Sparkle! - Third Artist is Colette Blampied Jewellery

Colette Blampied

I began making jewellery about 5 or 6 years ago when some friends asked me to be in a craft sale they were putting on. At first I said no, because I didn't make anything, but they convinced me to make jewellery...because, after all, I had taken 1 class on how to make beaded necklaces.

So it started with beads, then moved on to whatever else I could find that I liked to make interesting jewellery. When the opportunity to work with stainless steel came along I took it and have been working with it ever since. I like the fact that it doesn't rust or tarnish.

My jewellery consists of simple yet modern designs with geometric shapes and sometimes features
other elements if I find them interesting. I have sold my jewellery for the last 2 years at Bazaart and a few other craft sales. It gives me a creative outlet to pursue in my spare time.
