Today I am sharing a slightly new style of Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings.
Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings
Category: Recycled Glass
Luscious
I love it when I have all of my recycled glass beads out on my desk and I can see them all, and start working across the colours, instead of just using one single colour.
This luscious bracelet is what happens:
Beads made from: Hendricks Gin, Coopers Ale, Pink Depression Glass, and 2 old purple glasses.
A customer request for a blue/green necklace
I have been sharing lots of photos of jewellery that I have made from Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Gin bottle beads, and last week I shared this photo.
I had a lovely response from one customer who then asked if I could make a necklace without the rings, so I have made this necklace to see if it’s what she is looking for. Fingers crossed.
The sweetest hoops
I know, I’m a sucker for lovely hoop earrings, and I think I have found a new hoop to add to the collection. It’s simple, elegant and classic. I love the way the purple beads drop from the hoop. These beads were made from an old purple glass, and then acid etched to take the shine off the beads.
P.S. please forgive the less than amazing photograph, it was almost dark when I finished working on these earrings! Tomorrow I will do better.
New favourite bracelets
Sharing two of my favourite bracelets from the “Be-Gin Again” exhibition, currently on show at Local Images in Penola until June 30.
Grateful
Feeling ever so grateful after the wonderful opening at Local Images on Friday night of “Be-Gin Again” and exhibition of my recycled glass bead jewellery, where all of the beads were made from gin and tonic water bottles!
It was lovely to chat to so many people who were really interested and enthusiastic about my work. Lovely to see how my new work was received. Lovely to see lots of red stickers!
Thanks Cate, and thanks Penola.
I found this leaf on my walk around the lakes in Mount Gambier on Saturday morning and it seemed to match how I was feeling.
Opening night!
I’m having a tiny break from making after creating 40 pieces for “Be-Gin Again” which is the exhibition being hosted by Local Images as part of the Penola Arts Festival.
It has been a crazy week of making all sorts of pieces for this exhibition. All of the beads were made from gin (and tonic bottles)!
The exhibition opened tonight, and already quite a few pieces have sold. I’m thrilled that the work has had such a good response here! Thanks Penola, you rock!
Handmade recycled silver chain
I’ve had an idea for a necklace in my head for a long time. It went a little something like this:
Handmade silver chain. Glass beads made from a Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Gin bottle.
Blue and Green recycled glass necklace
I love this necklace! The beads are from a Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tanqueray Gin bottle, and the copper beads in between have been enamelled by me!
“Be-Gin Again”
I’m getting all sorts of gin and tonic jewellery ready for my exhibition at Local Images in Penola, opening Friday at 5.00pm.
