Day 28 – Enamel Mismatch Earrings

Recycled glass earrings | pink recycled glass beads with enamel copper tubes

Inspired by Monday! I was tidying my desk this morning and found a bunch of copper tubes that I had enamelled for an exhibition last year. I had actually forgotten how much I enjoyed the process and the finished result! I am definitely going to be making more pieces this year. This pair of mismatch earrings features enamel copper tubes and the pink beads from Friday!

Day 25 – pink glass

Recycled glass beads | beads made from a pink cup

I am loving Friday’s because it’s the day I get to find some new glass and test it out to see how it melts into beads. I don’t often use pink glass, but I was curious about this cup. Actually really happy with the result. Will definitely be making some more beads with this glass for other additions to projects.

Day 21 – Inspired by Monday

Recycled glass jewellery | silver and gold beads made from gin and beer bottles

I found some more silver and gold beads in my collection and was inspired to make this necklace featuring beads made from gin and beer bottles. 

I was also inspired by a recent conversation with my daughter where I was trying to explain to her what “contrast” meant.
