About Me


Jewellery designs & images © Arts & Candies 2006

Hey everyone! I'm a self-taught Artisan from the UK, who adores creating unique, innovative, kitsch jewellery using FIMO polymer clay and any other bits & pieces I can get my hands on! My designs consist mainly of sweets & confectionary, including Chocolates, Cupcakes, Dolly Mixtures, Ice creams, Donuts... basically anything that looks delicious!


I started designing jewellery purely by accident in the Spring of 2006 and discovered it was something I loved doing. My work is constantly evolving as I gain new ideas and inspiration & I currently sell my handmade creations worldwide via ebay!
