Spending the day in my happy place today! Lovely to see what the other artists have been making at @tartscollective recently too. So many beautiful things in one place.

The final earrings listed on Etsy as part of my Melted Moments release. I also have a discount on all items in the shop. No code needed.

I enjoyed making beads for the Melted Moments project, it was fun to go on a journey through all the old glass bottles and objects I had here. The earrings here were made from an interesting mix of bottles and objects that had been donated to me.

These timeless, long sparkly earrings were made from two different vodka bottles, an orange jug and a pink depression glass lid. I enjoyed trying a mix of different recycled glass objects during my Melted Moments project and these were some of my favourites!

It was fun picking out the glass to use for the new release of jewellery on Etsy. I used a mix of old glass objects and bottles. These earrings are simple, stylish and have a story to tell.

Four new Melted Moments bracelets have just landed in my Etsy shop!

Each one is completely unique, made from a mix of beads I created during my Melted Moments project — a month of melting recycled and vintage glass, one bead at a time.

Every bracelet tells its own little story, combining colour, texture and transformation. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

 

I’ve re-made a selection of beads from my Melted Moments project and slowly turning them into little treasures — earrings and a couple of bracelets. They’re nearly ready to list! Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement on this project, it’s meant the world. Available on Etsy soon.

One of the things I love about what I do is that I can pull pieces apart and start again when they don’t feel quite right.

When I finished my Melted Moments project, I was thrilled with the final necklace – long, dramatic and an interesting story. But the few times I wore it, something felt off… it wasn’t quite telling the story I wanted.

So today – I cut it up and reimagined it. The beads are still in their original order, but this time I’ve let them shine on their own, strung simply without a clasp so I can wear it a bit more loosely. Now it feels like the story fits.

What do you think?
(And yes… I also turned the project into a book)!

Big thanks to @bridgewater_arts_centre for inviting me to be part of SALA this year. I am grateful for the opportunity to exhibit my work alongside so many amazing artists. I loved this photo, taken last weekend, of people wandering through looking at my work and the work of @rosigates. If you haven’t had a chance to visit, maybe this weekend is your chance!

Long garden flower trio earrings! Wear the flowers together on days when you need a pop of colour. Wear a flower and a bee on the days when you need something a bit quirky!
