Colour Play Recap

I’m still working on the next colour play range of work, so instead of sharing that, I’ll just have to recap what I made this month!  I’m so grateful that most of this jewellery has found a new home!  Thanks for supporting my creative business.  I love making new things to share with you.  (Hint: click on the photo to take you to the shop)!

Colour Play – Warm – Yellow

And finally, it’s time to show you what I made in Yellow!  I always find yellow a tricky colour to work with, because it’s not a particularly favourite colour of mine!  But, I enjoyed making these yellow beads!  I like how they turned out.

Red Poles Exhibition – Sneak Peak

I have several photographs of the work that I have at Red Poles.  I couldn’t make it to the opening of the exhibition, so I am looking forward to heading to McLaren Vale at some stage to see all of the work on display.  This exhibition is on until July 31.

Artist Statement

I was born and lived on the Yorke Peninsula for all of my childhood.  My adult years have been spent in a variety of locations, and I find myself calling Murray Bridge home now.  As I was driving back to the Yorke Peninsula earlier this year I noticed how similar the colours of the landscape were.  Same blue skies.  Same green trees.  And the brown of the river matched the brown earth of the paddocks that had been harvested.  I have tried to capture those colours in my work for this exhibition, using all sorts of recycled glass to make the glass beads.  My dad collected the pale blue wine bottle that I used for some of these beads.  My husband drank the beer that made the brown beads.  My mum and I enjoyed a glass of sparkly that I used for some of the green beads.  My children didn’t even know they were contributing when I let them have some juice!  My home is my family and they are all part of this work.
