This week I sent away two more orders to new stores on the 'mainland' which makes me feel very excited and content with how my little arty business is progressing. We are in the middle of school hols right now, and in our tiny beach shack with my 3 rugrats it is a very colourful, chaotic and crazy but cool time. When I do grab the chance to make new necklaces I am LOVING creating new designs with differing colour schemes and patterns. That is my all time fave part of what I do creatively. I like to make each necklace unique, however I have started making some similar pieces (similar in colour, pattern, shape or design) as I have found that popularity makes it impossible to make each completely different! Here's some newies:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oryTgJ1C8YE/T9AIOaxdYuI/AAAAAAAAARA/hBy9eQl00nI/s1600/108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oryTgJ1C8YE/T9AIOaxdYuI/AAAAAAAAARA/hBy9eQl00nI/s320/108.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ko8JfcrALtQ/T9AIgna0QpI/AAAAAAAAARY/uFwBxN73cMA/s1600/118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ko8JfcrALtQ/T9AIgna0QpI/AAAAAAAAARY/uFwBxN73cMA/s320/118.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2WGO7r8sLGs/T9AImJtl6qI/AAAAAAAAARg/lGfK1byQRBs/s1600/113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2WGO7r8sLGs/T9AImJtl6qI/AAAAAAAAARg/lGfK1byQRBs/s320/113.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-buVhQmqY6xE/T9AIUlmN1sI/AAAAAAAAARI/NfYqg5NM8rc/s1600/112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-buVhQmqY6xE/T9AIUlmN1sI/AAAAAAAAARI/NfYqg5NM8rc/s320/112.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kDI4aW4-I-s/T9AIat6NkkI/AAAAAAAAARQ/DjKvNLvoZSo/s1600/114.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kDI4aW4-I-s/T9AIat6NkkI/AAAAAAAAARQ/DjKvNLvoZSo/s320/114.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IUWID0Hhbr4/T9AIrz1KxHI/AAAAAAAAARo/ddlnzDoIjAI/s1600/107.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IUWID0Hhbr4/T9AIrz1KxHI/AAAAAAAAARo/ddlnzDoIjAI/s320/107.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-62247325399992625942012-03-25T19:57:00.000-07:002012-03-25T19:57:02.323-07:00New pieces for 2012Hi there, it's been a while. Life seems to go so fast it is hard to keep up! Here are some images of my new styles created this year. Some of these have been sent to my first mainland store, which is situated in Daylesford, Vic (Im quite excited about this!) and I've had enquiries from a store in Adelaide as well as Albert Park, Vic! Hence I am pretty flat out keeping up with demand, but also completely happy to be in this dilemma. Here are the pics of my new mixed media necklaces. They are quite long and are a mixture of wooden beads, buttons and my handmade paper mache beads :<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0hdCr5OEvXo/T2_ZMeyQORI/AAAAAAAAAPw/F268Vxfc_aE/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0hdCr5OEvXo/T2_ZMeyQORI/AAAAAAAAAPw/F268Vxfc_aE/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iaqYqzwzS7k/T2_ZSAPQTzI/AAAAAAAAAP4/nsTIt-15yo0/s1600/002+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iaqYqzwzS7k/T2_ZSAPQTzI/AAAAAAAAAP4/nsTIt-15yo0/s320/002+(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fzcUcLOudM/T2_ZXkyFv1I/AAAAAAAAAQA/ul5gvYdneIA/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fzcUcLOudM/T2_ZXkyFv1I/AAAAAAAAAQA/ul5gvYdneIA/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VF-aMWPqp-Y/T2_ZdwMcjZI/AAAAAAAAAQI/pbKzgAY2EAU/s1600/003+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VF-aMWPqp-Y/T2_ZdwMcjZI/AAAAAAAAAQI/pbKzgAY2EAU/s320/003+(2).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tyfePkfk_dc/T2_ZjvNLAxI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/HXv7dVXIsDc/s1600/005+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tyfePkfk_dc/T2_ZjvNLAxI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/HXv7dVXIsDc/s320/005+(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMyywW7dOmI/T2_Zo9V-PBI/AAAAAAAAAQY/E-KA_W751xs/s1600/008+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMyywW7dOmI/T2_Zo9V-PBI/AAAAAAAAAQY/E-KA_W751xs/s320/008+(2).