We did it! Our window exhibition is all set up at @tartscollective in Gays Arcade. I am so grateful to @tangerinemeg for suggesting an exhibition together. I think our work looks fabulous all together, so colourful and bright! I hope you get a chance to pop in and see it before it bumps out. Last day to visit is June 26.

Window Exhibition at T’Arts Collective
So my exhibition looks a bit like this at the moment! But by this time tomorrow it will be all set up at @tartscollective alongside the beautiful art of @tangerinemeg. Today I am photographing and putting labels and prices on each piece. You can visit T’Arts Monday to Saturday from 10am until 5pm and my next shift in the shop is Saturday June 5 so I might even see you there.
Colourful Dotty Bead Bracelets
Colourful dotty bead bracelets heading to @tartscollectivefor my window exhibition with @tangerinemeg ! We set three creative challenges, and while I found some easier than others, I really like all of the jewellery I have made for the exhibition. These bracelets will be part of the Mexican Folk Art challenge, along with the bird earrings and necklaces.
Colourful Bird Necklace
And a couple of necklaces featuring colourful bird and dotty beads. So many pretty colours in a necklace that will brighten even the greyest of days (like today)!
Mexican Folk Art inspired Bird Earrings
I have been having a lot of fun making all sorts of colourful earrings for my window exhibition at @tartscollective. They are inspired by Mexican Folk Art.
Bird Earrings
One of the creative challenges we set for our exhibition was “Mexican Folk Art” which is very colourful and incorporates beautiful motifs like flowers and birds. I chose to focus on birds. This pair of earrings features the test beads I made to see if my idea would work or not. I used clear glass for these birds, added some smashed up glass for colour, and then added colourful wings. Wait til you see all the other colourful pieces I have made with bird beads! Exhibition with @tangerinemeg is on for most of June at @tartscollective in Adelaide.

Window Exhibition at T’Arts Collective
Have you guessed who I am exhibiting with at @tartscollective in June? My newsletter is going out today with all of the news, and a sneak peak of our work (and an early chance to buy some of it too)!
Wishing for a little magic…
Wishing I could say “abracadabra” and all of these beads would magically turn themselves into beautiful pieces of jewellery! With less than 2 weeks to go until I set up for my exhibition at @tartscollective, I am feeling like I need something magic to happen to get it all done! Breathe in 🧚
Native flower inspiration
Sharing some of the inspiration and the start of some finished earrings for my upcoming window display/exhibition at @tartscollective. It’s easy to be inspired by the native flora in my local area, with little splashes of colour popping up in lots of the trees that I see on my daily walk. A beautiful mix of greens, pinks, yellows, browns. I wanted to use that mix of colours in the jewellery I am making, with little splashes of colour in the beads.
