... chrissy cheer

I wanted to share with you some beads I made this earlier this week. I've been thinking of a way to create classy jewellery without it looking tacky or in traditional red and green colours. So I have decided that my theme this festive season will be "classy bling" ~ beads, buttons and jewellery made with gorgeous transparent glass and surface decorated with gold themed lustres and reactive glasses. Pics of finished pieces coming soon!

In today's post was an invitation to the Craft + Design = Art exhibition being held at Dogwood Crossing @ Miles Rocks. I am very excited to share with you that my work was selected to be part of this show earlier this year. I have been planning and preparing for this show for quite some time now and I am putting the finishing touches on the pieces, packing them carefully and getting ready to post them off to the gallery.
I won't be able to attend the opening soiree but hope to make my way out to Miles over the summer break. If you're travelling through the Western Downs region of Queensland (Australia) make sure you drop into the gallery and have look! You'll have plenty of time - show runs till Jan 5, 2010. Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

Something you could wear all year really, Thats usually what I dont like about " themed " jewelery, but this is so tasteful.

Thanks Bubba! I just wanted to create something with a bit of "bling' that wasn't crass or over the top. Almost finished the pieces - will post soon.