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But there is more:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ACz4Y1xkDnY/T2_aUVlK3GI/AAAAAAAAAQg/QiQVZpgPfBc/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ACz4Y1xkDnY/T2_aUVlK3GI/AAAAAAAAAQg/QiQVZpgPfBc/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EtrHhrZS8nA/T2_aaHN8VfI/AAAAAAAAAQo/sO113deP-3k/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EtrHhrZS8nA/T2_aaHN8VfI/AAAAAAAAAQo/sO113deP-3k/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1RnrIE2qn80/T2_agR0pueI/AAAAAAAAAQw/M9GxDW6xUoU/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1RnrIE2qn80/T2_agR0pueI/AAAAAAAAAQw/M9GxDW6xUoU/s320/008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0wbTnXgnAoU/T2_amWDDsPI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/PmWrBiAjtAw/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0wbTnXgnAoU/T2_amWDDsPI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/PmWrBiAjtAw/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The earring are paper beads threaded onto sterling silver hooks.

I absolutely LOVE this time of year and it therefore provides lots of inspiration for us creatives peeps! I will be selling some of these probably at the Maker, or if you would like one, send me a message and I will send your favourite to you. They retail at $29 and each piece is a unique item. May you have a peaceful and loving month of December xo<br />Here are some pics of my creative process:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lf4zaMKgNUg/TtQpjh--0JI/AAAAAAAAAOY/L7Tw_d15TAk/s1600/028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lf4zaMKgNUg/TtQpjh--0JI/AAAAAAAAAOY/L7Tw_d15TAk/s320/028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">paper pendants and beads ready for decorating</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WPv3rps7pQE/TtQppsXkMGI/AAAAAAAAAOg/Kq0MI9IQhKI/s1600/005+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WPv3rps7pQE/TtQppsXkMGI/AAAAAAAAAOg/Kq0MI9IQhKI/s320/005+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pendants being prettied up</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1BBDqqnkx2I/TtQpvLGEcZI/AAAAAAAAAOo/XH6xCnGiL2U/s1600/010+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1BBDqqnkx2I/TtQpvLGEcZI/AAAAAAAAAOo/XH6xCnGiL2U/s320/010+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">More.......</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1W-iXzslY/TtQp08geYfI/AAAAAAAAAOw/f_j36pNTf-o/s1600/017+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1W-iXzslY/TtQp08geYfI/AAAAAAAAAOw/f_j36pNTf-o/s320/017+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The finished product - these are my vintage style pieces: mushroom, tree & lady</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bkJkm7Y7Wdg/TtQp6SLnSOI/AAAAAAAAAO4/7aPsudcOFuw/s1600/016+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bkJkm7Y7Wdg/TtQp6SLnSOI/AAAAAAAAAO4/7aPsudcOFuw/s320/016+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Vintage hearts & a star</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2wCFcEWDPeY/TtQqAMSWXnI/AAAAAAAAAPA/uW4Vb5kJalI/s1600/018+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2wCFcEWDPeY/TtQqAMSWXnI/AAAAAAAAAPA/uW4Vb5kJalI/s320/018+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3IbQkkik6mA/TtQqFra3qpI/AAAAAAAAAPI/BZM1_8HZb9A/s1600/020+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3IbQkkik6mA/TtQqFra3qpI/AAAAAAAAAPI/BZM1_8HZb9A/s320/020+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are some Japanese inspired pieces</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8XetutuDc0/TtQqLg9w-5I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/RvBg1wuMU48/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8XetutuDc0/TtQqLg9w-5I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/RvBg1wuMU48/s320/021.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Crosses & heart</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Us_8gs0HGec/TtQqRbHpS5I/AAAAAAAAAPY/zTYbq0HNsEQ/s1600/024+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Us_8gs0HGec/TtQqRbHpS5I/AAAAAAAAAPY/zTYbq0HNsEQ/s320/024+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pastel flower Christmas!

