Madeit Artist - Bec from West 4th Studio

You can find Australian Artist Bec, the creative force behind West 4th Studio nestled up under the trees 🌳 Her and Dave have held the stall there for the past 10 years! Her stall, adorned with exquisite handmade items, is a reflection of her passion and artistry. Bec & Dave use gorgeous Japanese papers or "washi" papers and digital images to make a collection of beautiful earrings that can be ordered in hook, leverback or stud styles.  Crystal clear glass, hypoallergenic hooks and findings and a whole lot of love!
