Please log in to my facebook page EricaLongJewellery and click 'like' to keep up with my creations.......... I have also started an ETSY site http://www.etsy.com/shop/EricaLongJewellery. Please have a look............ I have been making jewellery for a few years now and mostly create one-off designs. I let the beads determine the design but also take commissions. You can see my work at several markets around Brisbane.

Where can you find one-off creations?

I sell my original one-off creations at The Samford Valley Markets on the second Saturday of the month. Here is the address of their blog.
My designs are originals made with quality beads and accessories. No imported cheap rubbish...
We also go to the Stafford Heights Baptist Church Art and Craft Market on the first Saturday of the month. They have fantastic 'real' coffee there.

Fresh Jade Wired Design

Love the freshness of this jade and silver hand-wired design.

The Betty Challenge Pieces.

A bag of bronze themed beads morphed into these Autumn designs.

Working with Wire

This was meant to be a simple bracelet but when you work with wire it sometimes take on a mind of its own.This necklace of trading beads took a long time as it is all hand worked including the curls and drops.

Latest Creation

Here is my latest creation. I have mixed purple and green, which is always a popular colour scheme and tried to create a garden effect with the large flower beads. The chain is hand-made as are the wire-worked dangles.



Come and see my creations at:

The Stafford Heights Baptist Chruch Arts and Craft Market on the first Saturday of each month (8am to Noon) Appelby Road and

The Samford Valley Markets on the second Saturday of each month (7am to Noon) Corner of Serendipity and Main Streets.

This market went ahead even though we have had quite a deal of rain - how fantastic. Water restrictions are being lifted gradually and it has rained steadily since.

Welcome to My Blog...

I create one-off designs and sell them to friends, at markets and at a local beauty salon.
This design was named "Mooloolabah - The Spit Childhood Memories" and was recently published in one of Australia's leading beading magazines.

Brand new to blogging

Let's see how this goes.

Friends have suggested doing this to showcase the original handmade jewellery I design and sell here in Brisbane.
