Day 16. Green Depression Glass. It’s where my recycled glass journey started! In 2009 my SALA exhibition at Lustre Galleries featured a range of jewellery made from recycled glass beads, and it all started with the Green Depression Glass.

Day 7. Today I made headpins! I use these sterling silver headpins for all of my earrings, long and short. It’s a lovely process, with lots of steps, and worth the effort. I also wanted to tell you that this is the final week to pop into @tartscollectiveto see my window exhibition with @tangerinemeg !… Read More
