A life-long fascination with wave-worn wood has led Lizzie Weir to create her Flotsam jewellery collection. Combining driftwood with pieces of Hawthorn, Holly and Cherry that she has been given or has collected on walks in Cornwall and Gloucestershire, Lizzie then uses gold leaf, pencil, paint and Letraset to create her highly individual jewellery. Wherever possible she creates the fastenings from metals that have been given to her, bought second hand or are from ethical sources.
