I am given all sorts of broken and old glass objects, and I was curious to see what would happen with this chipped purple cup! It definitely stayed purple, although a slightly different shade after being in the flame 🔥

It was a bit of a gloomy and wet day in the Barossa yesterday, but it was lovely to stop in at @bethanywines_barossa where the fire was burning and I had a chance to top up my display of jewellery there. I love using their wine bottles to make beads.

Japan has been on my bucket list for a very long time, so when I finally booked a trip (next year, can’t wait) I celebrated by indulging in some Japanese Sake. And then I made these earrings as a reminder to myself that it’s up to me to make sure my bucket list gets ticked off! What’s on your bucket list?

I love trying new glass bottles to see how they turn out. I was really intrigued by this colour as I don’t think I have seen anything like it. It’s a bit darker than the Banrock Station blue (see last photo). I actually really like this colour, but it works better making smaller beads than larger ones. Super satisfying!

If you have a chance to visit our exhibition at Gallery M you will see a small collection of flower jewellery made by me. For some reason I forgot to take photos of the jewellery! There are art works from many other @tartscollective members too. Our last hurrah for our 21st birthday!

The bottles from @bethanywines_barossa come in a beautiful range of colours, which means I can make necklaces with a lovely mix of colours for them. Looking forward to a day trip to the Barossa to restock very soon.

Loving these little two-tone earrings. I used to make lots of etched versions of these for the Jam Factory many years ago, so it’s nice to revisit the idea a little differently now.

New flower earrings and necklaces are available in my Etsy shop until Saturday, after that they will be available at @tartscollective. I am looking forward to my day in the shop and putting new things on display there!

New glass flower jewellery available in my Etsy shop now. There’s a mix of long and short earrings, along with some necklaces in a variety of colours.

Later today I will be listing some one-off pieces in my Etsy shop. If you have subscribed to my newsletter you will be the first to know when they are available. I will have 10 pairs of earrings and 2 necklaces.
