Goldsmithing / Skeletal Articulation

As a trained jeweller, I find immense joy in designing and crafting unique pieces of jewellery for my family and friends in my spare time. This personal passion allows me to continually hone my skills, experimenting with new techniques and creating bespoke designs that reflect individuality and creativity.

Additionally, I have a fascination with the intricate beauty of nature, which has led me to pursue a hobby of carefully rebuilding the skeletons of small animals. Through this meticulous process, I create aesthetic displays that celebrate the delicate structure and artistry of the natural world. This hobby nurtures my precision, patience, and appreciation for craftsmanship in both natural and artistic forms.
