I have always loved beads! Something about the different shapes and colours draw me to them. I love to create different designs based on what's around me at the time - beads collected over time, beads upcycled from other necklaces, bought beads and beads I make myself. I particularly enjoy creating fun, bright, everyday, pops of colour that will add interest to your outfit, make you smile and brighten others days.

I have dabbled with wooden beads, shell beads, upcycling beads found in secondhand shops, crystal beads, glass beads, silicone beads, handpainting my own wooden beads and most recently making my own components using polymer clay. I have been creating beaded jewellery since I was in high school and had a break whilst overseas having left my collection back home in Australia. After having my first child there, I started up my hobby once again. When my third child arrived and started grabbing my necklaces to chew on, I started sourcing silicone beads to make necklaces that suited the colours and styles I liked. Now three kids later, and a huge bead collection, I rediscovered that in the little (read: hardly any!) time I had to myself, that beading makes me happy! I also love creating things that others love to wear and that gives me a sense of achievement and so my Etsy store was opened in 2018.

I think I will forever be hooked on all types of beads and colour, so don't be surprised to find that my styles and materials change over time!
