About Bunny

My shop began in October 2010 in a particularly long lull between theatre work. Sick of my boring 'pays the rent' day job and needing a way to stay sane I started making Christmas decorations and opened my Etsy shop. Over the next year I branched out into bags and purses, jewellery and homewares, and have continued to develop my range whilst building my profile through crafts fairs and retail outlets.

  I trained as a theatre designer, at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where I learnt scenic painting, model making, set design, puppetry and props making, but costume was always my priority.

 

 I still work in costume which feeds into my work through the use of vintage textiles and an understanding of design and fashion history.
My work is driven by a love of textiles and a passion for details.Using combinations of modern and vintage textiles I create one of a kind brooches, hair adornments, bags and purses that are simple yet striking. The emphasis is on pattern and colour, showcased in simple designs and shapes.
