I love cats!
After I’ve made my milo brooch inspired by my black cat called Milo of course, I wanted to make a selection of other cats types like, calico, tabby or black-and-white.
I change my design slightly to make them more cute and this time I wanted to make necklaces. These are still on my bench in the studio at the moment, so I don’t have any finished photographs but I’m hoping to get them finished very soon. with this in mind I wanted to give you the opportunity to buy them if you’d like them and give them a good home.
Each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.
Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.
Each order will be carefully wrapped and posted to you FREE of charge if in the UK. Please contact me for shipping costs anywhere else. If this is a gift and you would also like to add a message please contact me with your details.
I would love to see your photos & hear your thoughts.
