The hero and focal point of my artisan jewellery is hand made paper.
The Process:
Hand cutting and collecting native grasses that are processed and turned into hand made paper.
I then cut, tare, strip, fold, roll and twist the paper into beads and other shapes.
The paper is sealed to protect it and give it a water resistance, making the paper components hardy and durable.
I use silk, cottons, twine, leather, wood, stone and metals to put together pieces of jewellery that are completely individual and one off. Each piece of paper is one of a kind which means there will never be two beads the same or two pieces of jewellery that are exactly the same.
I love that it is a way for people to take home a piece of the amazing Australian landscape and remember and connect with it each time they put their piece of jewellery on.
