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

Made in Wirral by me, Alison Bailey Smith. My work is definitely a by-product of the 21st century & I have been described as a 'techno -cannibal' by BBC journalist Clare English. My career has spanned 3 decades and three different countries since leaving Edinburgh College of Art in 1990. The motivation behind my work comes from being the child of post war parents, Scottish thriftiness and an avid watcher of Blue Peter! My need to re-use, re-develop and re-create can be seen in my use of ordinary materials in my creations.

Although my training was initially in jewellery and silver-smithing, I have crossed over successfully into the world of textiles, costume and fashion (I have won several awards including Scottish Fashion Designer of the Year, Recycling Fashion Designer of the Year and various awards for Fibre in North America and Australasia).A staple ingredient in my work is wire that I reclaim from old televisions, the older the better. I've found over a hundred different colours

Full description

Sunset recycled brooch - imagine the colours of a sunset or sunrise beside the beach, made from wrapping cellophane (re-purposed from chocolate wrappers) with bought teal coloured wire combined with lacquered copper wire reclaimed from television sets. At the centre, a glass gem from a vintage necklace glints and backed with golden metal from a tomato puree tube to reflect the light. Perfect gift for anyone who is concerned about the environment and keen to use what we already have.

Could be worn on a lapel, on a scarf/shawl, bag or hat. Packaged in a recycled acid green box with envelope, branded card and supplied with a card describing the source of materials used.

Designed by Alison Bailey Smith in Liverpool
