When I make glass beads from recycled glass sources, I try really hard to let the beauty of the glass shine through. In these sets, the glass is only decorated with some fine silver wire. The colour is so beautiful in each of them. Bombay Sapphire Gin, Green Depression Glass and Skyy Vodka.
So many deadlines. The following 2 weeks are filled with big projects that have to be finished!
First, I have almost finished another semester at Uni. 2 subjects. 2 assignments and 1 test left to do. Nearly there….and then it’s a solid 6 weeks until the next semester starts! I am picturing myself reading some books in that time.
Second, my window display at T’Arts is starting to come together. The theme is “Something new from something old” and I have to say I am quite liking what I am making. I am looking forward to setting it all up on May 28.
Walk with a difference today. It was on the treadmill. My husband is still away, so I am limited in the walks I can do. The treadmill is nice, it gets the walk ticked off the to-do list, but I have missed my morning walk with my dog to the river and back.
I’m working on my new Colour Play jewellery. It’s coming together nicely, and will be available for sale in my new online shop on Thursday!
I’m also working on a window display for T’Arts. That is going to be all about recycling. Recycling of old glass products, old necklaces, old ideas….I’m excited to see what else pops up before it’s time to set up.
Don’t forget to visit T’Arts while their fundraising window is set up. All items are $10 or $15 and all proceeds go to the McGrath Foundation. I have donated 9 pairs of earrings, and I think a few pairs have already sold.
Oh, I do love the beads that I can make from a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle. I don’t drink gin (not yet anyway), so if you drink this particular gin, and you don’t want to throw your bottle in the bin, please contact me, and I’ll help you to get rid of it!
I love it when shops display my work so excellently!

I have been dreaming/planning some things for 2016. Nothing too crazy, because I am actually really happy with how things are going…but you got to aim for something!
I’ve been thinking about 2015 a lot. The good, and the not so good things. It’s been helping me to think about what I want to do in 2016.
2015 was actually a pretty good year, I can’t complain. We moved to Murray Bridge, and that has worked out so well for us that we ended up buying a house here.
I was most pleased with the following things from 2015:
It’s lovely to reflect on what has happened this year. Now I can’t wait to start dreaming about the future!
Pepper Street Art Centre are getting ready for their annual Little Treasures exhibition. It’s a really cool pre-xmas exhibition, where all of the work is:
It’s a perfect place to start or finish your Christmas shopping!
I will have a range of recycled glass bead jewellery made from a Skyy Vodka Bottle.
Here are the details:
Purple Cockatoo Gallery is a little gallery in Norwood, owned by Ivana DiStasio. I have known Ivana for many years now, since joining T’Arts. She is another glass artist, working her magic with fused glass.
I should show you some of her work:
Ivana recently had exciting news…she has opened a gallery in Norwood. It’s such a great location, and I am wishing her ALL THE BEST! She recently posted this photo of how she is displaying my work on Facebook, which I loved.
A cloudy start to the week here. A cooler day today. I have been:
Hope you are having a great week.
