Another statement necklace featuring my handmade recycled and Italian glass beads in reds, purples and pinks.

Heading in to @tartscollective to help out with the busy shifts. Taking this necklace made with a mix of my handmade recycled and Italian glass beads.

I am making some gin and tonic pendants but I can’t work out which chain I prefer….which one would you choose?

I made a couple of new necklaces while I was at T’Arts yesterday. They feature handmade glass beads that I have acid etched for a matt finish. If you’re looking for a necklace that you could wear with almost anything, these are an option. They are comfortable to wear all day, every day.

It’s already quite warm here at @tartscollective, but I have the air conditioner cranking and I have just finished fluffing around with my display. So many pretty things in the shop at the moment, it’s nice to see our artists making new things.

A little batch of beads that I made for something a little different. I am getting this small collection ready to take to @tartscollective on Saturday when it’s my turn to work in the shop.

Need some gift inspiration? How about a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin and a pair of earrings made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle!?

I love how dark the Hendricks Gin bottle is, it’s almost black but when you hold it up to the light you can see it’s actually a very dark brown. The extra colour on these beads makes them really interesting and the square shape is one of my favourites. Long or short options available.

Last weekend I spent a few hours at @regine.schwarzer_studio trying some new things for an exhibition I have planned for next year. I want to be able to incorporate some more silver techniques, and because it had been a long time since I had done any silver work I got a bit of a one-on-one refresher with Regine. I learned so much and can’t wait to see which direction this ends up going in. Always good to have some different skills to use. Now I have a bit more confidence to try it in my own studio.

Or maybe a splash of red is more your thing? These earrings are made from Italian glass and are available in my Etsy shop now.
