Various badges and votives, including my original I-Spy Today added a Farage comment badge
A plastic doll’s arm found on a walk on a remote track in the Alpujaras.

Earring belonging to my late husband
Piece of a saint’s Elastoplast
Tall Ships medal from my 1998 voyage from Falmouth to Lisbon (commissioned by the Independent newspaper)
A packet of Mock Tudor designed by Marcus Oakley
An engagement ring presented to me by a crime writer who’d just bought it from an Argos outside of which he proposed. I declined his offer btw.
Some legal red tape
Various hand images including one from my Handbook of Hopes and Dreams
A snippet of Elvis Presley’s hair (honest, guv) in a badge sold to me on the South Bank of the Thames
Making pinboard assemblages is great fun. See some commissions in the past.
