About me

Gender Female
Location Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Introduction Irish jewellery designer, hill walker, beach comber based in Dublin. (I have a day job too.) I wire-wrap & bead jewellery, accessories, bookmarks & ornaments. My main focus is on local materials, such as Irish marble, seaglass and beach pottery. I also upcycle buttons etc and pick up gemstones & pearls whenever I travel.

I also share a glimpse at the beautiful Irish scenery that inspires me.

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

No pirates I have ever met have uttered those words....
