Mandy is from Stoke on Trent in the North of England and is trained as a silver smith but happily states she doesn't want to make anything serious just what takes her fancy. Her work is a combination of consummate skill and a wry sense of humour. She seems to work in brass and copper producing tiny characters that raise a smile. Me, I like her birds and if the bird and balloon is still around after Christmas I will definitely snap it up. Some how buying a Christmas present for myself is too indulgent so I will wait!
You can find these delightful characters at Hollowbourne on Folksy and HollowbourneHoard on Etsy, there is also a Facebook page and Instagram. The shop on Folksy looks gorgeous with lots of animal characters to choose from, take a peek and it will raise a smile.
