After around 15 attempts, I finally finished the Poppy necklace!
I made 100 Poppy beads for the necklace, to commemorate 100 years since the start of World War 1. I really like how the necklace turned out.
It will be in display in the Riddoch Art Gallery (Main Corner, Mount Gambier), as part of the South East Art Society “Remembrance” exhibition. Opening 6.00pm Friday 31st October.
I am trying to make a necklace for the South East Art Society “Remembrance” exhibition. I can picture it in my head, and draw it on paper, but the actual piece is causing me a bit of trouble.
It is going to have 100 of my handmade glass poppy flower beads on it, as a commemoration of 100 years since the start of World War 1.
I can’t tell you how many times I have pulled this necklace apart! I think I am on iteration number 10. It’s nearly right, but it has been tricky getting all 100 beads onto the necklace.
The exhibition at the Riddoch Art Gallery opens Friday October 31 at 6.00pm.
As a general rule, I don’t really like the colour yellow (I know)!
However, every time I make a necklace with yellow in it, it gets snapped up! So, I guess there are people out there who DO like yellow.
This necklace is actually really beautiful. I’m sure the right person will find it soon.
Remember how I tipped all of my beads into the display tray the other day? This is another necklace that came out of that inspiring move! I love all of the different shades of green in this necklace, and the little splash of blue here and there really makes it pop! Perfect for summer.
I can’t believe I didn’t do this years ago…well, maybe it’s because I only recently saw these box frames in the shops! I tipped all of my beads into the frames yesterday, and started making jewellery last night. It was just awesome to see all of my beads laid out like that. I am enjoying putting some new pieces together, like this stunning etched black/grey necklace. Oh my, can’t wait to make more jewellery!
The beads in this jewellery were made from a Peroni Beer Bottle!
I thought it was kind of funny to use an Italian Beer bottle to make the beads, especially as most glass beadmakers use Italian Glass to make their beads!
So, it started out as a bit of a joke, but I actually really like this green. Lovely and bright emerald green.
These beads were made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle

I love how it has turned out. The colour is just perfect to wear with anything, and with that little bit of sparkle, you could even find yourself wearing it out at night time (if you are lucky enough to go out at night time)!
