Thank you Murray Bridge for a wonderful market yesterday. I had a fabulous time and loved seeing all of the bunches of flower sticks being picked! My next market is on Saturday December 20 at Fabrik in Lobethal. That one runs from 11am until 9pm. Hope to see you there.
All set up and ready for a lovely day at the Murray Bridge Makers Market near the @murraybridgeregionalgallery
I am looking forward to being part of my local makers market tomorrow from 10-2. Lots of amazing makers, food and music. Hope to see you there.
I had to share it as soon as I made this! I have been taking some of my old earrings apart and turning them into necklaces. Today while I was doing that, the little bee decided it wanted to be a necklace too. It was just sitting there amongst a whole bunch of beads. Happy accident! I will have this one at the Murray Bridge Market on Sunday!
Melted Moments (not quite Monday)! I was looking through all of the little test beads I have been making this year and discovered I had more than enough green ones to make a bracelet. I also added a few other colours for a little pop.
If you’re looking for something a little bit different for Christmas this year, then @tartscollective is a great place to find presents. I have a bit collection of jewellery and flower sticks there.
The 10% discount sale in my Etsy shop will end Sunday. Discount applies to one-off and made to order jewellery. Just my way of saying thank you for shopping online with me!
Melted Moments Monday. I have been making beads from recycled glass for over 16 years and I feel like I have always embellished green bottles with green frit (smashed up glass). So when someone asked me to make a pair of earrings that had browns and greens, I thought I would try something different and add brown frit to the Moet Champagne bottle beads. When you hold these up to the light you see more of the green glowing through. It’s funny how one small change can lead to a whole bunch of new ideas!
Looking forward to these two fantastic handmade market opportunities in December. The first one is in Murray Bridge, Sunday December 7 from 10am-2pm at the @murraybridgeregionalgallery and the other one is Saturday December 20 from 11am-9pm in Lobethal at @fabrik.arts Hope to see you at one of them!
Melted Moments Monday. I am always intrigued by coloured glass and how it will react in the flame. This cup melted nicely and I like how the earrings honour the glass, with the bead being darker at the bottom and lighter on top!
