What a lovely day!

Day 234. I have had quite a lovely day. I drove to Strathalbyn for a radio interview with Happy FM. It was nice to talk about my art and it was also wonderful to see all sorts of pieces from my SALA exhibition have already sold. While I was at the gallery a lady was looking at my work because she had seen it advertised in SA Life magazine! All of these amazing opportunities thanks to @salafestival and @stationmaster5255gallery. I am incredibly grateful for the support and opportunity to showcase this new range of work. Today’s earrings are inspired by some comments about my work and how beautiful blue and green look together.

Layered Earrings

Day 230. A slightly restyled earring from the other day, adding a jump ring for the beads to sit on, adding another bead in between the short and long beads. Similar to yesterday, but still different. I like taking these ideas and seeing where they go.

Green Speckled Earrings

Day 229. Ah, this is more like it. I still have an idea smouldering from yesterday, but this style really appealed to me today. I have ended up wearing them because they go perfectly with my favourite dark green speckled with colour jumper! I rarely keep my own jewellery, but this pair is just lovely and fun to wear.

Coral and Green Earrings

Day 228. Love the colours in these beads. The earrings were an idea that popped into my head while I was walking this morning, but I don’t think they quite turned out how I had imagined them. Still…worth a try. It has given me another idea for tomorrow.

Making every day…

Day 227. Thanks for all the love for the Ciara collection. I always find it interesting to see what happens after an exhibition is installed. It’s like I have so many ideas forming from that intense period, and then all of a sudden a huge amount of freedom to be even more creative. I have a lot of new ideas to work through and that feels great, especially after 227 days of making earrings. I am still excited about the challenge and looking forward to exploring these new ideas further.

The Ciara Collection

Day 225. The Ciara collection 💐 Inspired by the clothes my daughter was wearing the other day (olive and green), I also asked her to pick some other colours so I could make a necklace and bracelet too. I love how these have come together, and I really like the mismatched earrings!
