23.01.2022 Not much creativity happening in the Dani Art studio but I’m hustling hard in The Whimsical Bead studio. Hopefully next month I’ll be releasing some new gems but for now it’s all about pivoting @thewhimsicalbead from a primarily face to face business to an online one. Off topic, my affirmation cards from @little.aggie arrived last week and I love them (may have bought a few extra sets as gifts!). Great service too! One thing I committed to do during this pandemic was to do m...y bit to try and support small business. Since March, I’ve been purchasing a few things each month from small businesses. It’s been great to be able to spread a bit of joy in the lives of friends and family and also purchase from people I may not have otherwise. I know firsthand that financially things aren’t great for a lot of people at the moment but if you can (or if you need to purchase a gift), why not look locally and shop small? Your small purchase might just make a huge difference. @little.aggie #daniartandjewellery #thewhimsicalbead #littleaggie #hustlehard #newgemscomingsoon #handmadejewellery #madeinmelbourne #yarravalleyartist #yarravalleybusiness #womeninbusiness #ladystartups #womensupportingwomen
22.01.2022 I’ve not spent much time in my studio the last few months but I’m working overtime in The Whimsical Bead studio. Covid-19 combined with my own personal/ health issues has brought challenges that I didn’t anticipate I’d be dealing with in 2020. On the plus side, these things have forced me to reevaluate a lot both personally and business- wise. One thing I do know is that I’m so thankful for The Whimsical Bead. It has led me to many wonderful people and given me a purpose in life where I would likely not be able to work otherwise. For now, it needs my undivided attention but I’m hoping to be back in the creative studio in the not too distant future.
20.01.2022 Grotty studio clothes and hair up today (#safetyfirst....it’s been 8 months since my last hair cut and it’s a perfect length to get stuck in a dremel...no thanks!) I’ve been madly working on my new collection in between new and exciting things for @thewhimsicalbead , medical appointments and a few other secret squirrel things too. Stay tuned as I’ll share some of my new pieces with you soon. I hope you love them as much as I do . . #daniartandjewellery #comingsoon #safetyfirst #handmadejewellery #handmadeearrings #shophandmade #ladystartup #melbournemade #melbournemadejewellery #workinprogress #sterlingsilverearrings #earringlover #loveaustralianhandmade #statementearrings #giftideasforher #healesville #thewhimsicalbead
20.01.2022 These beauties were destined for a local gallery but with covid restrictions upon us indefinitely I am going to list them online later this week. Our new tutorial boxes and online store has launched over at The Whimsical Bead so I’m now looking forward to having some more time to spend creating again. I’ve got some new designs planned and I’ve got a new stockist too. Very exciting! Don’t forget, if you’d like to send some Dani Art to a loved one in isolation (or someone whose day you’d like to brighten ), you can order online and send me a message during checkout that your order is a gift I can gift wrap, send a personalised note....whatever you need
19.01.2022 The Christmas Collection is now LIVE! 2020 has been a difficult year and I want to spread some Christmas joy far and wide this year. So I’m offering 30% OFF all jewellery in the Christmas Collection until the end of 2020 or whilst stocks last. And yes this does include all the new pieces as well. As always, all jewellery pieces are created with only precious metal findings so you can be sure you’re purchasing quality that will stand the test of time. ... Don’t forget we have a reward point system and free shipping too. Enjoy! #daniartandjewellery #christmasiscoming #christmasearrings #statementearrings #handmadechristmas #supportlocalbusiness #shopsmallthischristmas #yarravalley #healesville #ladystartup #thewhimsicalbead #handmadeearrings #handmadejewellery
19.01.2022 I made myself a make shift studio in The Whimsical Bead studio yesterday. It’s been around 6 or 8 months since I’ve had the polymer clay out to just create with no pressure. Whilst I only spent a few hours with it (as it was all my body could take), it was quite therapeutic and somewhat empowering. I haven’t actually made anything except veneers which will at some point be turned into jewellery components. Small steps right?!
18.01.2022 Have you heard?? This year I’m offering all my Christmas Collection jewellery pieces (yep, even the new releases) at 30% off. Why? Well it’s been a pretty crappy year right?! So, I thought I’d share the love a little.....plus a bit of Christmas cheer is always a good thing in my opinion!
17.01.2022 The new Christmas Collection additions will be listed online later today. I am happy with how they’ve turned out and I hope you love them as much as I do. I won’t be doing an official launch. As soon as I list them they will be live and available for purchase. Keep an eye on stories as I’ll let you know when they’re online there.... There are limited pieces this year as I’ve been super busy with @thewhimsicalbead and haven’t been able to get in my studio as much as I’d like. Each piece is handcrafted with care and I’d rather have less pieces and know they are perfect. Also, stay tuned as I have something very special to announce regarding the Christmas Collection tomorrow..... (or if you jump online later tonight you might figure it out for yourself!) #daniartandjewellery #thewhimsicalbead #handmadejewellery #sterlingsilverearrings #statementearrings #14ktgoldfilledearrings #australianhandmade #shoplocal #ladystartups #christmasearrings #christmasgiftideas #earringlover #earringaddict #melbournemade #shoplocalthischristmas
17.01.2022 Anyone else feeling a bit like Indi Mae at the moment?! I’m not quite sure where the week has gone! It’s been a daze of website and admin for The Whimsical Bead, aftermath from the storm/power outages and sorting out medical/health issues and appointments. I’m feeling like I want to get back into the creative studio and I’m starting to get my mojo back ever so slightly. I’m hoping the body will cooperate as I’m really wanting get back to the polymer clay later this week. I’...m also going to be looking at some new earring designs.....any suggestions?? What’s on the agenda for you this week? Whatever it is, I hope you have a great one!
