Sure! Gerard says “no worries” xox

Another compliment!  Inspired by my jewellery!?  Just wished he looked happy with his new earrings!  Yes, agree, they WOULD be a bit heavy — but the design is flawless.  Travel Jewellery is fun!

Corflute — a good day begins with a new bead material…. (a REALLY good day!)

Thanks to my Tai Chi mate, Graham — for taking up the challenge to become a beadmaker. The deep blue wooden beads are from a factory in the Czech Republic that Jean & I visited in 2016.

Mistaken Identity

What is a marble?  Found with but not of? Unfortunately this marble (with one hole in the top) fell into the hands of a bead/jewellery maker.  Or enjoying a new life, makeover?

This faceted Ethiopian opal traveled to me via Grant. After that, it only travelled to Federation Square, Melbourne CBD for its photo, thus beginning it’s journey with me.
