I just wanted to tweak my square/diamond shaped earrings a little bit, so I made these as a more “square” pair of earrings. Of course, square is not the correct mathematical term, rectangular is the correct term. I also love that these beads were made from South Australian wine bottles (Bethany Wines from the Barossa… Read More
I have started working on some new exhibition pieces for my “Glassblumengarten” exhibition that will be at Bethany Wines for the SALA Festival in August.

I am pleased to report, they survived! Today I have made… Read More
