I like the mix of beads in this bracelet. Featuring beads from Tanqueray and Hendricks gin bottles, plus a French Champagne bottle.

Perfect cocktail necklace
I love how this necklace came together. I love all of the tropical colours and fun in the one necklace. I feel like I want to take this necklace out dancing! It makes me feel like drinking cocktails on a warm summer evening…
More luscious green and brown recycled glass jewellery
I’ve been going through a bit of a green and brown recycled glass bead phase lately! I’m loving this new necklace. Beads made from Green Depression glass, beer and gin bottles.
Dotty bumpy beads
I love how this one came together. The beads were all leftover from some earrings that I made for my T’Arts window display. They are all made from various recycled glass objects. Lots of fun with this one.
Love hearts
Oh gosh, how I love the love heart beads in this necklace! I love how one sits one way, and the other one sits the other way. I love how they are made from wine and gin bottles. I love how one is sparkly and the other is shiny. I love how the beads around them mix and match and pick up the colours in the love heart beads!
Coopers Sparkling Ale earrings
I love trying different ways of making this style of earrings. The gold sparkle on the Coopers Sparkling Ale glass is so pretty and makes a lovely contrast to the plain beads.
A heck of a week…
Well, it’s been a heck of a week here, and I needed a little break from things to recover. I am reminded once again that I have two choices when it comes to dealing with tough stuff in my life: I can curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep or I can choose to be strong and believe that everything happens for a reason and try to find the silver lining. The beads in this bracelet were made from a Banrock Station wine bottle.
7 day challenge – Day 6
I thought I would try something a bit different with the beads today. I popped them at the bottom of the necklace, and added some lovely green recycled glass beads around them. I love how the purple beads sit at the bottom of a necklace, just makes it a little bit more interesting. I would probably add more beads to this necklace at some stage. I think it needs a bit more purple mixed in and around the green beads.
7 day challenge – day 3
Today I had some green wine bottle beads in my collection, so I thought I would see how the purple wine bottle beads looked with them in between….I quite liked how this turned out!
7 day challenge – Day 1
This morning I came across these beads in my collection. I remember making them a long time ago (they are made from a wine bottle), and I had tried to make something with them at some stage, but it hadn’t worked out, so they were in a bag, just waiting to be found!
I kind of felt a bit sorry for them, because they are quite pretty beads. So I set myself a challenge to make something with them for the next 7 days. Making things a bit different each day, but using them every day for the next 7 days!! I have no idea if I can do this. I came up with about 3 ideas really quickly…not sure what will happen after that.
