About Liana

My photo
Brisbane, Australia
My studio is located in Brisbane, Australia. For the past 10 years I’ve been enjoying creating jewellery designs from an array of mundane materials. Tupperware and knitting needles have remained a firm favourite. My designs have been published numerous times, graced the shelves of many wonderful galleries and stores and been worn by those whose aren’t afraid of colour and attention. All of which I am very grateful for. For several years I’ve also been fortunate enough to work with many businesses as a coach and workshop facilitator.

Thanks Frankie!



I spotted (via Miss Kylie) my Measure-Up Brooch in the current issue of Frankie. So thanks Frankie for being a great magazine and for being ever so supportive of little ol' me!

My My MySpace


I'm taking advantage of the quiet before the storm (Xmas that is) to get my online world in order. Sometimes (OK often) I think I live here more than in the real world!

Anyway, my current mission is to conquer MySpace, or at the very least set up a pretty profile page, and network, network, network.

$


A quick note to let you know that I have lowered my prices in my Etsy shop because of the $. I'll do the same in my website shop too for US pricing. It would be great if Etsy and my own website had a currency converter, but until then I'll just have to do it the old fashioned manual way!

What's Going On??


Just a quick update for why it has been so long between posts. I usually am a little more regular than this, but life has just gotten in the way a bit too much lately. It has been darn fun and chaotic too. My parents were staying with me for the past two months so consequently I went out A LOT! Hey Mum nothing again you and Dad it was great, and greatly appreciated, but...

Now my parents have safely returned to Sydney Town I'll have to get back on track with work. And there is lots too do as Christmas is rapidly approaching! Anyway better go now and get a start on all that...

On Sale


Necklaces are on sale. This is a limited offer. I can't say how limited. Probably just until I don't feel like it anymore.

Mother/Daughter


Looking through my daughter's sketchbook last night I was draw to this image. I just loved it. It was something in the expression. The eyes perhaps.

I asked her what it was about. Why she had drawn it? Why was there a broken heart? And the lantern? But she just looked at me, and said Mum, I'm 12, I just think it looked cool. Fair enough I thought, because I agreed.

Perhaps a mother/daughter exhibition is looming somewhere in our futures.
