I have quite a selection of beads leftover from my SALA exhibition and I am starting to make some new bracelets with them. I love the mix of reds and blues in this one.

Happiness for the first official day of spring! These little birds with red wings were inspired by the Peace Window at All Souls Church where I have just packed up my SALA exhibition! Another wonderful opportunity, thank you @salafestival for providing artists with an opportunity to share their work.

I am the artist in the window at @tartscollective today! If you are out and about visiting @salafestival exhibitions tomorrow, I will be at All Souls Church for their final day from 1-4pm.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every part of this years SALA exhibition. From planning and designing, to making beads and jewellery, and then displaying my work in the beautiful All Souls Church in St Peters. I hope you have had a chance to see the exhibition, it closes on Sunday and the final part of the process will be packing up and seeing what has sold and what is left to take to @tartscollective !

A long necklace featuring beads from my 1,000 glass beads project, all of them have a red aspect to them. Love the versatility of this style. My SALA exhibition closes Sunday at 4pm. I hope you have had a chance to see the beautiful church it is happening in. Big thank you to All Souls Church for the amazing venue.

Two more red necklaces that feature in my SALA exhibition at All Souls Church. The exhibition is open today from 1-4pm.

I made 12 necklaces for my SALA exhibition at All Souls Church. Inspired by the angels with red wings in the beautiful William Morris windows, I love the little bird with red wings! The exhibition is open at various times this week, details on the SALA website.

A massive thank you to everyone who visited the SALA exhibition at All Souls Church yesterday. It was so lovely to connect with so many people and talk about my 1000 glass bead adventure! Thanks to the church for one of the nicest exhibition openings I have ever attended. An honour to have my work displayed next to Eamonn Vereker! The exhibition is open at various times for the next two weeks. I will be back again on August 28 from 1-4.

Almost ready to install my exhibition this morning before the opening at All Souls Church at 2.00pm this afternoon! Just finishing price lists, labels and then I think I can get my kitchen table back again!

Japan is definitely on my list of countries I would like to visit. Their attention to detail in their craft is exquisite and I admire many Japanese bead makers. On Monday we said goodbye to the Japanese exchange student we hosted for the past couple of weeks. We had such a great time showing her the beautiful parts of the state we live in. I am now head down finishing my SALA exhibition! It opens Saturday at 2.00pm, not long now.
