Recluse Colony

Hello and welcome to our art collective Recluse Colony! We started up this artistic group about a year ago now to provide ourselves and other young, talented, previously unknown designers with a stepping stone into the art industry. What sets us aside from most of the other creative brands out there is also what makes us so special. We use recycled and upcycled resources where possible to make a stand against unnecessary mass production and waste. Plus, the materials we use are so popular as they’re unique! We take pride in being quirky and using items that people wouldn’t automatically have connected with utilising creatively. As well as jewellery and clothing we have recently launched a 'Home Accessories' range that has been received well and are currently in the process of designing and manufacturing weird and wonderful ranges of alternative greetings cards.

Just finished my Thursday night yoga class and feel so relaxed and calm - plus the aches in my muscles from running the past few days have been eased by all the stretching so a great session all round!🧘🏻‍♀️😌🙏🏻 . . #yoga #yogaathome #yogaclass #yogi #yogisofinstagram #yogapractice #mindfulness #zen #relaxation #stretching #stretch #stressrelief #detox #destress #breathe #deepbreathing #muscles #warrior #warriorpose #downwarddog #fitness #healthy #health #mentalhealth #selfcare #yogic #yogicbreathing https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcwGrNnEEO/?igshid=17ng3440sjur9

❄️ Now Playing: 🎶 Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder, Where it's so white as snow.. Privately divided by a world so undecided, And there's nowhere to goooo... 🎶❄️ This weather’s SNOW joke!

Is there anything better than getting into a freshly made bed after a hot shower 🙌🏻 finally got my limited edition Emerald Haze Baphomet by @killstar @kreeptures_net and super hard to get glow in the dark pumpkin cushion so I’m very happy.

Sometimes you need a little something extra to get you through hump day. So put a Normandy baking Brie in the oven, topped with dried cranberries and a sour cherry and aloe gin glaze. It appears looming over a wheel of cheese has done the trick for me 👌🏻🤤🧀 . . #brie #bakingbrie #comfortfood #sloegin #cranberry #cheese #cheeselover #humpday #happyhumpday #foodporn #foodphotography #cheesy #meltedcheese #epicmealtime #love #cheeseboard #normandy #lunch #lunchinspo #selflove #followforfollowback #follow4followback #foodie #baked #goodfood #treatyoself https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_WYuCnAPE/?igshid=1g0iode655pg4

“The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” - This is a quote that has really resonated with me since starting with my personal trainer in September, I’ve been eating more protein rich, nutrient dense food, keeping hydrated and keeping moving and I honestly feel fantastic. Here’s to 2021 💪🏻 . . #personaltrainer #pt #reformationtraining #healthy #healthyfood #goodfood #salmon #protein #healthyfats #healthyrecipes #2021 #newyear #challenge #challengeaccepted #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #annwigmore #inspirationalquotes #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #followforfollowback #loveyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CJtyXgMn4i7/?igshid=1j5bflw205q7f

Bit of spare time on my hands tonight so I decided to audit the tub of Cadbury Heroes. Just 4 Twirls but a whopping 9 each of Eclairs and Dinky Deckers, arguably the two worst of the bunch?! Another devastating blow for 2020, can I speak to the manager please?! 💁🏻‍♀️😂 . . . . @cadburyuk #cadbury #cadburychocolate #canispeaktoyourmanager #karen #karenmemes #karensgoingwild #karenmode #heroes #chocolate #selectionbox #chocolates #wispa #fudge #chocolatelover #caramel #audit #ocd #latenight #latenightthoughts #aintnobodygottimeforthat #miniature #2020 #followforfollowback #miniatureheroes #2020memes #2020strikesagain https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKFIxfn5ny/?igshid=x5ofzrcsab0z