I still love making earthy pieces but I have loved using colour more extravagantly.

I think I love them because of the pretty summery colours that are a mix between pastel and bright, but I also do believe that they rather look like bubblegum balls which makes them quite enticing.

That's it - no more Tassie stockists - 7 is enough! You can now find my work in the Design Centre, Launceston and at Spacebar Gallery, Salamanca. I have spent the last months of winter creating some bright and bold pieces for sunny days (living in hope!). I love how we come out of Tassie winter hybernation and start wearing colour again. Although I do rebel against that...I have even been avoiding any black. I feel like wearing colour makes me FEEL more colourful (I think that makes sense?) Here are some of my new pieces, now available at Spacebar or Design Centre:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l6AzjT1_jAs/TnqrPVoirlI/AAAAAAAAAKY/YJhbRO9pzSk/s1600/2-+design+centre.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Woohoo, a tad excited, I am. Now I just need to have the right work made and ready to go, a travel companion or two, babysitter for the kidlinks and an available husband (I mean MY husband to be available to look after fam, oh dear that sounded good!) Ive been really wanting a Hobart stockist, and Ive been waiting for a few months (ages in my book) but these things do happen at the right time in the right season. So I best get back to work; its my 2nd chid-free day left before school hols and I think I need all the time I can get! Here's my new simple pieces for summer- some for sale at the Makers Workshop:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_R7jCOHAXEY/Tlwp8F_9JDI/AAAAAAAAAKE/4bOo24P5GtY/s1600/bundle+of+stretchy+bracelets.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_R7jCOHAXEY/Tlwp8F_9JDI/AAAAAAAAAKE/4bOo24P5GtY/s320/bundle+of+stretchy+bracelets.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Little girl and some lady stretchy bracelets</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_IRhujzLCLo/TlwqBUHgeWI/AAAAAAAAAKI/BZ4VAnbI93I/s1600/girly+necklaces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_IRhujzLCLo/TlwqBUHgeWI/AAAAAAAAAKI/BZ4VAnbI93I/s320/girly+necklaces.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Little girl or lady necklaces</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TL_NE1kuOMQ/TlwqHdK5B9I/AAAAAAAAAKM/aZKivTBTqd8/s1600/single+pendants.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TL_NE1kuOMQ/TlwqHdK5B9I/AAAAAAAAAKM/aZKivTBTqd8/s320/single+pendants.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Single pendants on leather: house and tree<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zC8dbHgbY2M/TlwqMfev0WI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/w8O5q6I980c/s1600/kids+stretchy+necklaces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zC8dbHgbY2M/TlwqMfev0WI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/w8O5q6I980c/s320/kids+stretchy+necklaces.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Little girl's stretchy necklaces<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gloAtwHmHEw/TlwqSMuzJSI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_Vb1iekcqhA/s1600/boy+necklaces.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gloAtwHmHEw/TlwqSMuzJSI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_Vb1iekcqhA/s320/boy+necklaces.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Unisex necklaces: Ive finally made some boy things!Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-28262058072184245822011-08-15T19:44:00.000-07:002011-08-15T19:44:30.114-07:00New tags! Yay, I finally have a professional looking tag, and they're fab because they double as my business card as well. There are 6 different backs, so I can showcase a range of my work at the same time as giving people my general info. Print Domain even drilled the holes for 70% of them - what a bonus! I was able to also use the logo I designed with a collage of Japanese papers, which I photographed on of my vintage silk scarves for a nicely detailed background.

I want to experiment with odd shapes and more asymmetric patterns; I like odd things that are not uniform and orderly!

