OK, so I am spending some time with silver this week, trying to get some new work made for my exhibition in Penola. Yesterday I kept the silver work simple, and used one ring for the earrings. Today I thought I would delve a little deeper and used two rings for the earrings! They tick… Read More
When I lived in Mount Gambier, a few years ago now, I had a big studio room where I was able to do all sorts of different work, including silver jewellery work. I dabbled in it a little bit, for a little while, and I always thought it would be nice to do more of… Read More
For the Mother’s Day window at T’Arts this year the theme of “Mother Earth” was decided. For me that suits perfectly my recycled glass collection of jewellery! I just had to narrow down a colour way, and I managed to do that during my daily recycled glass challenge! It ended up being purple and green.… Read More

This week it’s time to show you the blue version of the necklace and earrings. I particularly like all of… Read More
I tend to work with a lot of green, brown and blue glass – think wine, beer and spirit bottles. Luckily I really like those colours, so it’s easy to work with them. And I like the message they are promoting, which is all about recycling! But the other day a friend of mine gave… Read More
I’m working on some new jewellery for the T’Arts Mother’s Day window. The theme is Mother Earth, and I’ve used all sorts of purple and green glass objects to create a mix of new beads. This is the first pair of earrings that I have made for the display. I love putting purple and green… Read More
