Collaborations with Tamara Castagnaro
For all the people who said they'd like to see my designs in jewellery: your dreams have come true! And I couldn’t have asked for a better artist or friend to do that with. Amazing silversmith Tamara will be turning my designs in to stunning jewellery.
We’ve a lot of ideas brewing together, but the first of out creations is our kitty jack-o’-lantern. Didn't she turn out just puuurfect? I love her so much. 🐈⬛🎃
The first of many of my designs, recreated in silver, brass and copper. She's available to purchase on Tamara's website! But only four of her will ever be made, so get in quickly before they’re sold out. I adore her little whiskers, little swirl, and her leaves!
Kitty Jack-'O-Lantern
The second of our collabs: our lovely ghost forager friend! She holds a hand picked bouquet of fungi just for you. Could you ever imagine anything more darling? Once again, Tamara has outdone herself recreating my design in silver. Along with her bouquet, her sheet is studded in teeny dead man’s fingers and turkey tails.
She’s one of a kind, and has found her home. But we’ve still got a couple kitty jack-o’-lantern pendants looking theirs, and many more wonderful collabs on the cards. So stay tuned. 🐈⬛🌙♥️

Collaborations with The Mourning Star by Ali
Together, me and Ali have curated the first of our collaborative pin collections: The Secret Garden. Inspired by our love of mother nature, classic Victorian gardens, antiques and hidden worlds.

I came across Ali's pins on instagram, and was immediately drawn in! I reached out to her, and found out she too had a desire to explore the secret door. So we opened it together, bringing this pin set back with us. We dove into the pages of the original book and film for our initial inspiration. Drawing from the diverse flora, fauna, and fungi featured, as well as tapping into our own imaginations.
Step through the overgrown wooden door and get lost in our garden. Look for frogs, chase butterflies, follow the friendly robin, and gaze through a window framed by foxgloves. Take a seat amongst the toadstools, and breathe in the scent of wild violets. And remember, this is just the beginning of our journey together...
