About MeThis ball necklace comprising twenty-five balls, graduating in size, is fashioned from recycled electrical wire taken from disused television sets. Bailey Smith also used this medium to make hats, corsets and shoes. She won the Scottish Designer of the Year Award Competition for her innovative work in 1991.
