The inspiration of this collection has come from the drawings I have made from two skeletal frogs, found in my garden at home.

 

From exploring the processes and qualities of metal, I have developed the idea of wearing an aspect of a frog. The concept leads me to the forming of brass metal sheets that can be fastened to clothing with a brooch back.

 

Looking at the mark making in my drawings, I have collected items that show a similar texture to roll into metal, to create sensitive and effective aesthetics.

 

The collection could develop further by having different animal inspired pieces, and various types of jewellery and  accessory items.
