Garden State

Garden State is a wonderful medley of Alex's desire for luxury and perfection and Becky's passion for recycling and environmental crafts.

“We have collaborated to revive tired, old and/or unused items with the aim to produce an array of high quality and striking wearable pieces. All pieces are handmade and have minimal impact on the environment. We pride ourselves on each piece being one of a kind.”

Charm bracelets/ anklets





We have been busy making bracelets/anklets and armbands, putting to use some of the beads we made previously. All beautifully crafted using hemp thread, paper beads, small bells, washers, a selection of odd buttons and cuff links and lots of other little trinkets. All one of a kind, they will be up in our Etsy shop very soon (gardenstateuk). 

More photos coming soon, so you can have a look at some of the other bracelets.


Other Exciting Paper Things


We are blown away by these fantastic paperwork in 3D, really exciting work pushing the boundaries of paper art from crafting to ART. 

Here's a link for an article in hand/eye magazine which has more information about the artists involved in a Paper Art exhibition in Vermont.

More Paper Beads...


Paper Beads...



We've been experimenting, making paper beads. All that is left to do now is to give them a good varnish, to make sure they don't get soggy in the rain.

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter or by E-mail.
And keep your eyes peeled for new beautiful paper bead necklaces and bracelets, and lots of other hand-made jewelry.
