Beth Hughes:

Driftwood/Recycled Fabric Jewellery

I work creatively in mixed media using mainly found and recycled materials to create jewellery, usable sculptures and wall hangings.
My jewellery is made from driftwood - hand collected, cut, sanded, drilled to form unique beads which I combine with fabric plaster beads (old sheets, clothing, lace), shells, stones and hand made airdried clay beads.
I love playing with the textures and forms found in the wood and by wrapping fabric and adding colour to create funky and chunky pieces that are fun and original to wear.
Truly 'rags into riches' !!!
