Thanks to everyone who visited me at Gathered on the weekend. It was such a lovely market to do! I’m finishing off some work for Kirra Galleries at the moment, and I’ll be able to show you some photographs soon. Their annual Flame On exhibition starts September 8, and runs until October 8.

This week’s colour play is all about gold and silver metal. For the gold beads I have used gold leaf on a beer bottle to make the beads! And the silver beads have fine silver wire and silver foil on a wine bottle! Quite the contrast from last week’s silver and gold jewellery!

And the… Read More
At the moment EVERY moment I get in the studio is a delight!

I really enjoyed playing with Olive Green over the last few weeks, and I am running a little bit behind on the colours for the next month….so I am posting a recap of the photos that I took for Olive Green.
For my “inexclusive” exhibition at Cats in the Loft I decided to try some new ways of making recycled glass necklaces and earrings. Usually I stick with one type of glass, creating the whole necklace with the same colour. But this time I mixed it up a little bit…
