Mini wooden pegs, leather cord

‘I was raised to take care of stuff, not throw away what can be mended, not buy new stuff before thinking twice of old one is still good to be used. That's how these jewellery ideas were born. I love recycling and making my own boxes, files, folders, envelopes, wallets, gift boxes, toys, and one day I started to look for things that I can hang on earring hooks or necklace cords. And it is really everywhere that I see inspiration and source for creating. That's how I started to work on recycled and junk jewellery - it was my personal reaction on brands, consumerism, expensive 'airport duty free' jewellery.’
