Diana wasn’t sure which direction to take. She felt safe still in her familiar surroundings, but also twitched with a need to move. Everyone said there was no rush, but Diana needed a push. When her friends decided to go, she accepted their offer and went with. It wasn’t the bravery of solo travel, but it was movement and adventure, and she felt excited.
Part of the Palace of Opposites Collection
The hippo is a discarded toy, sent with a herd of Hippos no longer treasured. Her headpiece is a Christmas light shade, she has zebras on her side and her companions are ceramic. All materials are recycled, collected and found, deconstructed and reassembled to tell a new story and have a refreshed purpose.
They are embellished with collected feathers, textiles, jewellery, dried flower components and beads. I have also dressed them with decoupage, paint and foil leaf. They have vintage Indian textiles and painted claws.
I also have safari animal cards available in my shop.
All my pieces are individual and one-off - as I only work with recycled and reclaimed objects I never know what I am going to find. If you are looking for something particular, please ask - and I'll start looking!
Free shipping in the UK, please use my contact form to enquire about overseas shipping. All packaging used is recycled.
