Back in 2006 I began making my own quirky jewellery. It
started with plastic character charms and beads. Then one day I bought myself
Captain Red beard, the LEGO pirate with a hook and a peg leg. I fell in love
with him and decided ‘I want you as a necklace!’ He turned out so well I began
to experiment with other LEGO pieces and created a wide range of exciting LEGO
jewellery.
I ran a market stall in Leeds city centre for 5 years,
but it seemed my business sense wasn't as strong as my love of LEGO and unfortunately
I had to give it up. I was supposed to stop jewellery making altogether, but
once you have the creating bug, it’s very hard to give up. I am currently
replenishing my stock bit by bit and am hoping to come back with a vengeance.
Fabrication has been an amazing opportunity for me and I
am forever grateful to Dawn and Andrew for letting me join their enterprise.
All my crafty friends too have been a great support and help to me in this time
of transition. Always look forward and never give up J
