I create brooches from the trash I collect from the streets of Melbourne and other cities where I work or travel. My brooches are each one-of-a-kind. They are definitely conversation starters about sustainability, and hopefully, they will serve as a reminder that each of us needs to do our part to keep our environment clean and green.

I have gathered all the materials for my brooches (including the backings) from the streets or beaches of Melbourne or other cities where I have worked or travelled. The only materials not from the streets are the brooch clips and adhesive. My packaging is repurposed waste cardboard.
