2008 Winter Collection 4
If you love retro, this is for you!
I have been wanting to incorporate the phrase " All is well " in my jewelry design for a long time now. ( sounds like very bad grammar, but you know what i mean!). The design just came to me when i got this beautiful, rich, chocolate brown Ebnoy wood.
It's simple, clean and modern, very Retro, just how i like it!
The Phrase " All is well " is from St Julian of Norwich, a thirteenth Century nun who had an extra-ordinary experience at the age of 30.
In one of her many visions at that time she beheld a tiny mustard seed in the palm of her hand and realized that if God ceased loving that seed for even an instant it would spontaneously disintegrate, and so does the universe.
It is about reassurance.
After all, it is love that bind us all together and in the end........
All is well!

2008 Winter Collection 2
These two new additions to my 2008 Winter Collection is a continuation of my Song Line theme. It was inspired by a trip to the centre of Australia a few years back.
I like the organic feel of the hand cut lines and the dark chocolate Ebony wood give the pendant a nice modern look!
The SongLine Ebony wooden Pendant looks good on both man and woman.
The SongLine Cufflinks and the SongLine Ebony Pendant are now available on my online shop.
To be continue.......

2008 Winter Collection 1
I definitely not trying to confuse people, but it is winter here down under and i have my eyes on this beautiful wooden beads for a while now.
The temperature start dropping outside and apart from feeling like hugging a cup of hot chocolate, i remembered the delicious brown, chocolate kind of colour Ebony beads and rush in to get some supply. Inspired by this new wooden beads, i incorporated them with some of my designs from other pieces........
There you go, my first winter collection!
They are now available in Beehive Gallery (443 King street, New Town, Sydney), and Etsy.
Spiral Stud Earrings
Spiral Heart Ebony pendant

Random Act of Kindness
“A time to be open, to act upon thoughts of hope and goodness”.
It was almost a year ago since I made my first custom cufflinks for a friend. I was waiting for the right moment (or the right mood so to speak) to design my very first pair of cufflink.
And here it is....
The "Random Act of Kindness"
This pair of Cufflinks has been stamped with letters spelling the phrase “Random act of kindness” The letters are arranged randomly and has been oxidized to give it an antique look!
I am very happy with the design idea and how it turns out.
I am planning to explore the random text concept further down the track.....
I promise i will not let you wait for another year for the next new pair of cufflinks!

I made it......
....into Trunkt. I am sure some of you already know what Trunkt is! For those that you don't know, well, it is the "Buyer's Guide to Independent Art and Design" and "a Collective of Amazing Artists"
There are only 3 images in my my Portfolio at the moment. In the coming week or so i will upgrade my account and start to adding more images to my Portfolio! I am really happy.....
Now, we are talking, for me there is nothing more happier than just simply sitting in front of my work bench and made something out of nothing! By "nothing", what i mean is i did not know before hand what i was going to made and it somehow just happened...... Like the Surf Ring in this case!
The Surf Ring really made me happy!
I like everything about it, the colour, the shape, and the movement......

New Additions
I am in love with my new hand-forged additions. The fan shape earrings are modern and organic. I especially like the slightly concave shape and the leave shape ear hooks. They really compliment each other! I have two versions~ one is small with mirror finished and the bigger one with matt finished. The small fan shape earrings is available now in my etsy shops.
I also made a matching necklace with turquoise on a snake chain. Its simple and looks fantastic.....
The Fan shape Turquoise necklace is also available from my shop now!
Another new addition to my etsy shop is this gorgeous pair of butterfly earrings. Its light weight and looks cool....
I had a fantastic market last weekend thanks to all the new and old customers ( your support has been much appreciated!).
Here is one of my customers visiting my stall and wearing one of my piece ( one of a kind!) she bought a while back. Does'nt it look gorgeous on her?!
I will be in the Kirribilli market again this month ( Saturday, 29 March) . My stall will be in the tunnel and if you missed out last Sunday, come and check me out.....
