FASHION & BEAUTY Have there been any custom orders so far that have stood out as personal favourites of yours? Every commission I take on is very enjoyable, as there is always a feeling that part of me and part of the customer is being fused into a piece of art for them to treasure and for me to feel proud of. Art boxes are one of my favourites to do, as customers can send me keepsakes and treasures of their own to include which make it so much more personal. I am working on a commission currently, which will be featured in a promo video for a bestselling authors’ newest novel, due out in autumn. I am in the early production stages now, and feel this may be one of my most favourite to date. I look forward to seeing the end result, and showing my fans what I’ve made! If you could create a custom order for anyone in the world, who would it be and why? I would love to make an art box for Alan Moore, and Neil Gaiman, as they are two of my favourite writers, and to know that they have something of mine on their wall would make me incredibly proud! I am actually making a piece for Alan at the moment, so fingers crossed he will be a fan of it! Jewellery wise...Bjork, Tori Amos, Kate Bush would all be able to rock some Curiology I think! Could you tell us a bit about any new pieces/ designs you’re working on at the moment? Well, other than the promo video commission, I have some large wedding jewellery pieces in the pipe line, some shoot pieces with the wonderful Scott Cole, a photographer that I am very happy working alongside, as he is fantastic and knows his way around the industry, a few art boxes including a Kraken and pirate ship, a neo Victorian keepsake box and a huge wall mounted ‘Unicorn skull’ piece for an 8 year old’s bedroom. One of my youngest clients so far I think! What’s to come in the future for you and Curiology? I intend to devote more time towards raising money for PDSA through my work. I donate money from each sale or offer Curiology has, and would like to do more, so watch this space for upcoming charity events. I think once you’ve got to a point that you have worked up and made your business a success, it’s time to give something back to worthy causes, and I am very fortunate to be in a position to do this now. As a final word I would just like to thank every one of my customers and supporters. I love you all! www.etsy.com/shop/CuriologyStore