She inspired me to think about WHAT Im doing and WHY I'm doing it. Do I make a mass produced range of similar products that I can sell on a national scale, or do I keep making unique, one-off pieces , but increase the value? Decisions, decisions - do people really value one-of-a-kind, or do they like mainstream "what everyone else has"? My only answer to that is there are lots of different 'theys' out there, who each different values. So I guess it's up to me: what do I want to do? Well that came to me quickly whilst in this art meeting. I love making individual pieces that are mini wearable artworks! I love experimenting and trying new ways of necklace making, and I get bored with repetition! So there's my answer: keep making unique and add the value that I believe it is due! Here's some new ish pieces:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AMvnXLYSv-U/Thjmh3PYpSI/AAAAAAAAAIU/XszF2NUVAMk/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I've been trying for ages to add items to my madeit store, but every time I make new things they go to a stockist! Don't get me wrong, that excites me and drives me to make more...I just think my next 'small business' step is to engage a international audience via the web. There are so many great tools to get your crafty-arty work out there! I might even try to make a website that links to my blog - now that's stepping into alien territory (for me anyway). </div><div>Enjoying life and all its quirks, mishaps and adventures, Jac xox<br /><br /><br /></div>Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-56125898080476434142011-06-06T22:02:00.000-07:002011-06-06T22:02:58.112-07:00School holidays!Hi people, it's that time of year when life is a little crazy and noisy, with lots of running around, crumbs on the floor and toys piled up in unusual places. Yep, it's school break time. I do look forward to having my boys home and spending time doing stuff (riding bikes, walking to park in coats, playing board games, watching movie with freshly made popcorn) but it does mean that my artistic ideas fall to the wayside. Although I do remember in the last term break, actually really attempting to be arty, and mostly when Avy baby had her day sleep while the boys played lego or computer games. And I did manage to get stuff made and juggling everything was ok....but I do realise now that I ended up at the end of the 2 weeks feeling tired and drained. So, there does come a time when you need to have breaks and have some time to just BE and ENJOY and DREAM. That way, when the boys go back to school I will hopefully be energised and ready to go again.<br />I have been steadily making jewellery in any and every spare moment since last September, when they began to sell really well...that's 9 months of busy making! I think as an artist, you can live on adrenaline, waiting for the next high of sales, and then ' putting your nose to the grindstone' to make the next batch for the next stockist for the next high...and the cycle continues till you are worn out. So what have I learnt over this year of making 'Avy Loves Ned'? There is a time for everything; a time for working and a time for rest. See you after the school holidays!

I had the idea to make her a special necklace, that I hoped would bless her; reminding her of who she is and who she has in this life. It is also based on a bible scripture that is really inspiring as it describes our identity. We are loved and delighted in and we can live life freely, without fear of rejection or punishment. Here's the necklace...