Just recently I started my application for Qantas Spirit Of Youth Awards which supports emerging designers. As a jeweller I'm in the Fashion category. Check out My SOYA Profile it has pictures of all my graduate work and a little blurb about my plans for the future.


This piece is titled "Stuck on the Train Again" and yes, you would be correct in assuming the idea came to me whilst stuck on a train. 
They often just stop and sit between stations, it tends to happen a lot on the trip from South Kensington to Flinders street... only three stations away but on occasion has taken me 45 minutes!!!! Rather than get frustrated I try and use the time to take inspiration from my surroundings. This design was born as I stared off into the distance of a North Melbourne laneway and saw the all too familiar sight of shoes thrown over the powerlines.
More designs to come in this range... stay tuned!

Happy New Year!
As per usual I've been slack with my blog... So here's something to get it started again in 2013...

"Wishing you had a graffiti decipher app?" 
This Urban Art inspired piece celebrates the colour and beauty of the art presented to us throughout our urban landscape.
Thank you Melbourne street artists for the inspiration!
Now... can you decipher what it says?
