A year of recycled glass jewellery

Hello, and welcome to my blog for 2018! I’m a big fan of New Years. I also love new months, new weeks, and new days! This year I have decided to challenge myself a little bit. I’m going to share a photograph of recycled glass jewellery every day. I love making beads from recycled glass, and I love that people resonate with it so much.

To kick the year off I have made a necklace from some of the recycled glass beads that I made from a Coopers Ale bottle. I love the sparkly gold and silver beads in between.

To be honest, I really love that a product destined for a bin can be transformed into a beautiful, wearable piece of art! Thanks for joining me on this journey for 2018.

2017 Photos

It was lovely to look back on the most liked photos on Instagram and discover that they were all about recycled glass!

I love making beads from recycled glass, and I am so grateful for the opportunities to exhibit my work in so many amazing galleries around Australia.

It was a great experience taking this work to markets, and talking to people about the process and the product. My favourite compliment was “this is the ultimate in recycling.”

2017 saw a big push for me with my recycled glass jewellery, and I’m looking forward to exploring it further in 2018.

Dotty necklace and earrings #5

It’s no secret, I do love the colour wheel, I love rainbows, and I love the way colours sit next to each other like this!

For these beads, I used a clear base and added the colours to it, which has made the beads really sparkly with lots of amazing colour.

Both of these items have sold, but do let me know if you’d like something similar to this.

I have had a lovely day driving to the Barossa Valley! I delivered some new brightly coloured recycled glass jewellery to Bethany Wines. I love using their wine bottles, and I am thrilled that their customers are enjoying the jewellery on display there.

Mixed Recycled Glass Bead Necklace

I don’t often mix the recycled glass beads in a necklace, but I really like it when I get around to making necklaces like these. One of a kind, made from champagne, beer bottle and Green Depression Glass.
