Tube beads are probably some of my favourite things to make using polymer clay…well I actually have many favourites but I do love making tubes. They are just so versatile (hmm I think I’ve either done a blog post on their versatility before or if I haven’t I really need to!!). I had an idea…
Who doesn’t love rummaging through the recycled jewellery at second hand stores and garage sales looking for those special treasures to upcycle?

Also a huge thanks to Anthea for doing so much and for driving me around. …
After such a long build up to the Brisbane workshops, they were done and dusted before I even had time to breath – or so it seemed. It was fantastic to get to Brisbane again, for two reasons – one of course to see everyone again and play with clay, the other to catch up…
I’ve always loved Shaman type necklaces or jewelry. Anything grungy, earthy, ethnic, tribal….these are all words that sing to me when I think of jewelry.
