Borderline Creative and me...

I began working with resin as a way to unwind — a quiet space for creativity, colour, and calm. Before long, people started asking for personalised pieces, and what began as a hobby grew into Borderline Creative.

Borderline Creative is more than a name; it’s a philosophy. It represents the place where boundaries soften between art and function, chaos and control, memory and imagination. Resin is a medium that invites experimentation — a fluid form that transforms into something lasting and deeply personal.

As the business evolved, so did the heart of what I create. Today, Borderline Creative specialises in flower preservation, memorial jewellery, and breastmilk keepsakes — pieces that honour life’s most meaningful moments. From wedding bouquets captured forever in resin to ashes, hair, or fur set into memorial stones, each item is crafted with care, respect, and intention.

“Borderline” speaks to the experimental, the bold, and the unexpected — the creative edge where risk-taking and intuition meet. Every pour is a balance of precision and spontaneity, a dance between what can be controlled and what must simply be trusted.

“Creative” grounds the brand in its purpose: to make, to honour, and to transform. Whether it’s a statement piece or a delicate keepsake, each creation is shaped by craftsmanship, emotion, and fearless imagination.

Together, Borderline Creative becomes a celebration of individuality, a tribute to memory, and an invitation to find beauty just beyond the edge.

About me

I’ve always been drawn to the beauty hidden in everyday moments and the quiet magic of making something by hand. Resin craft captured my heart because it’s a medium that’s both unpredictable and full of possibility — every pour becomes a small experiment in colour, texture, and light.

As my work evolved, I found myself using resin not just to create art, but to preserve memories. From transforming cherished flowers into lasting keepsakes to crafting memorial jewellery that holds ashes, hair, or fur, resin became a way to honour life’s most meaningful moments. I love how it allows me to protect nature’s delicate details, celebrate love and loss, and create pieces that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

For me, crafting is more than a hobby — it’s a way to bring comfort, beauty, and connection into the world, one shimmering piece at a time.

I cannot thank Elani enough for my ashes ring and keepsakes she did for me! I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else. I knew she would take perfect care of the ashes and everything to do with making what I asked for. I will always recommend her to anyone who wants anything that needs care taken. She’s perfect!
