Day 11 – Green carafe earrings

Recycled glass earrings | green beads made from a green carafe

A friend of mine found this green carafe and thought I might like to make something with it. I certainly did like melting this glass. It melted really nicely, no fizzing, and stayed true to it’s colour too.

I made a sweet little pair of earrings for my daughter who got her ears pierced last year and has been asking (a lot) for a pair of earrings made by me!

Day 9 – Gin and Tonic Necklace

Recycled glass necklace | beads made from a Hendricks Gin and Fever-Tree tonic water bottle

Is it too early to say that this might just be my favourite necklace for 2019?

The beads are made from Hendricks Gin and Fever-Tree Tonic water bottles. The colours look awesome on the red leather. I tried this on with a black top and it looked super cool. Then I tried it on with a red top, and it looked great! I think it would look good with so many different clothing options. Layer it two times, or even more, it’s very versatile.

Day 7 – Double strand recycled glass necklace

Inspired by Monday! On Mondays I am going to share a piece of jewellery inspired by “something”! Today’s double strand necklace featuring beads made from gin, wine and vodka bottles was inspired by a recent custom order for a double strand necklace. It turns out there are many ways to create a double strand necklace! I like this version that I made today where all the beads sit in the middle of the necklace.

Day 6. Sunday sets

I know from doing the markets, and from orders that I get, that lots of people like wearing jewellery that matches. I think there are lots of ways to make things “match” and I am going to try some different things here on Sundays.

This set features beads made from a French champagne bottle.

Day 5. Behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes Saturday! This year I am giving myself permission to rest on Saturdays. While it is awesome to create something every single day, I thought this year I would schedule a break from making each week. A chance to show you some behind the scenes images. This pretty much sums up my workspace when I am making beads!

Day 4 – Bethany Wines

On Friday’s I am going to feature jewellery made from new glass! It could be anything and I am quite excited to make that happen this year. It’s always interesting to try new glass, sometimes it works perfectly like this Bethany Wines bottle. I am making a sweet little range of jewellery from these recently discovered, very old bottles.

Day 2 – Recycled glass necklace

Recycled glass necklace | mixed beads feature in this necklace, from vodka, wine, gin and beer bottles.

Today I wanted to make a really versatile necklace, using lots of different recycled glass beads. I love how this necklace on leather came together. It features beads made from gin, vodka, wine and beer bottles! A great mix of colours.

You can wear this necklace doubled, tripled, quadrupled, or more if you like. Lots of options depending on what you are wearing and where you are going! It has a little clasp to help you layer the necklace.
