The Messy Brunette

I am a Tipperary based designer & maker of hand painted colourful wooden jewellery. Established in 2013, I started out with embroidery and making up small pieces of jewellery combining this along with hand embroidery kits & designing patterns. That slowly evolved into making more jewellery. Inspired by the colours and shapes around me, I try and use these in my work. My jewellery is laser cut from FSC certified European plywood & each piece is then hand painted & assembled by me, from start to finish. I try and use eco friendly materials where possible, from the resin to the glitter to my packaging. My pieces are bright and colourful, like little pieces of wearable art & hopefully something to make you smile! I use a combination of modern techinques, like UV printing and old traditional craft methods like decoupage in my pieces. Brass, glitter & arcylic are featured in my work, just giving my pieces that extra touch & making them unique.
