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).

Full description
Turquoise Eye shaped recycled brooch - made with repurposed plastic beads from vintage necklaces, with bought teal coloured wire combined with lacquered copper wire reclaimed from television sets backed with scraps of red rubber from an exercise ball and stuff with scraps from a yoga mat. 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 with an acid green envelope on a branded pink card and supplied with a card describing the source of materials used. Recycled pink sturdy gift box plus repurposed outer packaging.
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. My work ranges from small earrings to large sculptures and I am more than happy to work to create a commission especially for you. Please feel free to request any work from my images on social media, I can let you know if they are available or if I have anything similar.
