Aniyume aims to explore fan art in the form of glass, combining an increasing market and a niche craft. Art is an expression of emotion, and fan art is similar: an expression of appreciation to the mangaka and animators who create such compelling characters. Anime means more than a show to me and has helped me overcome difficult times in my life. Aniyume contains a jewellery series as well as a dip pen inspired by some of my favourite characters. Each piece is an exploration of the character’s unique personality and design, and portrayed through intricate and sculptural glasswork.
