I am getting some recycled glass jewellery ready for the lovely Ivana at Purple Cockatoo Gallery!

Ivana’s gallery/shop is located at 316 Magill Road, Kensington Gardens.

Open Thursday to Saturday from 10-3.

 

Oh, I do love seeing what the lucky newsletter subscriber picks!

Yes, every month a lucky subscriber to my newsletter gets to pick a pair of earrings from my Etsy shop or my website shop.

This month, Sandra, the lucky winner, chose these long red heart earrings.  I love them!

Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my newsletter.  For your chance to win a pair of earrings, simply subscribe by clicking here.

I admit that the Peroni Beer Bottle beads started as a bit of a joke.  You see, it’s an Italian beer, and that is where most of the glass that is used for glass bead-making  is manufactured.  I thought it would be funny to take the Italian Beer bottle, and recycle it to make glass beads!

Funnily enough, the green of that beer bottle is probably the prettiest bright green glass that I have used.  I have made beads from a huge variety of wine bottles, but none of them come close to the brightness of the Peroni Beer.  I’m glad I tried it.

Here are some photos of recent works, with links to my shop.

No walk for me this morning, in fact it’s been almost a week since my last walk, and I’m really missing it.  I’ve been quite sick, the sickest I’ve felt for a long time, and I don’t like it at all!

Here’s to a week of feeling better.  I think I’m almost better, but I’m still trying to get as much rest as possible.  It’s hard being sick, and having kids, and having a small business to run.  Not ideal at all.

On Saturday I’ll be at Flinders Street Market again.  Round She Goes (the vintage market), is on at the German Club, so it is a great opportunity to check out 2 really cool Adelaide markets.

Hope to see you there.

Spring is in the air!

Thanks to everyone who has visited my SALA exhibition at the City Library or Pepper Street Art Centre or T’Arts.  I love hearing from you.  Glad to hear you are enjoying the other work on display too.

SALA is so important to me as an artist.  This year is my 8th solo SALA exhibition, and it has been a great opportunity to display my work in a new environment.

Thank to the Adelaide City Library for having me, to the Adelaide City Council for helping me with the costs, and to SALA for pulling it all together!

Have you seen any good exhibitions this year?

 

I had a wonderful weekend in Melbourne with my mum!  But I’m also glad to be back at home with my family.

• I hope you get a chance to visit some of the wonderful SALA exhibitions that are on at the moment.  My work is on display at the Adelaide City Library, Pepper Street Art Centre and T’Arts.
• The sale in my Etsy shop ends August 9.  The next sale will be February 2016, so if you were thinking about buying anything, now is a great time.  Use the code FLASH30 when you checkout.
• It’s time to think about my next markets which will be at Flinders Street Market on Sunday August 16 and Saturday August 29.  Really looking forward to them, and I’ll have some new products available there.

Er, I have to admit, I did not go for a walk this morning.  Instead I was in my studio!  The day before I set up for my SALA exhibition, and I’m almost there, but it’s a bit chaotic!

I will be at the opening of my SALA City Library exhibition on Friday from 6.00-7.00pm.  Hope to see you there!

I have a very special offer for the next market that I am doing at the Flinders Street Market….are you ready?

For every purchase over $15, you will receive a FREE bracelet making kit!!  There are 12 left to choose from, and they contain all of the beads, findings and instructions needed to make a really sweet bracelet!

I will be at Flinders Street Market on Saturday and Sunday (18-19 July) from 10am until 3pm.  Hope to see you there!!

 

 

I mentioned last week that I am able to make the Italian Glass range of jewellery listed in my Etsy shop in a variety of colours.  I have created a page to showcase each of the colours that I can easily do.  You can find it here: Italian Glass Colours.

If you need something slightly different from this, please just ask.

I would normally post something today, but life has kind of gotten in the way this week.

You know how it is?  Kids.  Business.  Problems.  Life.

I have some exciting new things in development, but they are going to have to wait until next week to share with you.

Until then, have a great week!
