Dropped a little collection of Johnnie Walker Double Black earrings at @tartscollective today! The colour is dark, moody, stormy – absolutely incredible. I’m a little bit obsessed with this new glass.

Melted Moments Monday. I was recently given this amazing 1986 Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix port bottle and was excited to see how it would melt in the flame. I was happy to open the kiln and find these gorgeous green beads. I embellished one of them with gold pixie dust as a nod to the original bottle.

Some pretty blue one-off pieces available in my Etsy shop now. A mix of Italian and recycled glass. Check out the One Off section to see more.

They’re ready to ship straight away, so no waiting!
I’ve been loving these smaller releases—it feels special to share a few unique pieces at a time.

When someone mentioned they had left an empty scotch bottle in my drawer at T’Arts I thought it was going to be brown, so imagine my delight when I opened the drawer and found this fabulous bottle. The colour is gorgeous, even nicer when you hold it up to the light. Looking forward to making more beads from this bottle.

Melted Moments Monday! Welcome to the very first post in my new weekly series, where I’ll be sharing beads and jewellery made from recycled glass objects!

This week’s piece began with a beautiful old perfume bottle. I had a feeling the colour would vanish in the flame… and it did! So I played with adding colour back in, and the result is this sweet little pair of earrings.

I’m not a winter person. I know some people love it, but it just makes me want to curl up with coffee all day!

This year I still curled up, but I also added a sketchbook and set myself a goal: regular small monthly releases leading up to Christmas. It’s kept me creating, making, and getting ready for the months ahead.

The next release will be online soon! You’ll find asymmetrical bracelets featuring a mix of my beads, gems and pearls, plus smaller earrings for when you just need a pop of colour.

Coming soon!

So many people visited @tartscollective yesterday and commented on the amazing products we have for sale in the shop. We try really hard to maintain a range of different artists, something for everyone! I have been a member for about 18 years now and every year I think the collective gets better and better. Here’s a snapshot from yesterday of some of our artists.
