These Animal Portraits Are Not What They Look Like

ADVERTISEMENT

As a little girl, I was obsessed with finding treasure. I found that the soil in my garden was rich in treasure – full of broken pottery pieces, bits of glass and a lot of lovely little worms.

As an adult, I discovered that charity shops, second-hand shops, car boot sales, bead shops and even Brighton Beach were also rich in treasure. Combining my love of treasure and art I have been creating art pieces using just beads and buttons for 2 years now.

Each bead or button is individually glued on taking me between 1-2 months to complete a piece.
