Recently I was swept up into the Art Jewellery Challenge on facebook. Talk about art jewellery going viral!!

Lacerta Constellation
Posted January 26, 2015
There are a lot of constellations up there so it's always nice when someone orders one I haven't made yet.
Recently I was commissioned to make Lacerta.
When a necklace doesn't want to be a necklace...
Posted December 1, 2014
Recently I had a vision. A re-working of a previous necklace design - changing what I thought was a small detail to create an interesting variation. It's funny how we think we're in charge of things.

This week I'm in Melbourne being inspired by Kaori Juzu's stunning work in the Mari Funaki Award for Contemporary Jewellery exhibition being held at Gallery Funaki. Her use of enamel makes me want to go out a buy a kiln today!

Nothing like an exhibition opening to get your creative juices flowing!
Re-Worn
Posted August 7, 2014
Thought it was time to mix things up a little so I submitted a piece to the "Over Your Head" exhibition being held at Stanley Street Gallery in Sydney.
Just goes to show it's worth trying something different as they accepted my piece!

Production Mode
Posted April 14, 2014
I love a plan. I love seeing the big picture and then filling in all the pieces to make it happen.
Back in the day I was a production manager for a couple of New York jewellery designers. Setting up systems for getting their work out by deadline was invaluable experience. A lot of it is common sense but I thought I’d share my process with you.
Market Muffins
Posted April 5, 2014
Byron Community markets are on tomorrow and I always like to have snacks on hand. Tomorrow’s featured snack is Plum and Cinnamon Muffins – Yum!!
Stop by and grab one – not sure how long they'll last though! Otherwise here’s the recipe. It’s from one of my favourite cookbooks, “Wholefood” by Jude Blereau.
Lone Goat Gallery
Posted March 28, 2014
In keeping with my New Year’s resolution of connections and conversations I’ve started volunteering at the Lone Goat Gallery.
The gallery was named in honour of Wategoat, the last remaining wild goat in the Cape Byron Headland Reserve.
