Available soon! I have a few little projects on the go and one of them is to create a collection of tiny recycled glass earrings on these little hooks that close when you wear them, making them nice and secure. My first pair is made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle. This will be a limited release of 25 different earrings with beads made from a range of colours and shapes. Stay tuned.
A few more pieces for the collection.
I am often making a collection of beads and I start thinking…what if I use this colour? Or try it this way? Or add some of these beads to the mix? This collection has been going places I wasn’t expecting it to, adding transparent coloured glass has added a whole new dimension. I will be getting this release ready to put online around the last weekend in April.
I had such a lovely day at @tartscollective yesterday. So many interstate visitors coming to enjoy the football in our awesome state of South Australia, and what perfect weather they’ve had too. I also had a chance to make 5 new necklaces while I was there. The shop is open from 12-4 today!
This article was from 2007! Fast forward 17 years and so much has changed and yet I am still drawn to making heart-shaped beads! Some things will never change I guess.
My heart obsession continues. Thanks for the lovely feedback on the earrings. It was so much fun putting this bracelet together.
Happy Easter weekend! I have started making the earrings in this new collection of red and pink heart shaped beads. Will be available online towards the end of April.
Love this colour combination! Getting a nice assortment of beads ready for an online release towards the end of April. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be exhibiting my work at the Pepper Street exhibition celebrating T’Arts 21st birthday. Stay tuned for news of the online collection instead.
We have been trialling opening on a Sunday at @tartscollective and I have to say it’s been a lovely time here so far! Lots of visitors finding us in our 21st year for the first time! I have tidied up my display and made a list of things to bring next time.
A few more test heart-shaped beads to add to the collection! So much fun to make.
