This is the last collection of jewellery to show you from the Bethany Winery exhibition. I have loved using the Bethany wine bottles, and this range is dedicated to the beautiful colours in the bottles. I love the shape of these beads, they are so different and really interesting to work with, they have pushed my work in new directions for sure!
This range of jewellery was created with Bethany Wine bottles, and is inspired by the growth of the vines. I have loved watching the grapevines change from bare sticks, to fully formed with leaves and grapes.
I have used a selection of wine bottles from the winery. I love the lighter green in this range! So pretty. The earrings below are a new shape, and I am really loving how they look.
One of the things I wanted to do in this exhibition was to represent some of the beautiful colours of the Barossa. The grape vines change throughout the year, leaves change colour, grapes grow, it’s really quite a spectacular place. At the moment the vines are all barren, and they are starting to grow again, ready for the next harvest.
These pieces are all on display at Bethany Wines, they are just out of Tanunda (which is a great town to visit too)!
I’m so pleased to be part of the Pepper Street Art Centre SALA exhibition for this year.
The theme of the exhibition is “The Art of Craft” and I was inspired by the colour wheel to make this selection of jewellery. I always love working with the colour wheel! I love the big dotty necklace. And I could see myself wearing the earrings (of course)!
Thanks to everyone at Pepper Street for their huge amount of work getting the exhibition up and running, well done.
This style of necklace looks so good on. I love the black and white beads in this, along with the contrasting etched clear beads. Makes the necklace really interesting.
When the window display theme for SALA at T’Arts was announced, I knew I had to be part of it! “Greenery” is the theme for the window, and I have made all of the beads from recycled glass sources. Embellishing some, leaving others undecorated. I have made some really new work for the window, and hope you enjoy it while it is there for the month of August!
So, this week, in an attempt to get ready for 3 SALA exhibitions, some Etsy orders, and the Etsy x Square market on July 29…..I made over 400 beads! Phew, now it’s time to clean them all….
Continuing my obsession with all beads black and white!
I have made the necklace with assorted black and white beads. I love the contrast of black and white. And the black square hoop earrings are easy to wear, and look really funky! Definitely one of my new favourite styles of earring.
So, after a really lovely break by the beach with the family, it’s back to reality! I have to get work ready for three SALA exhibitions!
Yes, lots of work to do now to get these exhibitions delivered.
Some more black and white jewellery in this series!
I love putting black and white together in these beads, and reversing the colours too. A bit of a statement piece, the necklace works perfectly with lots of clothes in my wardrobe! (Think black, grey, white and red)!
I love these earrings too. The bead sits flat against your earlobe, and then the silver wire hangs at the back of your ear, making it quite a secure stud style of earring. I have seen them called threader earrings, and I think that name works well, as you do kind of thread them through your lobe.
If you like the look of any of these pieces, they are available in my online shop. Click on any of the photos to take you there!
