Hello there!

Hi, my name is Alison, I'm an artist and craft maker living and working in Birmingham, UK. I have a background in Fine Art, fashion and textiles and photography, and I like to combine influences ranging from fashion and movies to music and toys to create my designs.

I'm also mom to two gorgeous children - Ruby Ramona, aged three, and Alexander Holden, aged just three months. So, as you can imagine, life is busy right now!

I'm just starting to carve out some "me time" to re-launch my line of textile-based jewellery and accessories (my focus before was on one-of-a-kind and bespoke handbags, now I'm creating some new rings, necklaces, bracelets and purses).

Well, that was going a little too well... I hear young Alex muttering on the monitor so will have to hold that thought 'til next time, when I'll hopefully upload some of my recent designs and other favourite makes of the moment!

ta ta for now
Alison
