wire me in... regina middleton


Hello there. I'm Regina, I love found objects and alternative materials. I am often found scrounging through skip bins, or more romantically, gathering ephemera at the beach. Sustainability is a chief concern of mine, and so is the reusing of discarded materials.

'Wire Me In' is the latest little collection I have been working on. Born from a fascination with the intriguing lines formed by electrical cables and some pretty coloured wires found in a skip bin, I have become a little obsessed with wrapping and weaving the two together, transforming communication cables into beautiful and intriguing pieces of adornment.

These lovely little pieces currently come in the form of pendants, earrings and bracelets...

It's brown paper world



Well, hello world! By way of introduction, here's an image of some of my latest works. The boxes are two cigarette tins and two powder compacts. Half of the group are brooches and the others pendants, the two front cases having brooch backs and the two centre radial patterns (for want of a better term) having pins. They're all recycled metal (including the silver) and steel cable, with a bit of steel and a blob of solder here and there.
