Have you visited any SALA exhibitions this year? I have ticked a few off my list, but many more to go! “Island Welcome” at the Migration Museum was a definite highlight for me. A big thanks to @murraybridgeregionalgallery for supporting my SALA exhibition, and I loved seeing this article pop up in the Adelaide Review!

I don’t think I will ever get tired of mixing blues and greens either! Beads made from a Banrock Station wine bottle.

I don’t think I will ever get tired of making beads from wine bottles. Especially when I can change their colour with a little bit of smashed up glass, and they turn out as pretty as this.

When you get asked to make a simple pair of earrings, and you decide to make some more! The beads in these earrings were made from a Banrock Station wine bottle.

A little twist to a favourite pair of earrings. I love the angles and lines in these earrings featuring beads made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle.

I love working with Bethany Wines wine bottles. These flower earrings are super pretty, decorated with pixie dust, they are a versatile pair of earrings you could wear all day!

Experimenting with freshwater pearls in between the recycled glass beads made from a wine bottle.

Another piece that made it to the opening, I wore it and so did my daughter! I actually wore it doubled, and Ciara wore it like this. Made with neoprene tubing and beads made from gin, wine and vodka bottles.

These earrings were lucky enough to visit my exhibition opening, but didn’t make it in the final cut of jewellery for the exhibition. It was one of my first trials at soldering two rings together and it went completely wrong! I felt like crying a little, because I had some designs that required more than one ring to be soldered together, instead I kept practicing and got enough rings joined to make several pairs of earrings. The little bead was made from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle.
