Firey Soul

"Friends are born, not made .... "  Henry B Adams

As artists we often talk about what inspires us to create - for me it is often a moment that will catch my heart, or the person I am creating for. This cuff was created for someone who epitomises "firey soul" - the colour is one she wears well - the fire opal swarovski crystals reflect her passion.  Life has not been easy, she has had her share of hard times but you can be always guaranteed of a joke at the tip of her tounge and a warm hug from her embrace ... this cuff is for Pam  ❤

Design:  Caron for Caron Michelle
Technique:  Erin Simonetti
Materials:  Swarovski Crystals, Miyuki Delicas

Sunday Drive - Noosa

“My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


With the advent of spring and the beautiful warm weather that has returned, it was fabulous to get up early and go for a drive to Noosa.  I accompanied a friend to visit this small busy spot approximately two hours north of Brisbane (home).

Noosa is a bustling beach suburb where many from all walks of life come to play and relax.  In the height of summer it is jam packed with tourists and visitors.  We arrived early to enjoy a lovely breakfast in one of the many cafes and wandering through the many beach side shops.  The highlight of the trip was to walk along the boardwalk and sit in the sun enjoying the water and beach views.

My soul is now revived for the week ahead.
