Clay Bell

This clay bell was made in an art group I facilitated on the theme of using the sound of the bell to meditate on and to focus the mind on this moment. The clay disc at the top of the bell reads 'Breathe' and the letter beads spell out 'Today'. I carved a wave design into the bell and used an old earring for the chime, a peacock feather made from metal.

Garden Box Diorama from Berlin


I bought this beautiful little garden diorama at a Berlin fleamarket 
as an A4 flat pack, which I then had to construct.
 The box dimensions are 6cm square.
A tiny reminder of the beauty of the gardens in Berlin.

Resin workshop

I did a 2 hour resin workshop in Sydney and came out with these pieces of jewellery. It was an enjoyable and surprisingly easy experience.
