Tiny treasures: the amazing shrinking artworks that become beautiful jewellery

Tabatha Davison of Tabby & Mimi moved to New Zealand in 2010, after a working holiday here when she met her partner. She has gone from London, to Queenstown, to the sleepy town of Athol – where she loves spending her time on long walks by the river with Poppy the dog. She also works at the local Brown Trout Cafe, and volunteers for the rural fire service. Tabatha loves making jewellery and custom pieces for people, and says it’s a real joy to see someone’s face light up when they receive her work.
