Welcome
My creative business began after being made redundant & giving birth to my first & only child. I felt I needed time to be creative myself, after offering a creative therapeutic space to disadvantaged children & young people for over 8 years full-time. Previously as a student in the early 90s, I made Native American inspired creations to generate an income, but also as a way of celebrating
& holding on to where I had mainly grown up, & its rich nature loving pre-colonisation culture which continued somehow to survive despite adversity in modern times. This fascination, the importance of the sun symbol & a play on my name Alison led me to come up with the business name All Is Sun (Creations). I noticed that finding artistic creations that celebrate nature without harming nature were difficult to find, & so I started making my own, & this formed the basic values behind my creative business. The beauty, colours & magic of nature, along with ancient cultures & myth are my main inspirations. My aim is to create, in a earth caring manner, objects that enchant, inspire & uplift, without harming what I so want to celebrate in nature, hence the upcycling, eco-friendly, sustainable, zero waste philosophy behind my business. All my creations have an upcycling element to them, including found objects, scraps from businesses (including the fashion industry), & preloved materials from charity shops. In this way not only do I rescue many items from landfill, but my business also supports numerous charitable causes through my purchases of second hand goods. I incorporate as many natural biodegradable materials as I can into my creations, & never use harmful substances or glue guns. All my packaging is recycled/upcycled, as are my business cards, & even my stall displays. A lot of thought, effort & time goes into working fully in this eco-conscious manner, but in exchange my creations are guilt free for my own peace of mind, & for that of my customers. Bright Wishes ☀️
