Lots of lovely things that you can carry around on a daily basis in your pocket around your neck or on a wrist?.
The wood elf's cuff Before we speak about this though a bit of a backstory into my jewelry. I spend a heck of a lot of time trawlli g through Facebook vinted eBay etc to find the perfect vintage brooches and buttons, I'm very picky so it's usually not an easy task. 1, I like them to look worn with patina, new does not interest me even if they're old, I love the look of a worn brooch it tells a story 2, the more colour the better, the brooches and buttons are usually the centrepiece of my work, so more colour means more chance to use different coloured leathers plus more ideas come to mind. 3 the more out there the shape the better, which is not easy has most circles etc 4, the less rhinestone or glass the better. This cuff is in my opinion the perfect compliment to the 3 vintage adornments , the amount of wear patina and colour in this thing is awesome, I've had to make it slightly bigger than usual as there's quite a lot of detail in this however it will fit comfortable on an average wrist but will be big on a small wrist. The minimum being 8 inches , however this is not just for the wrist it's also for your forearms top arms and ankle. Probably one of my favourite cuffs today, is incredibly comfortable looks amazing and of course has a lifetime repair guarantee
The kind gesture necklace The ideal way to showcase such a quirky brooch, I believe these were around in the 50s and originate from Germany, behind the brooch I have inlayed a hills and sky scene to give the whole thing a bit of depth. Design to look like the whole thing is made out of wood and grass There is an Edwardian enamel button on the loop to complement and finish the whole scene off. Why do I make these eclectic strange things? I love really old unique quirky broaches and what better way to protect and show them off is by wrapping them in leather and adding to their story. These are certainly not dainty and delicate you can probably hang from this if you really wanted to but I wouldn't recommend it. Quite the statement piece

I have now got to a point where I am really happy with the overall design and durability of these purses. Using Italian leather throughout. I did a lot or research in regards to zips, they needed to be heavy duty rugged and colourful.... I think they are perfect. Most of my followers know I don't like zips as they're a point of failure but these seem very durable. Enough for 4 cards notes coins, a key etc. It's a really versatile build. I will be offering these as a custom order Each purse bought will be made to order so I can tailor it to the buyer in regards to colour etc. Average build time will be within the same week.
The Hollingsworth cuff Beautiful Czech glass antique brooch with some awesome patina, I wanted the surrounding leather to mimic the patina which I feel is the perfect compliment to the brooch fully adjustable with pure brass and copper rivets plus a stainless steel buckle .
