I love creating large, mixed media art jewellery necklaces! Incorporating found objects, broken jewellery, fabric, feathers, beads is incredibly exciting (yep, if you know my work you know I love this stuff). In 2021 the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery hosted the Midwest Art Prize. This is a pretty big deal for our area and often…
Polymer Clay Mixed Media Earrings
You know I’ve often said over the years, “I don’t normally make earrings”! I was completely wrong!! I have made heaps of earrings over the years and I have to say my favourites would have to be the ones incorporating mixed media. Mixed media to me conjured all sorts of luscious images – I think…
Inspiration: Polymer Clay “Frida” Inspired Earrings
I just wanted to share some of the “Frida” inspired earrings I’ve been making recently – which have been sooooo addictive by the way.

Polymer Clay Work – Bohemian Inspired Polymer Clay Leaves and Earrings
I watched a movie just recently called Plastic Ocean and I have to say, it had a huge impact on me. I won’t go into all the details but let’s just say my attitude towards what I create and how much I create has changed incredibly. Rather than create a pile of things which will…
Inspiration – Fun With Tyvek and Other Stuff
Ahhh it’s Tuesday and I had the house to myself today – I love having the house to myself! 🙂 I had lots of fun things on my to-do list today. First was to create some sample pieces for the Las Vegas Clay Carnival in October later this year. I played around with some veneers…
