Walk on the Wild Side

I have been getting some new work ready for a Fringe exhibition at Prospect Gallery.  It’s a group exhibition, and most of the artists at T’Arts are involved.  The theme is “Walk on the Wild Side”, and I have made some beads and jewellery that are quite different from what I would normally make.  It’s been fun to think and make outside of my comfort zone!

Nearly sale time…

Around this time every year I have a look at the jewellery that I have on hand: some of the jewellery returned from consignment shops after they have been refreshed, some from exhibitions, and some experiments.  I spend a bit of time thinking about whether to take them to markets or whether to put them in different galleries, or whether to sell them online.  It’s kind of tough.  Most of the time I just think “I’ll put them on the Sale Table at T’Arts, and whatever doesn’t sell, then I’ll think about what to do with that.”

So, this year there is, for some unknown reason, an abundance of earrings!  Not so many necklaces.  Not sure if I’ll find any bracelets yet.  I haven’t quite finished getting things ready, but here is a sneak peak of the earrings that I have got ready:

The sale starts on Saturday, December 26 at 10.00am.  T’Arts is located in Gays Arcade, off the Rundle Mall in Adelaide.  The sale will finish after about 2 weeks.

12 Days of Christmas – Day 6

I took the jewellery I made for the 12 Days of Christmas special to the Flinders Street Market over the weekend, and I actually sold several of the pieces there!

Day 6 was going to be another colour variation of the leather wraparound necklaces and simple bracelets, but it has sold (along with a couple of the other items I have already shown).

I have had requests for specific colour combinations, and if you do like any of the necklaces in the shop, but you need them to be specific colours, please let me know and I will create a custom order for you.  You can email me, or send me a convo on Etsy, or a message on Facebook (whatever is easiest for you).

Thanks for understanding.

See you back here tomorrow for Day 7!