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dp4P7ld4Xdc/TeCQhkAIGnI/AAAAAAAAAHI/L3YChIRJYDI/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dp4P7ld4Xdc/TeCQhkAIGnI/AAAAAAAAAHI/L3YChIRJYDI/s320/006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is amazing the depth of meaning that is caught up in one simple, single word xxxx</div><div><br /></div>Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-35913860881910924912011-05-21T23:54:00.000-07:002011-05-21T23:54:30.241-07:00new stockist!I get a bit excited when I find a new stockist - particularly one where Ive fallen in love with them and I want to buy all their things! As soon as I walked through the doors, heard the Stones playing (A & J) and saw the array of beautiful textures and muted colour patterns in display, I would have to say it was actually love at first sight. So the store is called 'Content', and exists on Brisbane St Launceston. If you're keen to have a peek, and you live a couple of hours away like me, they have a facebook page and blog. Anyway, back to the gorgeous things - they had a Mozi girly quilt in white with hot pink and orange patterns all over it, that had a hand-drawn quality to them (sigh) and I envisioned it looking amazing in my little Avy baby's room. The only major problem with this is that her room is a caravan at the moment with no room for such a beautiful item...We sound like gypsies don't we; living at Sisters Beach in an 8 sqr shack with an attached caravan...But oh well it's just for a time, and living at Sisters Beach in a tiny shack is tonnes better then living in a mansion in town (that's what we reckon anyway).<br />So, back to Content and my things they now have for sale (imagine the Stones or Audreys or Norah playing as a backing track..)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDLnjsN0-OY/Tdiw65osl_I/AAAAAAAAAGY/Nv_E0wQkoI4/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GDLnjsN0-OY/Tdiw65osl_I/AAAAAAAAAGY/Nv_E0wQkoI4/s320/008.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">'Take shelter' house pendant</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-388eGqFhJeo/Tdiw_i48jDI/AAAAAAAAAGc/7HqfCxRnhus/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-388eGqFhJeo/Tdiw_i48jDI/AAAAAAAAAGc/7HqfCxRnhus/s320/007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">purple and green stone beads</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uLBxe9Yb6XM/TdixFACkABI/AAAAAAAAAGg/JjnVWMzT1Es/s1600/blue+and+pastel+themed+pebbles.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uLBxe9Yb6XM/TdixFACkABI/AAAAAAAAAGg/JjnVWMzT1Es/s320/blue+and+pastel+themed+pebbles.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">blue and pastel themed pebble beads</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0oKLo5GbxzI/TdixSGXsL0I/AAAAAAAAAGk/WyViOGi7IBI/s1600/110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0oKLo5GbxzI/TdixSGXsL0I/AAAAAAAAAGk/WyViOGi7IBI/s320/110.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">'Full of life' daisy pendant</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1eYY2rKfq9M/TdixUri_2BI/AAAAAAAAAGo/WYrtTPa7SSs/s1600/131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1eYY2rKfq9M/TdixUri_2BI/AAAAAAAAAGo/WYrtTPa7SSs/s320/131.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">pastel mixed media beads</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hw4nPNY_OqE/TdixZpKRUJI/AAAAAAAAAGs/5MyoeRYanW8/s1600/149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hw4nPNY_OqE/TdixZpKRUJI/AAAAAAAAAGs/5MyoeRYanW8/s320/149.JPG" width="198" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">'Take refuge' tree pendant</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pQfoEfB3Khw/TdixjzIOBQI/AAAAAAAAAG0/JXBchKC-Bx0/s1600/136.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pQfoEfB3Khw/TdixjzIOBQI/AAAAAAAAAG0/JXBchKC-Bx0/s320/136.JPG" width="112" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">'Discover me' heart pendant</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KlDQHlch264/TdiyyCC4-nI/AAAAAAAAAG8/iaH5hmb5Eiw/s1600/black+and+white.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KlDQHlch264/TdiyyCC4-nI/AAAAAAAAAG8/iaH5hmb5Eiw/s320/black+and+white.jpg" width="184" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">black and white stones </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for looking and have a fabulous rainy afternoon.

