Dead Good Jewellery COMMISSIONS CLOSED
Dead Good Jewellery, Taxidermy and art from Nicola Hebson's Curiosity Shop . I feel that my jewellery pays homage to this.

Turning all manner of flora and fauna into beautiful one of a kind jewellery and accessories since 2011. All specimens seen in my work have died of natural causes or they are victims of roadkill accidents. I recycle bones from roadkill and clean them myself, as well as collect dead insects from windowsills , im always out and about foraging and you can even find me bottom's up in a skip from time to time. I have a deep respect and appreciation for nature, i preserve the beauty in things which otherwise would be discarded or left to rot. My pieces celebrate the loveliness that you find in the great outdoors, and capture the spirit of the great English woodlands and moorlands. We have for the most part lost our day-to-day connection both with the natural environment and the creatures there in. It is my belief that we have a deeper connection with nature that can never be broken. Our ancestors often wore jewellery made from bones, crystals, rocks , shells, wood etc as a way to be connected to the spirits of animals, and to simply adorn oneself , so by carrying on the tradition of primitive adornments it surely makes a magical bridge that connects us to those that once roamed and made us who we are now . i hope that my work gives the wearer a magical sense of connection to nature and ancestral energy. As well as simple bone pieces, A lot of my pieces are made with non toxic eco resin and clay with organic components encapsulated inside. I have also started the alchemy that is copper electroforming. Whether it is naturally deceased creatures, shells, plants, flowers, or minerals I make a wide range of pieces that are all absolutely unique - i.e. every single piece is handmade by me and so a ‘one-off’ every time.

The last couple of days ive been sorting out my new allotment! (I moved!) Ive weeded till my fingers bled and had a ton of free woodchip delivered, so i haven't been making the last few days, ive been tooing and froing with a wheelbarrow ! I got myself some fancy raised beds which im really happy with💁🏻‍♀️ so now that all this is in place i can get started on a couple of composting pots of roadkill, I've left a huge area for wild flowers and mushrooms i can forage too. And obviously grow veg 😅💕 if it was up to me though i would have wanted to leave it more wild , but you get the allotment taken off you if you can't see the path 🤣 and my allotment neighbour found me a dead rat today !

A little sneak at some of my new collection!

A dead Millepede found in the bottom of a plantpot in my greenhouse, which i had to piece back together. A beetle found dead rolled up in my tent when i was unpacking. Dried flowers from my summer jogs in the countryside, a ladybird from a ladybug graveyard in an attic. A big dried out Millepede from Bosnia that i accidentally snook home. A beetle from the lake district. Hedgehog spines from a roadkill hedgehog my friend found outside of his work. Each piece is a page marker for what i did that day in my life.

This new collections coming with me this weekend to Leeds on Saturday Leedsfestivalofgothica and Manchester on Sunday , Manchester Alternative Bazaar
