When I was a kid, we used to a really good game called Haunted House on the cover was quite a funny Scooby Doo like illustration of a haunted house with ghost coming out of it. I think this is what was in my mind when I designed this necklace, I wanted it to be comic, spooky and fun. This is also quite a large necklace which needed to be to get all the detailing the spooky ghost the fence and the stitching of the windows.
Each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.
Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.
