My favourite necklace this week….
I have made all sorts of jewellery this week, in preparation for my shift at T’Arts on Saturday, but this necklace is easily my favourite. Red beads with a splash of orange and black. Looks great on!

Online Shopping – do you do it?
I buy a lot of things online, but I rarely buy jewellery (for obvious reasons)! I have bought shoes online with no problems. I have bought books online, same result. I have not bought any clothes online yet. I really do like to try things on before I buy them (I’m old school that… Read More

Coopers Clear – Recycled Glass Bead Jewellery
My personal favourite at the moment is the jewellery made from the Coopers Clear Beer bottle! So pretty, feminine, perfect for summer…I could keep going on! It just works with whatever I am wearing, I don’t really have to think about it.
Peroni Beer Bottle – Recycled Glass Bead Jewellery
So, it started as a bit of an ironic idea….making beads from an Italian beer bottle! But often the ideas that seem a bit silly to start with can end up being the best ones. Have you ever noticed that? I love the colour of this glass, the green is so bright and crisp (er,… Read More

Yellow Pops with Purple and Grey
OK, I have to confess…I’m starting to like YELLOW! I have been seeing it everywhere lately. Home decor shops, clothing shops, spring flowers…everywhere! I even picked up a yellow top in Target yesterday and wondered…”could I wear this?” Unfortunately I am not the right colour to wear yellow successfully, but maybe you are? It works… Read More
Green with a splash of blue
I have a story to tell with this necklace. I started making these “drip” style beads quite a few years ago, when a customer asked me if I could make a necklace with that type of bead. She had a favourite necklace, and she was pretty sad when it broke, but then she found my work… Read More
Red and Purple
I love the colours in this necklace. They really do work with so many different colours of clothing. Reds, purples, black, white, pink….hmm, all of my favourite colours!
New Designs
I have had a lot of fun making some new necklaces this week! These are still a work in progress, but I am liking this style, with the spiky beads at the bottom of the necklace. It has been so great to have access to all of my beads in the one place (remember those… Read More
