Green@Uluru

While Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is defined by rich ochre hues, the area around this famous sandstone formation is actually a "green haven".

Boasting over 416 species of native plants in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park alone, you'll be surprised how rich in flora and fauna this part of the Northern Territories - the central heart the Australian Outback - can be. Like an oasis in the desert, the Mutitjulu Waterhole at the base of Uluru serves as a critical source of water for the aboriginal people. Hidden amidst the creeks too are plants that thrive on rain that falls into the catchment pools.

This necklace, made with a similar glass bead used in my earlier Uluru design (but this time in green), is a tribute to the resilient flaura and fauna that gives Uluru such natural beauty, and a wonderful part of God's creation! Clasping the striking painted glass bead are small two-toned blue glass baubles, even tinier azure Swarovski Elements and acrylic ice-cubes, adding a cool factor to the overall very demure design.

Uluru

What colour will Uluru be when you see it? Will it be deep red, as it catches the first rays of sunrise framing its 348m ancient sandstone formation or a different colour at another time of day or year? Located in the centre of Australia, this amazing World Heritage Site is undoubtedly the country’s most iconic natural wonder and the world's most massive monolith.

Inspired by the mystical beauty of Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, the square painted glass bead on this necklace captures your imagination as much as the ancient rock paintings drawn by the Anangu people - the traditional landowners of Uluru. A single red glass bead dangling at the tip brings to mind the flaming sun as it rises and sets beyond the horizon of the Australian Outback.

Many stories surround the massive monolith, passed down generations through Tjukurpa, or known by non-Aborigines as“dreamtime stories”. Whether you've set foot yourself on Uluru's arid terrain, or explored the famed 36 rock domes at the nearby Valley of the Winds in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the awe-inspiring Red Centre... and perhaps, this little piece of jewelry... are definitely the stuff of dreams.

Krabi

My friend, C doesn't wear costume jewellery because of her skin allergy. But she has a new dress that she would like to accessorise with a nice beaded necklace and so she "commissioned" me to customise something for her.

This 4-strand azure-hued necklace was made with crystal-like acrylic beads, sprinkled with flower-motif wooded beads and two-toned glass baubles. Fishing wires were used instead of metallic ones and C just has to fasten it round her neck with the navy blue, grosgrain ribbon - no metal hooks needed.

It'll remind C of her recent beach holiday in Krabi, Thailand filled with blue skies, pristine waters of the Andaman Sea, relaxed hours on the sandy beach in casual beach wear and lots of sun tan...
