I am exhibiting and selling my work at the Womans Lifestyle Expo in Wellington on the 25th and 26th of August. I have also been busy creating a piece for the Mazda Artworks Luminous Exhibition coming up in Auckand. I am really pleased with this piece...... a necklace and earring set called "Red Flax Flowers". Next on the list of things I am preparing for is an exhibition called "For Gods Sake" in Auckland using the cross symbol as inspiration. Doesn't look as if my New Years resolution was that successful!

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all!
As have been very busy, I haven't been updating as much as I would like. That will be one of my New Year resolutions...................
I have some lovely jewellery pieces at the Peter Raos Gallery in Devonport, Auckland. If you are in that area do go and have a look. Peter's glass work is internationally recognised.
I also have a lots of beads and pendants at the Flame Daisy Glass Studio in Nelson, they keep a good stock of my work year round. Anthony and Berry's work is very different to most hot glass in NZ so worth a look there as well if you are in the area. You can often see the glass being blown too!

Look for June's issue of New Zealand Gardener Magazine as there is a lovely article about me and my glass beadmaking in there.
