10/8/2010 0 Comments FIRST!Well, I have finally found the time to start my blog! I am into my third year of making jewellery now, and I am always finding new ideas.
But how did I get to this stage? In November 2007, I was browsing online and found some lovely, calla lily-shaped beads. I decided to make some earrings out of them, but that meant I woud have to get some more beads. And findings. And then I had to use up the leftover beads... and so it grew, until I started selling them at markets. For some time, I spent small amounts on stalls and beads, not really getting anywhere, then I discovered my true calling - beautiful glass. I have been making items with glass and Lucite for a couple of years now. I started with pendants, then earrings, brooches, rings, cufflinks... and I have been putting my own artwork into them as well. I started out making digital collages, made of collections of images and gradually built up by hand until I had an image I liked. I have also drawn the Roller Derby and Aviator series. Gradually, I have found the best glass shapes for my work, and the ideal settings for them, although I never stop looking!
