About me

   I am from New York, and currently live in Southern England. I spent 5 years in Dublin, Ireland before moving here and used the opportunity to travel extensively to collect materials and inspiration for my unusual designs. I have been knitting and crocheting for as long as I can remember usually working without a pattern to create fabulous scarves, hats, art pieces and more. My interests have evolved into making jewellery, combining my knitting and crocheting skills with the eclectic materials I find in my travels throughout the world. Crystals from Prague, fine floss from Paris, and beads from Spain are some examples. I love to use unexpected materials and you should not be surprised to find, plumbing washers, curtain rings and fishing rope in my designs. I also try to use recycled materials whenever possible and have started writing little poems to accompany each piece.  (my brain never takes a break!)
Each piece comes with my signature crocheted ring attached
