I live in Christchurch but am originally from Greymouth on the West Coast. I became interested in making jewelry after watching The Great Pottery Throwdown over the Christmas holidays; then became obsessed with making clay beads with polymer clay. Following that, came my obsession with Czech glass beads. I found that combining colours and design was something that I could combine my mosaic artist background to create the kinds of pieces I would like to wear.

I buy my clay &seed beads from Christchurch proprietors and most findings from New Zealand traders. I do purchase crystals and Czech glass beads from offshore to make my pieces cost effective.

I attempt to make each piece unique using different combinations of beads; this depends on what is in my stash and what colours I feel like using when making my clay beads.

I hope you enjoy browsing.
