Swamp Witch Creations has grown out of my fascination with nature and herbal lore. We have forgotten so much about the uses of different plants, with many labelled as weeds - the word 'weed' actually comes from the Anglo-Saxon name for all herbs or small plants. A number of plants we label as 'weeds' today (dandelion & nettle being two prime examples) have long been valued for their medical or health-giving properties.

The naturescapes are all made from real plants, creatures etc that have all been found by myself (no creatures have been harmed). They are my way of capturing a piece of the incredible world around us.
