U P C Y C L E D
On a recent organisation of the HMJ materials section, I came across a handful of gorgeous huge pre-drilled wooden pieces in a little box!
I remember purchasing them over a year ago from the Dove House charity shop in Hull.
I’m conscious to be more sustainable within my business, to upcycle older unused pieces, and to reuse materials were possible.
And so I set to work in my studio. Working with the geometric wooden shapes was a dream! And after gentle cleaning, re-painting with ‘midnight’ black specialised wood paint, I then created a durable wire base for the pieces to be threaded through. Attaching the recycled gold curb chain links was slightly tricker, but I knew this piece would be worth the effort. Finally then working in a comfortable clasp fastening to the top centre, and….
….ta -da! the gorgeous ’Midnight’ was created! A statement solid choker style necklace that just oozes edge and empowerment (see blog photo)
If you have a selection of materials that you’d like upcycling and creating into something beautiful, please get in touch - we can work together to design and create, all whilst being sustainable!
