may sound. For these reasons my studio is also a safe zone for anyone who even just wishes to come to talk and express their thoughts and ideas.
