I am inspired by beautiful colours and love the satisfaction of playing with colours and shapes, arranging and rearranging so they look their best and compliment each other. I am fascinated by the fact that the same glass / colours / shapes / beads rearranged can optimise or detract from the beauty and colour.  I have evolved to work predominantly with glass, and mix colours shapes and fusing techniques, not wishing to be constrained by just one - so long as the wearable glass art looks and feels right and works for myself and, subsequently, the wearer.

I love to make pretty, beautiful, stylish, different, and wearable jewellery that looks great and doesn't cost the earth. For me, it is about enabling women to feel good about what they are wearing, knowing that you look good and it didn't cost the earth!

As a little girl I loved playing with my Mum's button tin and laying out the buttons. I could do it for hours; grouping colours, lining them up over and over again, and I remember the feel of different buttons - some cold, some warmer, some shiny, some dull - some beautiful ones that were shell and  paua.  I also had an ancient old Aunt who ran a sweetie (lolly) shop - oh how I dreamed of working in a sweet shop.

Designing and creating jewellery is like working in a sweetie shop, I still get all the pleasure and enjoyment, I just don't get fat!

I am Christina, married to a Kiwi, and my home is in Wellington, NZ.  I met my lovely husband internet dating in the UK - the next thing I know, here I am. I have two grown up sons, one here and one in the UK.  I am a nurse by profession and that is still my day job!   I have always had a quiet creative streak - but uninspired until I moved to NZ - here anything seems possible.

My move to  wearable glass art brings all aspects of my jewellery under my control. I design and create, fuse and complete - my creations are mine to share!

My jewellery is all created and hand made by me here in Wellington , New Zealand.
