This would have to be one of my favourite colour combinations. With beads made from a Hendricks Gin and Fever-Tree Tonic water bottles I think it’s timeless in terms of colours, and also very elegant in terms of styling. This necklace would work so well with so many things in MY wardrobe, especially during the… Read More
Hello! Yesterday I did a big road trip with the kids, and I didn’t have any energy left after that to be creative! I thought about it, but I was just up too early and home too late. So in lieu of yesterday’s creativity, I am sharing a photo of myself! I have been making… Read More
I had some beads leftover from yesterday’s batch of flower beads. So, I added some small round beads that I made from a black vase that I found in an op-shop to make this cute flower necklace. I like the contrast in this necklace. It’s a little bit 1970’s.
I was a bit sad when I dropped my favourite orange cup the other day! Don’t worry, I didn’t cry. I just thought it was a shame that my favourite cup was broken. And then I thought “well, why not make some beads from it?” So I made some flower beads, and then made these… Read More
I was scrolling through my instagram photos this morning, wondering what I should make today. Trying to make something a bit different from what I have made, because that’s kind of the point of this year! To make all sorts of jewellery from recycled glass objects. I realised that it had been quite a while… Read More

I hope you have enjoyed the colourful earrings that I have been sharing as part of my Colour Play series of work this month. Don’t forget, you can visit the shop to see the whole collection. The final colour way is green.
This is the final pair of niobium earrings to show you. I had four different colours to play with and all of them were great and worked well with the different beads that I teamed them up with. I think this is the most simple colour combination, which might make it the most versatile.
Yesterday I was looking through some old photos of my jewellery. I came across some old work that I had made for a Flame On exhibition at Kirra Galleries. The earrings were asymmetrical and I really liked them. I think most of the earrings sold from that exhibition, so it made me wonder why I… Read More
I have a few different pairs of niobium earrings to share. I like the little copper sparkle in this pair! Teamed with beads made from a Coopers Ale bottle, they are really quite pretty.
