Jewellery & Cards

We all design and create all different types of jewellery using beadwork, metals, natural ingredients, culminating in necklaces, bangles, Christmas decorations etc.

TWIGS makes handmade paper incorporating silk and vegetable products, pressed flowers from our own garden, embossing, etc. The cards are professionally finished and individually packaged ready for that special occasion.

Contemporary jewellery using many recycled materials now forms a permanent part of our "heart-felt" range of products. We use textiles, clay, felt, glass, metals and wood to create accessories such as bangles, necklaces and bag jewellery. We add our own twist to current styles having been inspired by natural colours and forms.

All of our cards are original miniature works of art that have been made with our own papers, textiles and plants. Some of the papers include silk, plant and vegetable, recycled and are finished with different paint techniques such as marbling. Making the different "ingredients" for the cards are valuable opportunities to learn new techniques to add to individual portfolios and records of achievement. Creating the cards encourages individuals to learn about composition and colour. It is always enjoyable to share ideas whilst exploring one's own preferences and style. It is always interesting to consider what other people might like and take reference from the retail world. Taken further this can lead to marketing ideas and presentation skills. Many people who become confident at card-making go on to do it at home and share their skills elsewhere, in other groups or with friends.
