SALA exhibition for Canopy Interiors

Wow, all the beads have been made!  And I still have about 8 weeks until set-up.  I’m not sure how I feel about that yet.  Anyway, I’m looking forward to making all of the jewellery with the beads that I have made (and who knows, maybe something else will pop up while I’m making the jewellery to inspire some more work)!

Etched glass

I am really enjoying the look and feel of the etched glass at the moment, I seem to be etching every bead I make!  It feels really lovely when you wear it too.  Here’s another bracelet, this time with all sorts of shapes…

Side-tracked….

I have been a bit side-tracked with my new work!  I am getting ready for my SALA exhibition at Canopy Interiors in Mount Gambier.  The exhibition opening is not until August, but I’m actually nearly finished, which makes a nice change!  I’ll start sharing some images with you here.  First up is one of the new bracelets that I’ve made with etched beads in a variety of shades of green.  So simple and pretty, perfectly lovely colours:

New jewellery

I am getting ready for some SALA (South Australian Living Artists) exhibitions coming up in August.

The first exhibition will be held at Canopy Interiors, Mount Gambier. They are one of my favourite shops down here, selling all sorts of items from clothing to homewares. I thought it would be fun to create a range of jewellery inspired/influenced by the latest trends in homewares, so I’ve called this exhibition “Home-Wear”. Here’s a sneak peak at a couple of items:

A Year on Etsy!

I’ve been selling on Etsy for about a year now, and I have learned so much from being there!  I started out with some pretty dodgy photos, descriptions, and some older style jewellery.  A LOT of learning has gone into this year.

To celebrate a great year on Etsy, and rather than retiring these old listings, I have decided to put them on sale at 40% discount!  (No other discounts to apply, please).

You can find the listings here:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/AussieJulesOnline?section_id=15493029&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3

First in best dressed, I hope you find something you might enjoy!

South Australian Living Artists (SALA) 2014

I’ve had an exhibition during SALA since 2008. I love the process of getting ready for an exhibition, from finding a venue, to dreaming up a theme, to making the beads and jewellery. This year I am really lucky to have had 2 SALA proposals accepted, and I’m working hard to get them all organised. It’s tricky switching in between the 2 exhibition, because they are both so very different.

Here are a few photos from the exhibition that will be held at Ladybeads (62 Unley Road, Unley). Ashley is so supportive of my work, and all of the leftover beads will be available for sale during the exhibition.
