About Me:

Hello. My name is Kerry. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm in university studying psychology. I work part time for an up-market clothing brand. I have a major obsession with fashion and often blow my whole pay on clothes and accessories.

To fuel my obsession, I make my own accessories. I have called the range "box of glory accessories". The name comes from the Portishead song 'glory box' that I absolutely love. One of my favourite singers, Chanel Cole, sang a beautiful rendition of this song on Australian idol. Speaking of Chanel, she is my inspiration for all of my exquisite hair pieces. There's nothing prettier on a girl than a flower in her hair :)

I love making brooches, earrings, pendants and other accessories out of polymer clay. Fimo is always fun to work with.

I recently started making hama bead jewelry too. I love the robotic designs you can come up with using these tiny beads. The feel of hama bead jewelry is quite retro and 80s inspired. I always get comments on my hama bead designs if I wear them out. People like the quirkiness of them :)

Some of my favourite designers and artists include Alannah Hill, Lisa Ho, Collette Dinnigan, Fafi, kozyndan, Dame Darcy, Ray Caesar, Björk, Camille Rose Garcia, Mark Ryden, Beci Orphin, Alpha60, Stella McCartney, Ksubi, Cybelle, Romance Was Born, Zambesi, Gorman, T.L Wood, Nicola Finetti, Something Else, Bettina Liano, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, Akira Isogawa, Zimmerman, Scanlan and Theodore, Life with Bird, Alice McCall, Natasha... and plenty more!
