Well it's been a fair while since my last blog... 

I always seem to start my blog posts that way!! sorry... 

...so I've been incredibly busy with creating new work, donating new work, sending off applications for various exhibitions and competitions along with joining instagram... now there goes a fair chunk of time!!! haha 

If you're also on instagram then check out my page;

because it's quick and easy it's where most of my recent photographs of work can be found ...

This is a pendant I whipped up the other day for Lord Coconut's upcoming 

group exhibition 

"Indelible - Inspired by Tattoo Art" 

which shows from 23rd May – 8th Jun 2013

I'm planning to play around with this design and make a few different textured versions in the future... but first I have to really concentrate on creating my "Wishing you had a graffiti decipher app?" piece for the Graduate Metal '13 Exhibition The due date is looming... eeek!!!

I also recently sent a collection of work down to The Goldsmiths Gallery for the "Spaced Out" exhibition that's currently showing.

 

... And I've donated work to the NMIT Jewellery Auction which is on this Wednesday 8th May!!!! Sorry for the late notice...

A couple of months back I created a new range and sent some of my Chaotic Construction works off to Redox Jewellery Studio

I also donated a piece to the Australasian Association Fashion Show to give away as well as lent them some of my work to use as part of the runway show on the night...

So... that's just half of what I've been up to lately... as you can see, there's not much time for blog posts and the next few months ahead look to be getting busier!!! So it might be a while before you hear from me again.

Wish me luck!

Exciting News!!! This piece has been selected to travel to QLD in July to be part of the "Graduate Metal 13" exhibition! 

This coincides with the JMGA Conference Participation and Exchange 2013. For a list of all the successful applicants take a look at their blog.

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?

It's been a week since the launch of my graduate exhibition 'Kaleidoscope' and I've since recovered from the hangover and started to sort out my life again after pouring ALL my energy into this exhibition.... and in the process I've just realised that my blog hasn't had a post in a very long time... so here is a collection of images from the show which is still on display until this Sunday the 25th November at the Northcote Town Hall. Check it out!
