Welcome to Funky Cat Design, where individuality, new and reclaimed materials come together in handcrafted jewellery and gifts… and craft workshops – where I share my passion for crafts with others.
I am super chuffed and grateful to see you here. I hope you will enjoy visiting my online shop as well: https://folksy.com/shops/funkycatdesign.
I make all the items listed in the shop myself, with the occasional help from my “pawsome” family member (hence the business name).
I have been making things for family and friends, and selling occasionally on request, ever since I can remember.
Now, after working for 30 years in the corporate world, I have decided to listen to my heart (and my wonderful support circle) and start my own craft business.
I design and make jewellery and small gifts using new and reclaimed materials (like old jeans/denim, or yarn from charity shops).
Every piece is lovingly made by hand and produced in small batches, embracing artisan techniques like crocheting, needle felting, sewing, decoupage, appliqué and more.
For jewellery, I often hand-dye and varnish the wooden beads myself using non-toxic and natural dyes and varnish, Renaissance wax polish or beeswax.
I love needle-felting and working with reclaimed materials, so you’ll often find scrap wool and yarn, bits of old denim, difficult-to-recycle plastics (bottle caps and rings, old CDs), and jam jar lids (rubbery lining) incorporated into my artwork and craft workshops. Check out the images in the gallery to see what I can do…
