After weeks and weeks of fun days in the studio exploring the wonders of EFColor Low Temp Enamels I decided it would be a great idea to create a tutorial. Combining EFColor and polymer clay seems like a match made in heaven, and I have to tell you, it is. EFColor powders stick really well…
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…

The National Contemporary Art Jewellery Awards are part of the Objects Art Forum being held in August this year. I’m heading over to Griffith to…
Who doesn’t love rummaging through the recycled jewellery at second hand stores and garage sales looking for those special treasures to upcycle? I just love it and get so excited when I find something that’s pretty unique. I’ve always collected bits and pieces and used recycled beads and various other parts in finished jewellery pieces…
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. I love this style, probably more so than any other but seldom create anything using this theme – well kind of, but very understated. I’ve always wanted to create something…
