Day 44. I made this to match yesterday’s earrings. Featuring beads made from Hendrick’s Gin bottles, and silver links made by me, I really love how this one sits on the wrist. And…so happy to be out of lockdown, well done SA.
Day 43. A little bit of sparkle for the last day of lockdown here in South Australia! These beads were made from a Hendrick’s Gin bottle. I have recently seen a new Hendrick’s gin being promoted that looks like it’s in a dark blue bottle!!! I can’t wait to visit a bottle shop to see… Read More
Day 42. I hope everyone is OK if they are in lockdown, nearly finished for some of us. I have to confess I didn’t mind having to stay home on the weekend, it was miserable here. Anyway, I had some chain leftover, so I thought another pair of earrings would be fun. The beads have… Read More

Day 36. Today I made a mandala! Lately I have been drawing and colouring in mandalas, and today I thought I would try making one with beads. Loved doing this.
Day 35. Finished the last pair of earrings today! Gosh, they POP! I ended up making 14 pairs of earrings for the SALA exhibition at @tartscollective and can’t wait to see what the other artists have created for this year’s theme of “Birds of a Feather”.
