WalnutStudio

I’m a compulsive crafter from the UK. Since I retired early I am usually to be found in my studio making ATCs, postcards, jewellery, polymer clay, gelli prints, journals, quilts etc. I am always trying out new crafts and if I like them they get added in to the rota of projects during the year. I make things just for the fun of seeing how they turn out. I never make any effort to sell things so swapping is the ideal outlet.

My art style is bright. I can’t seem to do neutrals or overly lacy, although I do try and sometimes it happens. Some of my jewellery is pretty and sweet. Some of it is bright statement pieces. I used to make for work colleagues so would challenge myself to make something they would wear to work and matched the designs to their personalities. Luckily I also love eclectic gatherings of things that have meaning. I’m definitely not a matchy matchy kind of person. ( All my plates and bowls are different. Fun but they don’t stack very well). I like the idea of putting together a journal with all different styles of items from swaps.

My favourite items are things that say something about the giver, their hobbies and obsessions, and the more unusual the better. I love to look through postcards from interesting places or admire quirky little things I’ve acquired.

Thank you to anyone who swaps with me. Have a lovely day.
