Meet the maker Vanessa

I have just started making jewellery (yes, another one!) and am trying to use more unusual but everyday materials - contradiction? Unusual for jewellery perhaps but something you would see around the place most of the time, like paperclips and safety pins. I will also be recycling a lot of vintage jewellery rescued from charity shops. I have a penchant for all things British, sometimes with a dash of Uncle Sam thrown in too.
