My designs celebrate the beauty of the peacock birds, in all their green, gold and blue glory. I have a range of hanging decorations, mobiles and jewellery designs that aim to capture the shimmering colour palette and vibrancy of these much loved birds. Each design is handmade with copper wire and adorned with translucent semi-precious gemstone and Czech glass beads.
