Introduction I make things! My toys are mostly made from re-cycled materials such as old buttons, zips and clothes and the stuffing from unloved pillows. I sometimes use new materials along with the old ones but the main aim of my toys is to recycle stuff! I also like to crochet, make sculptures, print t-shirts, draw and write comics and write poems and stories and make short films. I collect beach glass, cat whiskers and other peoples shopping lists! My toys and/or zines have been sold at: Pocket Space, Small Rhino, Area 52 and Sticky.
Interests I like creating things, classical ballet dancing, animal welfare, snowflakes, insects, plants and reading.