16.01.2022 Donuts anyone?? These beauties will be available very soon online. Which ones are your favourites?
16.01.2022 Sometimes when I’m feeling a bit down, all I need to do is rummage through a few of my ‘stashes’. This one is my favourite
15.01.2022 A selection of a wholesale order that went out earlier this week to a new stockist. If you’re interested in a wholesale arrangement please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I can give you the details #daniartandjewellery #handmadejewellery #statementjewellery #sterlingsilverjewellery #14ktgoldfilledjewellery #ladystartup #loveaustralianhandmade #wholesalehandmadejewellery #yarravalley #clickforvic #yarravalleyartist
14.01.2022 Hoping to get back to these beauties later in the week to sand and buff them and then create some beautiful new polymer clay earrings. What’s on your workbench this week? #daniartandjewellery #polymerclayearrings #polymerclay #polymerclayjewellery #premoclay #sculpeyclay #sculpeyclaycreations #isotherapy #isoart #yarravalleyarts
14.01.2022 Current feels.... Actually not just current but more like ongoing feels. It’s been a long while between posts. It’s hard to post happiness, rainbows and sunshine when you’re just not feeling it. Thank you to those who noticed my absence and reached out. ... It has really kept me going. My black hole is deep. But I’m trying to dig myself out. Art therapy helps so expect some new work soon. Love and hugs xx See more
13.01.2022 I am all for days like today - R U OK day - as they raise awareness of important issues like mental illness however it seems pretty obvious that most people are not ok at all at the moment, especially here in Victoria. Remember, even if struggling with mental health issues is a new thing for you during covid times, that doesn’t make your feelings any less valid than someone who has been dealing with mental health issues for years - just different. And that’s ok. I am so ple...ased to see that this year on R U Ok day, the focus has been on what to say or do after you ask this question. Many people want to help, want to ask the question but lack the knowledge of how to do this. I’ve been on the receiving end of this and it can break you, especially after it’s taken months to mustering up the courage to reach out. I have struggled with mental illness since my teens in some way. I understand. It’s one of the main reasons I started creating. Art therapy is a wonderful thing. My inbox is always open. Reach out if you need to. Sometimes all we need is someone is listen....not just listen. To actually hear us. There’s also organisations that can help @beyondblue @ruokday @lifeline @headspace are just a few. Remember, it’s important to not just post about R U OK day, we need to action this too. And we need to start these conversations every day - not just on this day. Let’s start the conversation....and keep it going.
07.01.2022 So excited to show you what I’ve been working on . It’s been about 6 months I think since I was in the studio and even though it was only a few hours, it was SO good to be back in there. Two more designs being added to the current Christmas collection very soon.... Tell me what you’d prefer....hoops, hooks or studs? Sterling silver or 14kt goldfill? Im also thinking about coasters......?? See more
06.01.2022 You can’t find rainbows without first weathering the rain ...... (And there always sunshine and smiles when there is a golden retriever around )
05.01.2022 Another throwback, another of my favourite pieces. This one is in my permanent collection. ‘Seafoam’ is a polymer clay cuff featuring my favourite polymer technique, mokume gane. It’s been far too long since I’ve been in the studio and I’m looking forward to getting back there as soon as I can. ... Would you be interested in seeing more polymer clay mokume gane pieces in store? See more
04.01.2022 Tonight I’m launching the Donut and Pebble collections as well as restocking a huge range of studs. Most of the Colour Pop range is also sale as I won’t be restocking them. Grab a bargain whilst you can (just look in the Colour Pop Collection category). All the new pieces will be online tonight - Sunday 28th June at 7.00pm AEST. ... Don’t forget we have free shipping and Afterpay is available. See more
03.01.2022 What a week it’s been! Stage 4 restrictions here in Victoria are being rolled out and like every other Melbournian - especially those in business - I’m feeling all the feels. Juggling personal crisis, chronic illness and everyday life with what COVID has brought, isn’t easy but I am taking each day at a time and I’m for the people who have been checking in and sending messages of support. I really am so thankful. I haven’t been on socials as often as I’d like as I’ve been sup...er busy trying to digitalise The Whimsical Bead - getting stock online and trying to offer some kind of workshop experience for those at home. Crazy busy! Whilst I haven’t been creating much jewellery and artwork lately, I’ve had a super productive last few months and so the website is stocked with lots of beautiful pieces ready to be shipped. I can also send directly to the recipient if you are wanting to send a gift during these difficult times. Just let me know during checkout or shoot me a message and we can organise something special for your loved one. To those in Melbourne. I feel you. I’m with you. We will get through this. Do the right thing. Stay safe. Reach out if you are struggling. Please try to support small business where you can. If we don’t, they might just not be there on the other side. Thank you for your support. Sending lots of love xx
02.01.2022 Safety first! Christmas Collection additions coming soon #daniartandjewellery #handmadeearrings #safetyfirst #studiotime #earringaddict #comingsoon #christmasearrings #statementearrings #sterlingsilverearrings #shopsmallthischristmas
02.01.2022 Working in The Whimsical Bead studio today and reminiscing about the days where I used to spend hours upon hours in my creative studio with my polymer clay. It’s been a long time between sessions and I miss it. I can’t clay as much as I used to because of my health issues but at the moment it’s also due to time. Pivoting The Whimsical Bead in COVID times needs to be top priority. This is one of most favourite pieces to date - ‘Odyssey’. All hollow polymer clay beads plus a ha...ndmade polymer toggle clasp. Are you spending more or less time creating due to COVID?
01.01.2022 Studs & dangles & hoops, oh my!