Thought I better put my new things on display - I'm quite proud of these new chunky style beads, and I've found that I quite enjoy wearing one with a scarf over the top, so that you get a hint of both decorative pieces at once! I am making them in different colour themes and with a mix of Japanese patterns as well as vintage patchwork designs. Ahh I love mixing interesting colours and patterns together, particularly a muted colour palette. Here they are...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ELljuqv2jE/TdMRN3S1m1I/AAAAAAAAAFw/vFcA4CIkkvQ/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ELljuqv2jE/TdMRN3S1m1I/AAAAAAAAAFw/vFcA4CIkkvQ/s320/004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rBXmXzitS8k/TdMRUeUpzeI/AAAAAAAAAF0/kEojFda2zjQ/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rBXmXzitS8k/TdMRUeUpzeI/AAAAAAAAAF0/kEojFda2zjQ/s320/005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jnq9Q9Jywlg/TdMRaAEyFNI/AAAAAAAAAF4/p2eeesxeuq0/s1600/007+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jnq9Q9Jywlg/TdMRaAEyFNI/AAAAAAAAAF4/p2eeesxeuq0/s320/007+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SE-DiYU7OXs/TdMRgAV_uVI/AAAAAAAAAF8/7mxrYN3NoPw/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SE-DiYU7OXs/TdMRgAV_uVI/AAAAAAAAAF8/7mxrYN3NoPw/s320/006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_RjU4m-rfbI/TdMRllzWgGI/AAAAAAAAAGA/rZ8dsxvjv30/s1600/009+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_RjU4m-rfbI/TdMRllzWgGI/AAAAAAAAAGA/rZ8dsxvjv30/s320/009+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXWWB2BrxGc/TdMRrMCGIuI/AAAAAAAAAGE/NO9obENu9wk/s1600/010+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXWWB2BrxGc/TdMRrMCGIuI/AAAAAAAAAGE/NO9obENu9wk/s320/010+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qmg2ss4f6Qs/TdMRv0czASI/AAAAAAAAAGI/bH7RGKcpUGA/s1600/011+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qmg2ss4f6Qs/TdMRv0czASI/AAAAAAAAAGI/bH7RGKcpUGA/s320/011+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TyqwuAWl_2w/TdMR18EqPkI/AAAAAAAAAGM/N00E0ACyWc4/s1600/040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TyqwuAWl_2w/TdMR18EqPkI/AAAAAAAAAGM/N00E0ACyWc4/s320/040.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7GDd0euXOlk/TdMR4l0GgqI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/hRXNbshxuWA/s1600/046+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7GDd0euXOlk/TdMR4l0GgqI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/hRXNbshxuWA/s320/046+-+Copy.JPG" width="184" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3h2qiwOBIGA/TdMR-GDqZ1I/AAAAAAAAAGU/TzJOE5h50DM/s1600/048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3h2qiwOBIGA/TdMR-GDqZ1I/AAAAAAAAAGU/TzJOE5h50DM/s320/048.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-33266731380495314432011-05-17T17:16:00.000-07:002011-05-17T17:16:11.880-07:00Do I look like I like having my photo taken?Hi, thought I better put something new on the blog (they say an outdated blog is worse than having no blog at all). I've noticed lately that someone would possibly think that I LOVE having my photo in the paper...I've only been in there 3 times in the last month! It's only the local paper (the 'Advocate') so it's not like I'm gonna be famous or anything, but still. I find this hilarious since I avoid pictures like the plague normally, but I think that once you put yourself out there and start fbooking, blogging, selling your wares around the place: it all becomes a part of marketing your product and helping people to know who you are and what you do. I'm going to put them on here so that you can see what I've been up to (except for the 1 taken at a gallery opening - I don't love seeing myself that much!)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5aP5JlMDOKw/TdMLyhEwBUI/AAAAAAAAAFg/XwhlBSIrL3A/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5aP5JlMDOKw/TdMLyhEwBUI/AAAAAAAAAFg/XwhlBSIrL3A/s320/007.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bVjPKLdF6wU/TdML4ftY_zI/AAAAAAAAAFk/PeBx68jQ1Xo/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bVjPKLdF6wU/TdML4ftY_zI/AAAAAAAAAFk/PeBx68jQ1Xo/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V7xagcrNN8k/TdML-J4XoUI/AAAAAAAAAFo/TVBRhbtXT5I/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V7xagcrNN8k/TdML-J4XoUI/AAAAAAAAAFo/TVBRhbtXT5I/s320/008.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sbQ0Kh5FRWQ/TdMMDNG-_vI/AAAAAAAAAFs/BKKAKApUcj4/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sbQ0Kh5FRWQ/TdMMDNG-_vI/AAAAAAAAAFs/BKKAKApUcj4/s320/009.