23.01.2022 Sometimes phone convo doodles with found objects are the right amount of creativity for one day...talking self care, self kindness and taking breaks with @flatnoir #selfcare #selflove #selfacceptance #dontneedtodoanythingtoday #selfkindness #restdaysmatter

20.01.2022 That last one I posted found it's home already, so here's another! This labradorite & raw clear quartz point creation can be worn as a choker necklace or headpiece, made from linen & fully adjustable so it'll be a perfect fit however you choose to wear it #labradorite #clearquartz #rawquartz #labradoritenecklace #labradoritechoker #rawquartzchoker #gemstoneheadpiece #rawquartzheadpiece #labradoriteheadpiece #earthyjewellery #earthystyle #ecojewellery #ecostyle #buyslowmade #buyfromartists #linenjewellery #naturaljewellery #naturejewellery
20.01.2022 Gotta say, I’m pretty excited to be back at the Moruya Markets this weekend after 3months of no markets at all!! All the social distancing protocols’ll be in place, please pop in and say hi if you’re around...my hair’ll be shorter & my clothes a lot woollier but I dare say my smile will be at least this big! @moruya_country_markets #moruyamarkets #moruya #southcoastnsw #southcoastmarkets #handcraftedjewellery #gemstonejewellery #macramejewellery #naturaljewellery
19.01.2022 Here’s a little repair I did for this clear quartz piece that broke in two for no apparent reason...a very wise & connected with crystals soul once told me (funnily enough right after one of my favourite apatite spheres broke...perfect synchronicity ) that our gemstones can break because they’ve absorbed intense energy on behalf of us...meaning that if it hadn’t taken that break we would’ve received that energy in some other (perhaps not very pleasant) way. He explained with... so much love how when this happens we must honour and care for this crystal doubly much in gratitude for the service it’s done for us. I will never forget that conversation with that beautiful soul and so when Kirsty told me what happened with her new necklace it sprung straight to mind. With this little brace, this healing stone is ready to be cleansed, thanked, honoured and returned to its wearer to enjoy their deep connection once more #healingcrystals #healing #gratitude #crystalconnections #gemstonejewellery #clearquartz See more
19.01.2022 Sometimes I paint. I used to paint a lot, now I do very rarely. My beautiful friend @flatnoir purchased this piece from me a few years ago. It was one that I thought was a failure at the time, but now, when she sent it to me today I’m really proud to say I did it. Just goes to show that sometimes the things we think are not my best work are exactly what somebody else thinks is fabulous...I’m pleased that now I can see that too
18.01.2022 This is not ok. I’ve been silent out of not at all knowing what to say, but I’m listening. Everywhere in the world, black lives matter and we all have a lot of work to do to recreate a loving, safe and inclusive system for all #blackouttuesday
18.01.2022 Sending you all a bit of love & light from my sunny little riverside spot at @moruya_country_markets this morning #moruyamarkets #amethyst #rosequartz #clearquartz #aquamarine #amazonite #tangerinequartz #gemstones #healinggemstones #gemstonejewellery

12.01.2022 How’s this for a beautiful full moon spring morning to celebrate the return of @moruya_country_markets !? I’ll be here on the riverside till lunchtime today #moruyamarkets
11.01.2022 1. I grew up believing I could achieve anything I set my mind to, not that I was statistically more likely to end up in prison than university 2. I feel like people judge my character by my behaviour, sometimes by the way I dress or wear my hair but not by my skin colour 3. I feel safe going about my everyday life, I do not have any fear of the police when I know I am not breaking the law... These are just 3 examples of so many... feel free to add some more! Theyre things I’ve taken for granted almost everyday of my life, things I thought were normal and that I naively believed were the rights of every person. They most certainly should be and they will be, but first we need a new system. One that does not encourage, condone or ignore when the rights of some are met, while those of others are forgotten. We have the power to recreate the system, now!#downwiththesystem #enoughisenough #bringontheageoflove #whiteprivilegeisreal #whiteprivilege #istandwithyou
11.01.2022 No need to look at your watch, the time is now! In just a couple of mins I'll be showing lots of goodies in my 'stories' (click on my profile pic to see them) that are available now at specially discounted prices #jewellerysale #instagramstorysale #handcraftedjewellery #gemstonejewellery #naturejewellery #earthyjewellery

It'll include the things I've been showing over the last couple of days + quite a few others including necklaces bracelets and earrings ranging from $30-140 AUD. All prices will be reduced from their normal prices so tune in later and see if any call to you #instagramjewellerysale #storymarketplace #handcraftedjewellery #gemstonejewellery #earthyjewellery #ecojewellery #solophotoshoot #artistsofinstagram #macramejewellery #jewellerysale

10.01.2022 I’ve been feeling horrified at the actions perpetrated by our system, here in Australia and abroad. I feel proud and hopeful for all the masses standing up to this injustice. I want to stand with them. I’ve been feeling simultaneously guilty for not being more vocal or taking more deliberate action, and then shameful for not knowing or being able to feel the best way to do something helpful and actually meaningful, not just some token gesture to make me feel like I’ve done my... bit. And then I also feel stupid for thinking that there is something I can say or possibly even do that can have any meaningful impact at all. Who am I to have any wisdom on this subject I know nothing about? I have always felt like I consciously avoid thoughts of racial bias and subscribe to the fact that we are all one. I thought I was not part of the problem. I am not racist but that’s not enough. If I really want to help create a loving and inclusive world I must educate myself and really work to dismantle all these programmed ‘norms’ inside my psyche, recognise all these things I take for granted and be willing to risk my unearned benefits to help fight for another’s because there’s plenty to go around in this new system we’re creating. I literally started by googling how to understand white privilege and I learnt a lot. That’s my first step. It’s that small, that simple. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a complete newby to this. Not because I didn’t care, I thought I cared enough. Because I have been so very sheltered from this for my entire life that I had this illusion that I was doing well in an area that I’d actually never even dipped my toe into. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve realised I know absolutely nothing. By wrapping myself up and enjoying my socially ingrained privileges I close myself off to the troubles others are facing. I have been unintentionally turning a blind eye. Obviously I have a long way to go but now’s the time to change the world, let’s make sure we’re fighting for the side we think we’re on!

08.01.2022 I’m making a mask...Ill show you when it’s done...I’ll be back at Moruya Markets next weekend for the first time since early March. One thing I’ve loved about this break in normal routine has been the time I’ve dedicated to creating art for art’s sake...sometimes wearable, sometimes not, sometimes functional, sometimes not at all. But always nourishing my creative self in some different way. It’s also been great for cementing good habits re: work/life balance. Saturday & Sunday (aside from markets) will be strictly no work related creating days, giving me the freedom to keep this creative freedom. What will you be holding onto/changing as a result of these recent times? #mask #maskmaking #macrame #artforartsake #creativefreedom #newhabits #worklifebalance #creativity
08.01.2022 Today’s Story Sale styling features some of my fave local bringers of fair trade threads...my favourite mustard top from @surya_thelabel & this most softest, cosiest Tibetan wool shawl, a birthday gift from my Parn, from @createfairtrade in Batemans Bay ...don’t forget to tune in to my ‘stories’ at 3pm AEST Today for my one of a kind wearable pouch collection unveiling #fairtrade #fairtradeclothing #shopfairtrade #todaysstylingbroughttoyouby #wearablepouches #medicinebag #pendulumpouch #crystalpouch #treasurebag #treasurepouch #wearablepouch

Perfect for sitting on your desk, your dash or on your bedside table to keep those energies clear! + at just $10ea they make pretty nice little gift ideas too.
