My Story

When lockdown hit in 2020, I was 16 and looking for a creative outlet beyond traditional art (a passion I’ve had since a young child).

I started making simple bead bracelets and to my surprise, people loved them.

I began selling them online, never expecting a small hobby would grow into what it is today.

​​​​

ArtBirdCrafts began with a single spool of string and a curious mind. What started as simple knots and playful shapes soon took flight, evolving into pliers, metals, and designs that dared to be bolder, brighter, and beautifully complex.

​​

Each piece I create carries a bit of that journey, from the softness of thread to the strength of wire, from delicate loops to sculptural forms that tell a story.

I’m endlessly inspired by nature, birds, and the quiet drama of handmade detail.

​​I now create handmade jewellery, clay brooches, stickers, keychains and more, selling through this website and trading at large art markets across Southern England.

 

​Whether it’s a brooding owl pendant or a glittery goose keychain, every item is crafted with care, character, and a dash of mischief.

ArtBirdCrafts is more than a shop—it’s a nest for ideas, a perch for imagination, and a place where creativity flaps its wings.

Having a stall at Windsor & Eton Pride and South East London Pride was a real milestone, I felt proud of how far I’ve come. Teaching myself not only how to create my products, but also how to build a brand, manage customer service, analyse sales, and keep improving.

​​​

ArtBirdCrafts is slowly evolving, each piece is handmade with heart, humour, and a love for storytelling, celebrating queerness, creativity, and the joy of making things that feel unapologetically you.

​​​​​​​​

From jewellery to stickers, brooches to keychains, this is a space where craft meets character, and everyone’s welcome to perch.
