Greetings!

Hullo friends, Sarah here. There are a few things I quite like at the moment:

+ Glass

+ Nature

+ Making things

I'm currently exploring all sorts of intriguing colours and textures in glass, through a process named flameworking. I'm working on a range of wearable pieces including rings, pendants and earrings..

I'm also enjoying creating through the process of glassblowing. I rather delight in searching for materials with which to work, and at the moment I'm looking at using glass as a vehicle to capture the unique beauty of things I've stumbled upon in nature. Looking forward to seeing where this takes me..

Hello, deirdre here. . .  I am very  pleased to announce that the brown paper collective has been accepted into 'THIS IS NOT A DESIGN MARKET' for the 19th of July! (more details to follow) I will also be at the craft hatch market with Jasmine this Saturday at the City Library, 11-4, you can see some of the other artists here: http://www.craftvic.asn.au/craftlife/new.html

So I have been busy busy trying to get lots of new things made, above is one of my necklaces, Jazzy helped me to choose the colour scheme at the last market and I sold it off my body the next day at work! 

wire me in... regina middleton

Hello there. I'm Regina, I love found objects and alternative materials. I am often found scrounging through skip bins, or more romantically, gathering ephemera at the beach. Sustainability is a chief concern of mine, and so is the reusing of discarded materials.

'Wire Me In' is the latest little collection I have been working on. Born from a fascination with the intriguing lines formed by electrical cables and some pretty coloured wires found in a skip bin, I have become a little obsessed with wrapping and weaving the two together, transforming communication cables into beautiful and intriguing pieces of adornment.

These lovely little pieces currently come in the form of pendants, earrings and bracelets...

It's brown paper world

Well, hello world! By way of introduction, here's an image of some of my latest works. The boxes are two cigarette tins and two powder compacts. Half of the group are brooches and the others pendants, the two front cases having brooch backs and the two centre radial patterns (for want of a better term) having pins. They're all recycled metal (including the silver) and steel cable, with a bit of steel and a blob of solder here and there.
