“Thoughtfully Made, Lovingly Shared”
✨ Christmas 2026 – Last posting date: 17th December ✨
✨ Imperfect Edition
A small selection of handmade pieces with tiny cosmetic quirks — perfectly usable, just not quite my usual finish. Offered at a reduced price so they can still find a loving home.
✨ Shipping & Packaging
All orders are sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48. I reuse outer packaging where possible, but I’m always happy to use fresh packaging for gifts.
✨ Handmade Character
Every piece is made by hand in my Sussex studio, so gentle variations are part of their charm.
If you have a question or a custom idea, feel free to get in touch.

Hi, I’m Lorraine - a lifelong maker who loves creating handmade pieces in mixed media like mineral casting mix, resin and clay. My work ranges from coasters, trays and tiny cats to diffuser stones and jewellery.
I keep a little book of ideas and I’m always experimenting. Some pieces become instant favourites, others are happy accidents and a few never see the light of day - all part of the joy of making. I have been making in some form all my life and enjoy the process and results - usually!
I take great care with every piece but the very nature of handmade means, depending on the media, there may be tiny bubbles, small impressions or colour variations. These natural inclusions are part of the handmade charm and you know for certain that no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.
I live in Sussex with my family and two rescue cats, one of whom regularly “assists” in the studio. My black cat logo is based on a photo of a beloved companion watching snow - a moment that still inspires me. If you would like to know more then please visit my blog where I go into a lot more detail!
If you have a question, a tweak in mind, or a custom idea you’d love to explore, feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to chat.
Lorraine xx

A few practical details:
Safety Information:
If you intend to use traditional candles (not LED/battery operated) with any of my items, please ensure you never leave a burning candle unattended. Place on a stable, heat resistant surface and keep away from children, pets and flammable materials. Do not move whilst in use and allow to cool completely before handling. Discontinue use if damaged. Always follow the candle manufacturer's safety guidance.
Packaging:
I reuse outer packaging wherever possible to keep waste low. If you’re sending a gift directly, I’m always happy to use fresh packaging so it arrives looking special.
Shipping:
All orders are sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48 for peace of mind. I currently ship within the UK only.
Really lovely thoughtful crafted paws perfect for a gift and so nice to read the note on the card the paw comes on. Just right for my friend. Packaged with lots of care and in paper and even included a tiny paw on a thank card. My friend said they would put in their sun hat. Thank you for the care you put into making lovely things
