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.

Facebook Business Page v's Group Page


A sudden rush of enthusiasm led me to set up a Facebook business Page last night. Well actually firstly I set up a group, invited 200 people to join, and then promptly decided a page would be far better - DOH!. The thing is I guess I just didn't really understand the difference between the two, and it was only through setting up the group that I quickly worked it out.

On retrospect of course it would have been better if I had set up the perfect page that I was perfectly happy with first, and then invited people to join! But I guess I do tend to operate in this way. I try things, I change things, I make mistakes, and I don't mind admitting it when I do. I'm always willing to learn a better way and try something else. Not perfect, but not too bad too! Anyway, It has got me this far.

p.s I've added a fan folder, so if you have any pics of you wearing my jewellery you are most welcome to add them. In fact, I'd love you to!

Birthday Special - Knitwit Bangles - 2 for $40



My Birthday (month) is going so well that I just thought I would like to say a bit of a thank you to you all. Really just a bit more of a thank you than by just saying thank you!

So I've decided to offer some $40 specials for the rest of the month. Because I wish I had thought of this a bit earlier, I'll be running lots of these until the end of March. They will all be posted here, so you'll be the first to know if you come back often!! The only tiny catch is that I would ask that you be a newsletter subscriber. I aim for the newsletters to be sent once a month, but sometimes, ah it gets to be a lot less than that!

KNITWIT BANGLE SPECIAL BIRTHDAY OFFER - valid until the end of March.

2 Knitwit bangles - $40AU + $7AU registered post - Australian postal address.
2 Knitwit bangles - $40US + $7US postage - International postal address - worldwide.

Princess Liana


At times I can be a bit of a princess. I admit it. But I never though Mattel would make a doll to honor the fact! I really think I have to get this Princess Liana Barbie doll for my collection. Or maybe I should just get two and give the other one to Margaux so she can make me something special.

Just Because Not Enough Things Are Pink!


I've started a few little experiments. There are a few things I've been wanting to get around to for ages. But you know how it can go, there always seems to be something more important to do and sometimes these things just get put on the back burner. Also experimenting takes time, and money, and when you you run a business you can't always afford to spend a lot of time doing these things. I do also think that you can't afford not to. It is important to stay fresh, come up with something new, and to have fun. Lots of fun! That just makes your work better, and you work better too.

At the moment I'm experimenting with dyeing various plastics, because frankly, not enough things I make come in pink!

A found tape measure dyed a lovely shade of pink - pictured above

Stay tuned for more dye jobs to follow. Perhaps I'll even try a few other colours too!
