Jewellery & other lovelies
I love hand making jewellery and other items, and I love encouraging others, so with this in mind I started Meesshh Jewellery. I love the idea that my work may be able to encourage someone else along the way.
Read moreMost people eat chicken soup when they’re sick, and whilst I’ve eaten more than my fare share of chicken soup, particularly in the last year, this week i turned to crafternoon-ing to lighten up my current sick spell. I have been trying my hand at using milk paint in various shades to distress furniture, and once you get past feeling like your ‘ruining’ the furniture, you cant help but love it. I love love love how this set of drawers turned out.

My absolute beginnings of metal stamping and copper work. Whilst I don’t think these pieces are perfect or market ready, I like them because they represent the beginning of something new.

Meesshh is having a stall at HerTime at Kardinia Christian Church in Bell Park on Wed 13th May from 7pm. This will be a community night for women which will involve a mothers day market. Meesshh has new resin homewares which will be launched at this market, including the coasters in this picture. See more by coming along for a look. Don’t miss out!
Well it has been a long time since I’ve undertaken a market. There has been a number of challenges to face, particularly illness that have affected Meesshh towards the end of 2014. However 2015 is proving to be a better year, and as I am on the improve health wise, I have also undertaken a beginner silver smithing course. Whilst I still can’t say I could recreate my Bali pendant again yet, I am enjoying my new found skills and hope to introduce some copper pieces to markets in the near future. This picture is of a pendant I made at the course, which is probably half way through at this point. Very fun!

One of my favorite words to put on jewellery is ‘courage’, because I feel like its a great visual reminder to have courage in the challenges of day to day life! I love when people tag me in posts about their jewellery and here are a few pics ive been tagged in recently, including a few of the courage pieces I mentioned.

I am having a quiet year this year, as I have been unwell with a chronic illness and as a result unable to pursue markets as I would wish. However my work room is still being used when I am able, and Meesshh will be back in due course with fresh and exciting ideas. We all need to know when to rest ourselves and my creativity and imagination doesn’t produce the results that I like when I try and force it.
As Solomon wrote ‘to everything there is a season’ and my season right now is for rest.

Oh goodness I have awoken an inner silver smithing beast. Here is a silver pendant I made on my recent holiday to Bali. I must confess that it was a half day course in which I designed and cut it out; but the host did all the tricky things like welding. However I very much enjoyed it and am now determined to find a course I can do to learn how to do all the tricky bits too.

I am always interested in little projects, and here is the fruit of my recent #crafternoon as I distressed some op shop frames. Was fun.

I have been busy! Lots of fresh new stock currently drying in the study.

Here we are at the Steampacket market on the waterfront. It is always lovely and encouraging when I have friends visit me at my stall, and Jess decided to stay the entire day in 30 degree heat to support me. What a legend. Please excuse the steamy photo – darn humidity.
Steampacket markets run on the first Sunday of each month year round. So come along and check it out one day! You wont be disappointed.
