Month: June 2021

I am so excited to be attending @thelastofthecreativesmarket on June 20 at Crafers Institute Hall from 11am until 3pm. I am getting some old and new work together, all at special EOFY prices! Hope to see you there.

Our third creative challenge was inspired at first by Frida Kahlo, and slowly shifted towards Mexican Folk Art. I looked at lots of images, and the bird motif kept popping up which led me to make brightly coloured bird beads! Margie also used birds in one of her paintings.

Our second creative challenge was “Native Flora, Our Way” and I had to have a bit of a think about this one, because I have often used flowers and floral beads in my jewellery, but this time I wanted to do something a bit different, so I opted for a more abstract flower look, and added lots of colourful seed beads into some of the necklaces! I really love how this collection came together and have lots of images to share. Keep swiping to see @tangerinemeg paintings that were inspired by native flowers. Or just come to @tartscollective on Saturday (tomorrow) and see it for yourself because I will be there!

Wow! Thank you for all the lovely feedback on our window display at @tartscollective. Thank you to the people who have already had a chance to visit. It’s so nice to hear how everyone is enjoying the collaboration. Margie and I set 3 creative challenges for this exhibition. The first was to use Kandinsky’s Concentric Circles in Squares painting as inspiration. I made a very colourful collection of jewellery, while @tangerinemeg painted some magnificent cats! It’s worth visiting just to see the detail in the painting on the top left of the first image.
