Since 2021 I have been concentrating more of my time on using established millinery techniques to make hats and fascinators in various media - sinamay straw, parasisal, cork, felt and other fabrics. All hand made.
I make necklaces, earrings, keyring fobs and Christmas decorations crafted from polymer clay cut using cookie cutters.
Most upcycled clothing is for my daughter. Mainly dresses and pairs of shorts so far from old adult cast offs.
My grandmother taught me how to knit. Last year I was involved in some yarn bombing for my local WI. This year I am making cowls and scarves.
I also make jewellery, cuff links, hair slides, bookmarks and Christmas tree decorations using a polymer clay inlay inside metal bezels covered with glass cabochons and in spiral cages.
