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
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 almost 2 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).

Full description
Long purple recycled hair-clasp made from repurposed materials including wrapped wrappers from plastic packaging with recycled copper wire and lacquered wire - both recycled and purchased. Handmade in England by Alison Bailey Smith. 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 and hues of copper and aluminium wire but now supplement with carefully purchased wire or donated wire from other crafters.
The piece is presented with a branded vibrant pink recycled card and delivered with a card describing the "ingredients" in the earrings which makes it an excellent summer gift for the eco conscious recipient with a vibrant pink recycled envelope.
To tie in with my green ethos, I do not ship outside of the UK, postage is included in the price and all external packaging is reused, or repurposed.
Designed by Alison Bailey Smith in Liverpool
