Meet the artist behind the magic

Discover the story of Martine, the heart and hands behind every unique creation at Made With Love by Martine. Learn about her journey, her passion for crafting, and what inspires her beautiful work.

After retiring to the beautiful Lake District, I decided to transform my lifelong hobby into a small business. My love for creating and upcycling items is at the core of Made With Love by Martine. Many of my seashell crafts are a testament to this passion for giving new life to forgotten treasures. I adore all things 'quirky', and you'll see this playful spirit reflected in my hand-painted terracotta pots, affectionately known as Pot Peeps.

About Martine

Crafted with joy and care

Each terracotta pot is carefully hand-painted, often given a unique personality that brings a smile to your face. My seashell crafts involve a delicate process of selecting, cleaning, and artfully arranging shells, sometimes combined with decoupage techniques, to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces.

The joy of creating for you

For me, the most rewarding part of this entire process is the immense pleasure I feel when someone chooses to bring home something I have personally designed and crafted. Knowing that my creations will bring joy and a touch of unique charm to your space is what truly drives my passion.

"Martine's creations are absolutely beautiful and so unique. You can feel the love and care in every piece!"
