Travels in Textiles

Some pictures of jewellery I've making out of cut offs of Indian printed fabrics, collected buttons, beads and other stuff.

I'll be selling these at the Dignity Craft Fair in Didsbury, Manchester on Saturday 13th March as well as in my Folksy shop online.

    “Gup Shup” is a landmark collaboration. Rather than seeking to preserve craft in its pure traditional form, this project introduces creative strategies to develop new images that seem true to the lives of their makers. But what seems most striking about his project is the sheer quality of the work itself, both in its craftsmanship and deft arrangement of ordinary elements.
