Year: 2020

Day 46. Pearls mixed with gold beads made from a wine bottle and coated in Pixie Dust while the bead is still hot. Loving the contrast here, and you may have spotted a different way to use toggle clasps too 🙂

Day 45. Happy V Day everyone! Hearts all round. Tell someone that you love them. Life is short.

Day 44. Another splash of yellow, this time I have made the beads with the complementary colour purple. It’s kind of a rule that yellow and purple should look good together, and voila they do! Well, at least I think they do 😛

Day 43. A little pop of yellow to brighten your day wherever you are, and how wet you are feeling. I like that the grey beads are similar but different, and the yellow brings them together. 

Day 42. Sometimes I think that I will sit down and plan some earrings, and sometimes I do that because I need to make the beads to be able to make the earrings. Then sometimes I sit down and really just hope that I will find some beads in my collection that will work, like today! It’s kind of cool, because I don’t think I would have sat down and drawn these, it’s just nice that they happened.

Day 41. I have been using some of the leftover beads from the wine bottle studs in earrings, you may have already noticed? I usually have to make more than two beads to make a pair that matches, so I often make 6 and then use the beads for other pieces. Hmm, no wonder I have so many leftover beads at the moment!

Day 40. Today I have made 9 pairs of stud earrings from a wine bottle and they are all available for sale on my website! I was asked to make something similar to this last year, and I loved the end result so much that I decided I would make some more. Visit my online shop to find their special introductory price.

Day 39. Silver and gold. I love putting silver and gold together. I wear all of my rings with combinations of silver and gold, and hmm, now I think about it, these earrings would be perfect for me! Beads made from a wine bottle.

Day 38. I kind of like movement in earrings, I like the way they bounce around and swing and do whatever they like. I made these earrings to match some of the necklaces that I posted to @canberraglassworks. Beads made from a wine bottle.

Day 37. I made these earrings to match some necklaces heading to @canberraglassworkstoday! Earrings are made from wine bottles and the necklaces are made from a mix of recycled glass bottles.
