Nelson was a softly spoken collector of the unusual and he had the sharpest eye for spotting things others might miss. Florence was small and quiet in her demeanour, and she sang to him with such beauty and richness he became enthralled . They were an unlikely pairing but it worked so well.
The Ballad of Backwards and Forwards Collection
The dog is a discarded toy, with a ceramic vase perched on his rear with a girl inside. Some of the embellishments are glass foliage, fruits and military braiding. All materials are recycled, collected or found, deconstructed and reassembled to tell a new story and have a refreshed purpose.
I have also dressed them with decoupage, paint and foil leaf. They have vintage Indian textiles and painted claws.
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!
