Quite a road trip today as I stopped at each of the beautiful galleries who have represented my work, some for significant amounts of time. It was so lovely to catch up with everyone, and I am incredibly grateful for all of the support that I have received from them along the way. I think I have been at @hahndorfacademy for about 15 years, so it felt strange to say farewell to them. I saw a contemporary jewellery exhibition at @seppeltsfield , and felt like that’s what I wanted to move towards (bigger pieces with even more interesting stories). I ended up at @tartscollective where I was able to pop a few more items on their sale table. I feel like I have made the right decision to focus on being more creative this year. @naomischwartzjewellerydesign has already offered a mini exhibition when I am ready, and I am looking forward to having something to work towards. Phew, it has been a long day and I just wanted to say a big thanks to these galleries for their support. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. Also a shoutout to @pepper_street_arts_centre for their support (I collected my work from them last year).

Farewell 2021! Looking back on the Top 9 photos of the year I feel very proud of my small creative business. Some of the highlights included: putting together an exhibition with @tangerinemeg at @tartscollective, making recycled glass jewellery from all sorts of glass objects, trying new things creatively, selling online and lovely feedback from customers. So, 2022….where to now? I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Aspects of my life have changed over the last few years, and I am slowly changing what I am doing too. I am still going to be making glass beads and jewellery, but it might look a bit different this year. I need to get the balance between production and creativity back, so I am removing my work from all of the galleries that sell my work, apart from T’Arts! I will also be selling online. I hope this frees me up to be even more creative this year. Happy new year to you! I hope it’s an awesome year

It’s sale table time at @tartscollective ! I have some discounted earrings, necklaces and bracelets on the table along with pieces from other artists in the collective. Always a lovely chance to pick up some beautiful pieces at reduced prices.

My bead making desk is clean and tidy! Ready for the next time I make some beads. Wishing you all a happy festive season and look forward to sharing new work with you next year 🎄

At @tartscollective today and loving this combination of one of my necklaces with a Fiona Trueman silk top.

I have managed to find enough birds and flowers to make 8 more mismatched pairs of earrings. They will be winging their way to @tartscollective on Saturday when I have fun looking after the shop for the last time this year!

Thinking it’s nearly time to tidy my bead making area, ready for a fresh start in 2022. Just a few more orders to finish now before Christmas, then time to relax and set some new goals for 2022.

Open now @stationmastersgallery5255 is the “Life’s Moments” exhibition featuring 5 of my longer style necklaces. Can’t wait to pop in soon and see it all. It’s open through December and January.

All set up and ready to go at @thelastofthecreatives market in Crafers today! Easy drive up the freeway, and a beautiful day for it. Earrings 2 pairs for $50. Studs 2 pairs for $25.

Some more of the 2 pairs of earrings for $50. I will also have 2 pairs of studs for $25. Whatever I have on the day is on sale, including bracelets and necklaces (they will be discounted by 20%)! Hope to see you at @thelastofthecreativesmarket tomorrow. Doors open at 9am and close at 1pm.
