View from my studio…

Oh, hello!  I’m just finishing my coffee and social media obligations, and then I’m jumping on the torch to make as many beads in one day as I possibly can!  I’m always limited by the space in the kiln, and the number of mandrels I have ready to go…and sometimes, when both are running low, it can be frustrating when I still have lots of beads to make.  I hope to make a solid dent in the bead-making list today!

This is a busy week of gallery top-ups, and also playing with some more new ideas for an exhibition that I will be part of at Red Poles.  The exhibition runs through June and July, and I’ll have more information on it in a separate post soon.

Thanks to everyone who visited me at the Hahndorf Academy Market on Sunday.  It was a lovely day (a little bit cold at times), and it was lovely to see what items you were all loving.  It looks like I need to make lots more of the stud earrings going forward!

So, a few people have asked me how the move went, and I have to say it was great.  The kids now have their own bedrooms, and I have a studio that has been seriously tidied up!  I am probably not in the ideal part of the house for making beads, but I am going to make the most of the time that I am there.  At least the room has air conditioning!  Not sure I’ll need it for much longer though.

I have released a series of new jewellery over the weekend, all inspired by Greenery, the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2017.  Check out the shop for more information.

I’ll be at the Murray Bridge Handmade Market on Saturday 25 March.  I’m really looking forward to doing a market again, it has been a while!  I’ll have some old and new work available on the day.

Hope all is well wherever you are!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat, look at and buy my jewellery yesterday. There are many, many places where you could have spent your time and money, and I am so incredibly grateful that yesterday some of you chose me.

Etsy Made Local

Last year the first ever “Etsy Made Local” market in Adelaide was simply amazing.  The weather was perfect, the street was beautiful and filled with some great vendors selling beautiful products.  I had a super time there, and I’m looking forward to being part of the event again this weekend.  The event in Adelaide runs alongside the French Market, so two for the price of one…even though it’s free entry!

I have made lots of things for this market, and I’m hoping that it’s enough, but I’m also happy to post orders to people for anything that I don’t have, and I’ll even do that for FREE!

Happy Christmas shopping…
