It starts with an idea…what if…then a prototype…maybe like this…then a few more tries…different beads…maybe this way…the joys of the design process…

Clear tonic water bottle earrings
If you like a simple, neutral pair of earrings then…these earrings using beads made from a tonic water bottle may be for you!
Sparkly wine bottle earrings
I have had lots of fun combining more than one bead to make earrings this week. I still have a few days to go, but today’s pair of earrings is super sparkly!
Classic timeless earrings
I love the contrasting shape and colour in these Gin and Tonic earrings.
The top bead is from a Fever-Tree tonic bottle, decorated with smashed up glass. The bottom bead is from a Hendricks Gin bottle. Love the shape of this bead, and together it become a classic timeless pair of earrings that I think could be worn for a very long time.
Sparkly Hendricks Gin Earrings
Hidden inside yesterday’s post is a pair of earrings that I made with two different beads. I don’t often put two beads together, and yet every time I do I wonder “why don’t I do this more often?”
This week my challenge is to make earrings with two beads! I’m actually looking forward to seeing what I come up with, hope you are too.
Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings
Today I am sharing a slightly new style of Bombay Sapphire Gin earrings.
Change one thing…
I’m slightly obsessed with the idea of changing one thing in a design to create a completely new thing! It kind of started with these bracelets (bracelet 1, bracelet 2, bracelet 3, bracelet 4).
And today I have done it again with two pairs of earrings. I have used the same beads, and the same hand-formed/textured rings, but by changing the position of the beads I have created two very different pairs of earrings.
I’m definitely going to be trying more ideas like this, it’s so much fun, and the results are super cool.
The sweetest hoops
I know, I’m a sucker for lovely hoop earrings, and I think I have found a new hoop to add to the collection. It’s simple, elegant and classic. I love the way the purple beads drop from the hoop. These beads were made from an old purple glass, and then acid etched to take the shine off the beads.
P.S. please forgive the less than amazing photograph, it was almost dark when I finished working on these earrings! Tomorrow I will do better.
“Be-Gin Again”
I’m getting all sorts of gin and tonic jewellery ready for my exhibition at Local Images in Penola, opening Friday at 5.00pm.
Gin AND Tonic earrings
Really in the middle of making lots of jewellery for the exhibition at Penola. I thought these earrings were quite lovely.
The pair on the left are made from a Hendricks Gin bottle, and the pair on the right are made from a Fever-Tree tonic bottle.
