Everything old can be made new again.

My latest passion is making one-of-a-kind hanging ornaments. I believe in recycling and upcycling as much as possible. Much of the material I use is sourced in and around my local community in country Western Australia.  Here are some that are available at my etsy store: Click on each picture to take you to the listing.

Pretty Pink

I love working with beads. Recently listed at my etsy store is this pretty pink beaded bookmark. Add some bling to your books! It would also make a lovely gift for teachers, students, friends, mothers, booklovers, readers and writers etc. The novel I wrote is also below.

Grapevines and Gum Trees Book can be purchased as a paperback or an ebook from etsy  amazon and smashwords

This novel was published in 2012 well before the 2016 fire which razed the historic town of Yarloop where my novel is set. Coincidentally or not, my novel also has fire themes. 

Purple Haze

I may have already mentioned that purple is my favourite colour. 

Purple Striped Agate Necklace

A gorgeous Purple Agate sword point gemstone in a patterned silver tone cap setting with small opalite and fluorite cabochons. Perfect as a statement necklace or as a gift for someone special. 

Purple has been used to symbolize magic and mystery, as well as royalty. Being the combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colours, purple is believed to be the ideal colour. Most children love the colour purple. Purple is the colour most favoured by artists. Thursday's colour is purple.

Agate:Protection, Strength, Harmony.

Agate is a stone of strength.
Agate enhances creativity and strengthens the intellect. Beneficial stone for both students and artists. It is also known as a good luck stone. As a stone of harmony, one of the things agate does is balance yin/yang energy.
Agate is a very protective stone.

Opalite is a subtle yet highly energetic stone. It is the ideal stone for meditation. Opalite improves communication on all levels, especially the spiritual. It removes energy blockages of the chakras and meridians. Emotionally, Opalite helps by assisting during transitions of all kinds. It engenders persistence and gives us strength in verbalising our hidden feelings.

Fluorite promotes spiritual and psychic wholeness and development, protection, and brings peace.
It protects psychically as a psychic shield, protect from chaotic vibrations by evening them out in an orderly manner.
It is also said to enhance the strength of other stones.

Fluorite is a stone of mental order and clarity. It is used to enhance mental clarity and reduce instability and disorder. This brings a wiser, more balanced view of life and improves decision making,. These traits enable one to manifest ideas and bring plans to fruition.

Fluorite is a great stone to calm and relieve anxiety, tension, and stress by detoxifying the emotional body.

Fluorite is related primarily to the Heart and Higher Heart (Thymus) chakras. It also relates to Third Eye chakra balance. The Archangel related to this stone is Chamuel. It is also related to the Fire Element and the Wind Element.

Recycle!

I've recently been accepted to sell my items at a local business. The business promotes organic, recycling, minimal waste etc so I was keen to keep to the ethos of the store. The items I craft are made using as many recycled beads and jewellery items as possible. I also went a little further and picked up these two sparkly vases (not glass) from a local Op shop and turned them into product stands by adding removable hooks. I also added a natural river stone in each one so they don't tip over.  I think they look great. 

We can still have pretty things if we use recycled :)

Quirky Style

I've been having fun creating some quirky items. This is a small moon sun-catcher ornament I made from the rattan moon shape on the left in the first picture.

I used recycled wool, recycled beads + recycled fabric and woollen flowers. Some beads were sewn on, others were glued on. The butterfly embellishment was from my ever increasing stash. I had fun and learned a few things along the way, mainly, what I'd do differently next time :)

 Some close ups of details.
