Marina specialises in seasonal pieces such as Christmas decorations for children, but will undertake any project and is constantly expanding her range. What started as a hobby to occupy restless hands has now become her art and Marina’s natural talent shines through in every piece that she makes. Her handmade crafts are ideal as a unique personalised gift for every occasion.