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, as you can see, it looks like I love seeing myself in print, but well actually, what I really is what I do and the fact that others seem to love it as well. Now, to get off topic, I was chatting to an amazing artist who works at the Maker and is full time in her arts practice: Janine Morris (Second Sister - check out her blog).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am catching her pearls of wisdom as I begin this creative journey of 'making art for a living'. The best pearl she gave me that day, was in regards to time management. Working out how much time you practically have in a week to 'make' and how many things can you make in that time. Well, I've been feeling like I'm "burning the candle at both ends" because I am trying to squeeze in as much art as possible whilst being an acceptable wife and mother. Anyway, to cut this story short, I am learning to put boundaries on how many art opportunities I take on - and keep my art in a box so I don't let it take over all other parts of my life! Thanks Janine for helping me to be a wise, sane, responsible and practical artist. Its certainly a journey - and I'm not there yet! Oh well, we're students of life; we learn as we go. And (I'm choosing to) enjoy the process. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jac xx</div>Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-49133413263569546022011-05-08T03:59:00.000-07:002011-05-08T03:59:18.161-07:00New chunky beads!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lcLTpzMZFhE/TcZxIqWUE6I/AAAAAAAAAEY/CzrY5byJY-A/s1600/043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lcLTpzMZFhE/TcZxIqWUE6I/AAAAAAAAAEY/CzrY5byJY-A/s320/043.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jaAfV6gGeD8/TcZxN-AVV_I/AAAAAAAAAEc/nPbNS9uOhlk/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jaAfV6gGeD8/TcZxN-AVV_I/AAAAAAAAAEc/nPbNS9uOhlk/s320/041.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finished these new necklaces on Thursday at the Maker's studio and I absolutely love them! I found the large wooden beads, which inspired me to make some complimenting paper ones that I could mix with some quirky buttons. The papers used are vintage patchwork patterns which give them a homely, nostalgic feel. I've already sold 2 (at the Made with Love market bazaar on Saturday) so I am in the process of making more paper pulp to build more chunky, organically shaped beads. I will be at the Maker again this Thursday, 10-2:30 if anyone would like to pop in and say hi. It's such a beautiful environment to work in, with plenty of other artists to draw inspiration from, plus sweeping views of the sea (and really good coffee, which is a must!) I am also in the process of trying to make more things to put on 'madeit' web site, which is tricky when you have stores waiting on orders from you. If anyone has any advice on how to do 'madeit' well, can you please let me know? Until next time, enjoy life abundantly xox</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, here's some more new pieces.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hello again! My lovely sister left for Hobart this morning, taking 10 necklaces and 1 wall hanging to a quirky little gallery in Oatlands on her way - thanks my gorgeous Beth! I'm hanging to check out Oatlands again, (one day without kids) as there are some great little antique, clothing and homewares stores, plus an apparently award winning bakery....It's a nice dream anyway. We have a 'Made with Love' market coming up on 7th May in Wynyard, so I m trying to make some mother's day goodies. 'Try' is the operative word, as the kiddies are still on easter break, so there's not alot of arty crafty goin on. Them's the breaks! I'm looking forward to my 'maker' spot at the Maker's Workshop on Thursday...a lovely little island of serene creative energy once a fortnight..aaahh bliss. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I spent the whole day yesterday working in one of the studios at the Maker's Workshop in Burnie. It was a yucky rainy day, but there were still lots of visitors checking the place out. I've only been a 'maker' there for a month, but I already feel a part of the place. I'm there once a fortnight on Thursdays if anyone wants to come and say 'hello'! I have to say it's weird sitting in a studio pod having people watch you work; maybe a little like visiting the zoo and watching animals at play. A father and young daughter came over and chatted yesterday, and he was asking all sorts of question about my craft on behalf of his little one - it was so charming to see a dad investing time and interest in his little girl. Actually, talking about sweet dads, mine surprised me by turning up to have a coffee with me. Ah, love my sweet Dad xxx.Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706113517422613098.post-66137726260592054502011-04-20T04:29:00.000-07:002011-04-20T04:29:47.251-07:00I did it!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RRBLASTTl0U/Ta6_4V9df4I/AAAAAAAAABg/aFuabX7Gdrw/s1600/115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RRBLASTTl0U/Ta6_4V9df4I/AAAAAAAAABg/aFuabX7Gdrw/s320/115.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v-dIkx2quDM/Ta7AEMmJk0I/AAAAAAAAABk/uyudnPXz9j8/s1600/brown%252C+red+and+neutral+pebbles.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v-dIkx2quDM/Ta7AEMmJk0I/AAAAAAAAABk/uyudnPXz9j8/s320/brown%252C+red+and+neutral+pebbles.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mqCv_qCzxhk/Ta7ATRTJyKI/AAAAAAAAABo/FOZD5WAwhgI/s1600/%2527Life+is+beautiful%2527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mqCv_qCzxhk/Ta7ATRTJyKI/AAAAAAAAABo/FOZD5WAwhgI/s320/%2527Life+is+beautiful%2527.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QYNW7fdJPSc/Ta7Aclbz05I/AAAAAAAAABs/1_-WxD6C_YE/s1600/red+theme.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QYNW7fdJPSc/Ta7Aclbz05I/AAAAAAAAABs/1_-WxD6C_YE/s320/red+theme.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z29GgakH2Vw/Ta7AnCPzCNI/AAAAAAAAABw/xl1jd4AOzQA/s1600/108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z29GgakH2Vw/Ta7AnCPzCNI/AAAAAAAAABw/xl1jd4AOzQA/s320/108.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AIDSCWYXmps/Ta7AtolkVwI/AAAAAAAAAB0/JmLEwHMUgOU/s1600/111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AIDSCWYXmps/Ta7AtolkVwI/AAAAAAAAAB0/JmLEwHMUgOU/s320/111.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fa8-lKcR1JE/Ta7AywjGsnI/AAAAAAAAAB4/iRuCV002cdQ/s1600/lilac+theme.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fa8-lKcR1JE/Ta7AywjGsnI/AAAAAAAAAB4/iRuCV002cdQ/s320/lilac+theme.JPG" width="186" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3PWuXq5vCuY/Ta7A7bhW7_I/AAAAAAAAAB8/WVbyoFhaOMc/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3PWuXq5vCuY/Ta7A7bhW7_I/AAAAAAAAAB8/WVbyoFhaOMc/s320/014.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x_h090rRtes/Ta7BB8THsCI/AAAAAAAAACA/odpfq799HYE/s1600/%2527Free+to+fly%2527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x_h090rRtes/Ta7BB8THsCI/AAAAAAAAACA/odpfq799HYE/s320/%2527Free+to+fly%2527.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N4OV46kAMkw/Ta7BKyUDw-I/AAAAAAAAACE/DaQxyM46bbE/s1600/137.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N4OV46kAMkw/Ta7BKyUDw-I/AAAAAAAAACE/DaQxyM46bbE/s320/137.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HVVm6WW0eMw/Ta7BR5sJTnI/AAAAAAAAACI/ISLofauBeUI/s1600/red+earth+vintage.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HVVm6WW0eMw/Ta7BR5sJTnI/AAAAAAAAACI/ISLofauBeUI/s320/red+earth+vintage.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><em>Yay! I started a blog without any help from a computer literate person and I have to say I am proud of myself. Anyway, I never thought I'd start my own blog, but it seems the most effective and easiest way for any artist to display their wares to the whole world (almost). So ..here goes....</em><br /><br /><em>These pics are some of necklaces now available at 'Chille' - a beautiful gift/homewares store in the little coastal town of Wynyard, Tasmania. I am currently working on 4 different styles of necklace - pebbles, stones, mixed media and pendants. </em><br /><br /><em>I am also in the process of sending new work to a gorgeous store in Launceston and a funky little gallery in Oatlands, so I am extremely busy using any spare second to make more things (in between changing an few nappies, preparing children's snacks, loads of washing, etc. Yes mums you know what I'm talking about.) I have to say I am really anjoying being at home with my kids, whilst juggling the art business on the side. They grow up quick, so I am trying to savour these moments right now xx.</em>Jaclyn Pokehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16488790057094819837noreply@blogger.com7
