About Wild South Crafts
I’m Annabelle, a crafts person and musician living in mid-Cornwall. My work (both music and craft) is inspired by the natural world around me – animals and landscapes. I hope my work captures something of that beauty and brings joy to others. See the latest updates about my work
What I do
Bookbinding
I make hand-bound notebooks, diaries, photo-albums and guestbooks using beautiful patterned paper and a colour palette inspired by the Cornish coast. These one-of-a-kind creations are perfect for capturing brilliant ideas, treasured memories, or just making you smile each day when you use it.
Wildlife photography
I love getting out in nature and taking photos. I sell notecards featuring some of my photos of beautiful British wildlife. You can buy them individually, or as packs. I also sell a bookmark featuring a barn owl on one side, and a kestrel on the other. Large prints of these images (and many others) are also available on request – ask me about them!
Linoprinting & quilling
My linoprints and quilling are inspired by my wildlife photographs, or songs. Paper quilling is an intricate but less well-known craft. I try to capture the power and beauty of animals in my creations. If you have a wildlife-inspired subject you would like to commission a quilled artwork on, get in touch and we can discuss your ideas.
My music
I’m a multi-instrumentalist who loves a wide-variety of musical styles. There are links to my albums below.
Going South are a jazz sextet with a love for funk, blues, swing and anything with a groove.
Meles Lutra’s music is part celebration of the beauty of nature, and part elegy for what has been lost. Inspired by their local landscape and wildlife, we create woodwind-focused folk, with influences including jazz, classical and even a bit of prog rock.
The Prognosis are an award-winning prog rock band creating original music.
