Made With Love by Kat

I love fairytales. In fact, I love fairytales so much that I studied an entire module on them as part of my English degree - Romance, Ballad and Fairytale. And when I'm designing new pieces often themes and ideas from those stories come through.

When I was little I used to play at being Cinderella - and a scene in the Disney film that I particularly loved was when all the woodland creatures were making her dress for her: So when I was making some new necklaces with adorable tiny bird charms, something subliminal must have triggered my own desire to go to the ball.
