Spent a lovely morning kayaking around the lagoons and along the Murray River, gathering photo inspiration for an exhibition I am starting to think about. I am liking how much this has got me thinking about how to turn some of this waterscape inspiration into beads and jewellery!
Things are slowly but surely selling out in my Etsy shop and I am so grateful to everyone who has stopped by to make a purchase this week. The 10% discount is available until the end of October, or until items sell out. I am not renewing listings on Etsy so when they are sold, they are gone. I am winding things up online as I really want to focus on making more one-off pieces going forward.
Chilling in my happy place today! Just finished tidying up my display at @tartscollective, time for a cuppa.
Thank you for all the orders coming through in my Etsy shop. It’s been fun to see what you are choosing! Lots of blues and greens in the mix. Can’t wait to clean these beads and start packing your orders. I have 10% discount on all items in my Etsy shop, and when they are sold I am not re-listing them. Sale lasts until the end of October or until items are sold out.
Let me help you with some gift shopping! My Etsy store has 10% off all items, and once they are sold they are not being re-listed.
It’s time for me to wind things up on Etsy. I am offering 10% discount on the listings that are still there. Free shipping. Once they are gone, they are gone, and that’s the end of an era for me!
Alas, first place eluded me this year at the Murray Bridge Show, but I was happy with 2nd and 3rd prize! Swipe through to see the necklace that I also entered that didn’t get a prize!
Sometimes it’s just nice to be able to make something special for myself! I wanted a necklace I could wear with anything. This necklace features Trade Beads that I bought in America when I was there over 15 years ago. In between are some of my favourite beads from my recent SALA exhibition. Can’t wait to wear it now.
I took the neoprene from the original necklace, and mixed the yellow/grey/green tone beads from both collections to make this very versatile long necklace that you can wear as two or three layers. Something new from something old.
First step is taking it all apart and seeing what’s there. I really like the yellow, green and grey beads…and that‘s where I think I might start.
