I’ve always been an admirer of jewellery and fine detail, from bold costume jewellery to elegant silver and gold pieces. I still admire today the beautifully handcrafted jewellery in my collection, even if I no longer wear it! Some pieces I’ve deconstructed and incorporated into new jewellery designs or art works. Long before I was making jewellery I was creating artworks. I always enjoyed the embellishment phase, especially on my exotic women series - the metallic threads, the hair pieces, the large central pendants and earrings… it’s not surprising that I’ve expanded my art practice to include jewellery!
I adore working with gorgeous textiles and Japanese washi papers, the intricate designs are perfect for jewellery where they can be appreciated for their exquisite beauty. Here are a few pics from my exotic women series and some of my newest pendants. The jewellery will be available at the upcoming Kirribilli Art Design & Fashion market on Sunday 12th April – 8:30am – 3pm. I will be in the Burton St tunnel… fingers crossed it will be a beautiful sunny day! The market can be easily reached by catching a train to Milsons Pt station or a ferry from Circular Quay.

I've had a fabulous few weeks creating jewellery from a new collection of exquisite Japanese washi papers. Here's just a few of the elegant lightweight earrings that will be available at the Kirribilli Markets on Sunday April 12th (I will be in the Burton St tunnel stall A18). Will share more creations prior to the event... hope you can pop in and say hello💜🙏💚

Excited to receive my new order of exquisite Japanese washi papers... can't wait to start creating some jewellery with them! Some are old favourites and most are new designs... LOVE THEM ALL!

NEW on shop 'Art of Textile' - Japanese inspired jewellery and more. Exquisite textiles, Japanese washi papers and upcycled beads feature in these new creations. So much inspiration with beautiful materials to create with.
The pendant necklaces with matching cord shown here are 2 designs in one pendant... love versatility😀

Adore this stunning bougainvillea colour scheme…. Taken at Cremorne Pt from memory 🌸💕🌸

SOLD! What a fabulous day at Artisans at the Coal Loader yesterday! There were a surprising number of visitors given the weather conditions. The Mess Hall where I was located was brimming with creative supportive like minded artisans. There were gorgeous creations by .story.ceramics .handcrafted and others (unfortunately I don't have their social media details). I couldn't help but purchase a stunning black handbag with Japanese black/beige textile detail from Anne of Lakeshine Design, her creations are always superb quality... thank you Anne, I love it!!!
I was thrilled to see my latest creations were well received, and artworks that are harder to sell at these types of markets, I sold 5 of... YAY.
This was one of my most successful artisan markets outside of the Xmas markets😀.
Sending out a huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful visitors who dropped by, especially to friends and repeat clients that continue to be supportive - that's all I need to be inspired to create💚✨💚
Here are just a few of the items that have found new homes.

All setup at Artisans at the Coal Loader in Waverton
