Item details

Frilled tottie pot made from recycled materials - wire reclaimed from televisions, wire beer bottle cage, bought wire (pale blue) and ribbon/braid. Each tottie pot is made with no plan and evolves as I construct and as the raw materials present themselves. Each piece is made by hand and many hours going into their creation. I use textile techniques in metal.

Why Tottie? I am Scottish and tottie means little and having a "wee tot" is to have a little child or a little drink. This one stand 9 cm high, 10 cm diameter at largest point. They are like little characters. Not sure they are useful, perhaps they could hold an electric candle but I really just enjoy looking at the layers and stitches and shape. They stand on legs made from wire cages used for champagne or beer bottles. There is only one of these in the world...each one created is different to the next.

Re-purposed, re-imagined
Jewellery and objects made by award winning eco-artist, jeweller - Alison Bailey Smith, based in Wellington Road Studios, unit 2, 28a Wellington Road, Birkenhead, CH43 2JE

This piece has been a long time in the completion as a flight of fancy. The wire is mostly recycled from old televisions that I dismantle but the pale blue wire is bought. The beads are recycled from a sewing project and the feet are made from a cage on a beer or wine bottle to hold the fizz in.....this lets the fizz out!

Supplied in a recycled box and delivery is included.
