artisan craft figures for every occasion

Unique, original and collectable handmade craft figures to celebrate the great things in life, or simply to show someone that you care.
My creations are lovingly handmade from quality materials and embody the joy I find in the creative process, they are cute, fun and packed full of character!
I have a custom made service for the most individually tailored gifts, each figure is specially made according to the recipients tastes:
their likes/interests/talents/character/hobbies/work/achievements etc.
Whatever you want to say, I have a figure to say it :)
I am based in Sheffield across from a beautiful park and draw much of my inspiration from Nature, the beauty in flowers, plants, animals and the seasons never ceases to amaze me.I have a passion for fairy tales, fantasy, folklore and mythology, I also love colour, all of these things influence my work greatly.
I learned how to draw by observing my older brother but my love of craft was inherent, I have made things with my hands from as far back as I can remember (the earliest of which was a pink bed for my Sylvanian Families, complete with mattress and dust ruffle!)
For the last eight years I have been developing and selling my craft figures, I am meticulous by nature and my most favourite part of the creative process is adding in the little details.
I have found that nothing else in life brings me quite the same joy as making, I also find it very therapeutic.
