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…
Let me tell you a little about my polymer clay story. Let’s start at the beginning…. My polymer journey started a long time ago and I fell head over heals from the moment I touched this medium. I joined an Aussie forum and was probably the pesky “new kid on the block” asking all the…

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…

You can access the YouTube video tutorial here: Polymer Clay Veneer with Embossing Powder and Texture and this is what you’ll end up with. It occurred to me some of you may not know how to…
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…
Hi everyone, I love to collect stuff. I love to collect all sorts of bits and pieces. I have boxes and bags and crates full of it – all labelled by the way, so I know where it goes!! I’ve been given lots of treasures over the years and you know, I remember every piece…
