Change One Thing. The beads in the first necklace are made from Coopers Pale Ale beer bottles. I changed one thing in the second necklace, adding some Banrock Station Wine bottle beads in between for a completely different necklace.
What one thing could you change to have an impact on climate change? Could you reduce food waste? Could you start a compost heap?
Two beer bottle necklaces finished for a special project I have been working on for the past few months. I love that both necklaces are the same length, both are made from beer bottles, both have tiny silver spacers in between…but both look so very different. And all I changed was the shape of the bead!
It’s the start of a series of work titled “Change One Thing” and it’s a conversation about what we can change about our lives that might have an impact on climate change. Can you turn the power points off at night time? Can you walk instead of driving? Can you think of where you can make a change?
We may not be able to do everything to help reduce our impact on climate change…but we can do something. What is one thing you could change today? Would love to hear from you.
Working on a special project at the moment that involves making beads from beer and wine bottles. Thanks to Finn for taking some photos while I was doing that today. Can’t wait to share more of what I have been up to.
Another new recycled glass bead necklace finished and available at @tartscollective, it was so nice to find all of these beads in various collections of green, brown and purple beads. Beads made from wine, gin and tonic bottles.
A mix of gin, champagne, wine and Green Depression glass beads feature in this green recycled glass necklace.
All the blues take 2. Recycled glass beads made from gin, vodka, wine and tonic bottles. Ready to take to @tartscollective on Saturday.
All the blue recycled glass beads made from discarded gin, wine, vodka and tonic bottles. This necklace was a lot of fun to make. Can’t wait to take it to @tartscollective on Saturday!
Classic colours of red, black and white. I make all my necklaces adjustable so you can wear them the length that you need them to be.
I love it when there are all sorts of beads left over from all sorts of projects and I can make necklaces like these with a delicious mix of handmade glass beads.
Have you ever swirled beads around in a container? It’s kind of mesmerising and sounds so good. Yesterday I swirled around some blue and green beads, and came up with this necklace.
