When you mention the word Cumbria a few things may spring to mind; mountains, sheep, lakes, and tourists! However in a town called Workington, Rachel’s Wonders, a small jewellery business has got people talking about something other than country side and wellies.
Rachel designs and makes contemporary jewellery which is exhibited nationally, but in 2011 it was her little Kitsch ‘wonders’ that have really took the online and alternative world by storm. You may like to know that the epi-centre for all this creative activity is her Christmas present from her father, her beloved Shed.
"Rachel’s Wonders was set up as a side line to my main body of work in 2010. After setting up a Facebook page (Rachel’s Wonders Jewellery) to promote the business, not only did sales increase, but interest sored with models, photographers and stylists wanting to use my work in shoots".
Rachel has shot with an amazing selection of Photographers, Models and Companies including; Gareth Hickey and Samantha Gardner, PICFX, Brandon Zachary in Florida with the gorgeous Kimber Lee, Miss Malice and Joseph O'Brien, Click Click Bang, with Peggy Soo and Juliette October are to name but a few.
