Spotlight on the Seller... Beth Kilburn

A local artist from Leeds with a fascination for all things miniature, Beth preserves her tiny illustrations under clear resin to make unique and charismatic jewellery pieces. Each image captures her affection for funny little characters and sensitive eye for detail. 

Originally a professional actress, Beth's passion for jewellery grew in part from financial necessity. Struggling to find work in 2012, and facing a bleak Christmas, she rediscovered a love of illustration, creating personalised artwork for friends and family. 

Curious for different ways to develop and frame her mini designs, Beth discovered resin and was immediately hooked. Initial experiments were far from perfect, but after a gruelling period of trial and error, her efforts began to pay off. 

Since then Beth has found new ways to create colourful, quirky jewellery pieces using pressed flowers, fabrics, wood, beads and anything else that can be covered in resin!
