Hi, my name is Emma and I'm 24. I make and sell everything for Heroine Industries and her sister shop (of the same name) on etsy. I have been making and selling kitsch jewellery on ebay since 2005, and recently changed the name from Andraste Alternative Jewellery. I decdied to change the name as I wanted something more easily memorable and wanted to make the change from doing it as a side project to running it as a proper business full time. I also closed the shop (in nov 2009) as it was getting too expensive to keep. So for more kitsch, ooak, and rockabilly handmade jewellery please check out my etsy shop!

I recently finished a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration, but have also studied textiles, fashion design and fine art. I love art and crafts and have always been making things and drawing. My dream is to make a living from my art and things I make. I can't think of a better way to make a living.

I love 80's hair metal, which is where the palm trees come from in the shop banner, I was going for an L.A Sunset Strip kind of feel :)

I also love vintage Sindy's and have started collecting them, I love fixing them up and re-rooting them.

A few things I <3 are; art, rockabilly and 50's pin-ups, 80's hair metal, Strong coffee with too much sugar, Vintage Sindys, history, anything kitsch and ridiculously cute! Hello Kitty, fashion illustration, gothic art, Fairies, fairy art, anything celtic/pagan, incense and candles, going to gigs and festivals, colourful and glittery items, pink, gangster films, Hawaii - I collect vintage hawaii postcards (one day i will go!) being a nerd!
