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. I trained as a jeweller in Edinburgh in the 80s and 90s and have been recycling since then, in different places all round the world. I am now back in the UK and recently acquired wires from lots of old televisions so am having great fun with new colours.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! I am keen to re-use, re-develop and re-create n my home and in my business.

Full description
Painted button pendant from recycled and found materials made by me in Wirral in July 2022. Linen button which I painted then encircled with telecom wire overstitched with television wire. Followed by two rows of green wire and edged with red telecom wire. The pendant is hung from green cord, which I have acquired when another craftsperson de-stashed their studio. My work always aims to be as sustainable as possible and I try to creatively clear up metal and plastic that is unwanted by others but really still a valuable resource. Diverting items from landfill has been my mission for over thirty years.
Backed with red rubber from an exercise ball.
P 25/22 Pendant 4.5 x 4 cm - cord 66 cm long
Designed by Alison Bailey Smith in Liverpool
