Art and Jewellery Update

I am pretty excited to show you my latest beaded necklaces and to share with you that I now have the butane gas ready to go to begin my precious metal clay journey of creativity.  I can hardly contain my excitement of where this journey is going to take me.

Here are some images of my newest beaded necklaces – I hope to be displaying my first silver clay pieces as I learn to incorporate my art into jewellery.  I aim to make unique one-off pieces, so I think it is going be quite exciting!

And here is my onyx and quartz crystal beaded necklace with figure 8 clasp.  I love this necklace as I have had the red ceramic beads for quite some time, waiting for just the right semi-precious beads to come along.  And now they have a place in the world!

At the back you can see the figure 8 clasp, seed beading work and some swarovski crystals to set it off.

 

I will be posting a blog shortly about a fabulous local Artist, Karryn Lesley whom I had the pleasure of interviewing last Wednesday evening.  I have recorded our conversation and will be creating  podcast to share with you all.  She is a magnificent artist and has just started up her own studio where she sells her artwork to people for affordable prices and they are being purchased before she has finished creating them on the easel.

So make sure you catch my next blog.  I will be cutting the audio this weekend and hope to have it live with images of Karryn’s work up here next week.  It is extremely exciting for me to share this with you.

Thanks for stopping by.
