Exciting New Work from Mel Miller


Mel Miller has been stocking Self Preservation since she was awarded 1st Price in the Small Beautiful Objects competition we hosted in 2008 together with IeatIdrinkIwork in conjunction with the Food and Wine Festival. Her range of quirky, cute jewellery incorporates felt and little fluffy pom-poms, that come in all the colours of the rainbow, so the wearer can be colour-coordinated, matching jewels with shoes, handbag and the like.

Mel brought in this amazing range of felt pieces. The inside of the hand felted balls are Steel wool and the outside is lovely soft Merino. The range is in the front window - and a customer today asked if they were marshmallows! I think they look more like olives. What do you think?
