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 recently posted a video tutorial showing how I created a veneer using scrappy stripes, embossing powder and texture. 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…
Gosh it seems so long ago now and I’m only just getting around to doing the blogpost for the Griffith workshops 2018. I must thank the Griffith Regional Art Gallery, in particular Raina Savage for organising and co-ordinating these workshops.

I was hoping to have the tutorial finished by now but I’ve been waiting…
Crab claws certainly send my heart racing. Check out some of the recent ones my eldest son brought home for me. Incorporating them into unique, art jewellery pieces is quite a passion of mine and I’ve got quite a collection of them now. These two pieces came about as part of an online art exhibition…
I’m lucky enough to be heading back to sunny Brisbane, Queensland again this year and thought I would share a few of the things I’ve been playing around with while creating samples and workshop content for these workshops.
