About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

ITS A BLING THING!

One man's trash is another man's treasure.  Inspired and made from discarded jewellary laying around in the bottom of my jewellary box.  Every piece is an earring, the chain itself is made from butterfly backs linked with jump rings - really fiddley but well worth it I think!
Have had this bracelet pinned on 'Pintrest' recently. Check it out.


















Inspired by the Snow Queen in the Narnia books.  Ice is nice! Upcycled an old and discarded highstreet necklace - rearranged it a bit and replaced the crystals.  Would be lovley with white fur (faux of course!).

Its a Ring Thing!















Wire rings inspired by and made from upcycled broken or surplace jewellary.  Spent quite a few hours replacing rhinestones and wire findings etc.  Very enjoyable way to spend time methinks!
