What do you do when you accumulate lots of small round beads from years of making extra beads? Make necklaces! I am so happy with how these necklaces turned out. I have made a couple of them. They are colourful, bright and happy pieces that can be worn every day.
In my happy place today! Looks like I need to get cracking on making some new necklaces for @tartscollective as there are a few empty busts now.
It’s starting to look a bit like a florist shop at my house with so many of these glass flower sticks ready for my window exhibition at @tartscollective starting on February 23.
So happy with this! I never intended to add leaves to the mix, but a happy accident meant I ended up with a leaf press and I am so glad it did. I can’t wait to make more of these!
I added a new press to my collection this week! This one can make leaf shapes, with a bit of help from me. Looking forward to testing it out more today. Happy with my first effort.
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch about the flower sticks. I am so encouraged by all of your kind words. I will have all sorts of colours and shapes ready for my window exhibition at @tartscollective from February 23.
I am feeling very inspired by flowers at the moment, so I am making lots of flower jewellery for my window exhibition at @tartscollective too! I will be setting up on Sunday February 23!
Just a little something I am playing around with. I am thinking of making some of these with flower sticks all ready to go in a lovely vase filled with coloured sand. An everlasting bunch of flowers. Would love to hear what you think…
More flower sticks to share. I love the pinks/purples/reds in this batch. My kitchen table is starting to look like a florist as little bunches of glass flowers are slowly accumulating ready for my window exhibition at @tartscollective from February 23.
My latest obsession! I am getting ready for my window exhibition at @tartscollective and I have been making so many of these flower sticks in so many colours. Every time I sit down to make them I have a new idea that I need to try the next time I make beads. I can’t wait to share more with you. My exhibition will be set up on Sunday February 23!
