As we enter into another 5 day lockdown here in Vi

As we enter into another 5 day lockdown here in Victoria - a "circuit breaker" as they are calling it - I am feeling for all the people who had significant plans during the period. Those who had weddings planned, businesses who had ordered in stock and hired extra staff for Valentine's Day celebrations, those visiting loved ones......

I have had to cancel 3 workshops during this 5 day period over at
@thewhimsicalbead ,which overall seems like such a small thing, but after the year we’ve had, was financially and emotionally devastating, labor intensive and honestly, quite deflating.

But! I've received so much support and so I want to share the love during this Lockdown/Valentine's Day weekend.
I am having a storewide 30% OFF everything sale.

Just enter the codeword LOVE when prompted during checkout
and your discount will be automatically applied.
Ends Sunday 14th February 11.59pm AEDT.
Rewards points will also be calculated and as always you'll receive free standard shipping.

Spoil yourself or send a gift to a loved one (Yes! I can also gift wrap, just leave me a note during checkout).

Have a wonderful weekend, thank you for the support, and if you're in Victoria, stay strong, I'm with you! 💗

Briefly back in the studio today creating some artworks for my upcoming ‘Colour Pop’ Workshops @thewhimsicalbead .

There’s nothing like bright, happy inky colours to bring some sunshine to your day.

Want to learn how to create colourful, resin-y earrings and pendants? Come and join me in my workshops. Details over on The Whimsical Bead website or get in touch. I’d love to teach you how to create some ‘happy’ earrings!!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted but I’ve been busy behind the scenes over at @thewhimsicalbead
Workshops have started again and I’m excited to teach again myself in a few weeks time. I’d love to see you in a class!

Here’s a little ‘in progress’ pic of the Brick It collection. Almost finished. I’m just in the process of sorting out stockists and if this will be exclusive to them or will be available through the Dani Art website too.

I’m also planning some meeting collections for the coming months and I’d love to here what you’d like to see. Comment below or send me a DM 😊

How interesting that my top nine posts for 2020 ar

How interesting that my top nine posts for 2020 are mostly those where I’ve shared snippets from my life (and my fur babies....of course!!).

Sometimes it’s hard to know how much of yourself to share on social media. I was a very private person before I got sick. Never opened up to people, never talked about my feelings. It just wasn’t the norm in my world. However, I realised when I started teaching that there were so many others struggling with things that I was (many of them fellow creatives). And by sharing, I was able to help them.
I certainly don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do know that in most cases, a problem shared is a problem halved.

We’ve all had a difficult year in one way or another. I’ve hit rock bottom. I’m starting to slowly bounce back. But I am proud of where I am now. I’m proud that I’ve stayed true to who I am and what I believe in. I am learning to accept that some people won’t understand me or even like me. I’m learning to accept that people don’t ‘feel’ as deeply as I do.
In 2021, I’m committed, as always, to self improvement and reflection. And I’ll continue to share all that as it seems from my top nine, you love hearing about all that too!

To everyone that has sent me messages of support, purchased or admired my work and left comments on socials, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
None of it goes unnoticed and I am truly so grateful.
I’m looking forward to more creative studio time in the new year and I hope you’ll continue to follow my journey.
Wishing you all a new year filled with love, light, happiness and creativity.

Love Dani xx

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and were able to have some down time with loved ones.
What a crazy year it's been.

I have been busy pivoting @thewhimsicalbead to survive during COVID and so I haven't spent as much time creating in the studio as I would have liked to.
One of my goals for 2021 is to schedule more regular studio time as I'd love to get back on the torch (doing some more silversmithing) and get back to my polymer clay also. I’ve also got some new things to experiment with!

Due to COVID, I haven't been able to attend markets or get stock to a few of my stockists, so I've decided to have a sale in order for me to start 2021 with a fresh slate and some new collections! Plus with the year we've all had, I also want to help you spoil yourself and your loved ones!

I am offering a storewide 30% OFF sale.
Just enter the codeword BRINGITON when prompted during checkout and your discount will be automatically applied.
Ends Sunday 3rd January 11.59pm AEDT.
Rewards points will also be calculated.

I hope you find something you like
(or maybe time to stock up for gifts?). Don't forget, you’ll also receive free standard shipping.

As always, thank you for your support. I hope 2021 brings only wonderful things for you!

Whilst 2020 has brought much pain and darkness, it

Whilst 2020 has brought much pain and darkness, it has also brought us a shining light in the form of a little golden miracle.

After letting Indi’s breeder know about her cancer and chatting with her about the year that had been, she called me back a few days later to say my situation had touched her heart and she wanted to offer me a puppy.
We had no intention of welcoming another furbaby so soon after Indi’s passing however, as a beautiful friend told me, sometimes you have to recognise and go with the signs. With waiting lists years long, several other people wanting this particular puppy and logistical challenges...amongst other things, all being overcome....it seemed this was meant to be.

The guilt is still strong as it the grief. I don’t think that will subside anytime soon. I miss my Indi girl so much. But this beautiful, crazy, adventurous girl has made our hearts a little less broken.

Welcome to our world Kenzi Mae.
In the few short weeks you’ve been here have brought us so much happiness. I love you so very much.

Happy Christmas Eve!

What a year it’s been. I want to thank you all for your support. It has kept me going through a big year of loss, pain, physical & mental health issues, financial struggles. This year has also brought along some great positives - huge personal growth, reflection, direction and new connections - and much of that is due to all of the support I’ve received from people like you!

Your purchases, kind words, shares and messages are never taken for granted. I really do appreciate each and every one of them.

I haven’t been as active on this account as I’d like this year as I’ve been busy working on getting @thewhimsicalbead through covid, however I appreciate you sticking with me. I’ve got exciting plans for next year and I hope you’ll join me!

I read something today that really resonated with me, “One can achieve amazing things in their lifetime but it is their kindness and how they made others feel that remain in the hearts of the people they leave behind”.
I think this applies more so this year than ever before. It’s been a tough one for many. I’m so many different ways. I urge you to look around you this Christmas. Ask yourself how you can bring a little joy to someone's life. Even the smallest gesture, such as a smile for a stranger in the street, could make someone's day.

Once again, thank you so much for your support. I am so grateful. Truly.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a new year filled with happiness, good health, creativity and a little bit of magic!

Love Dani xx

I’m a big believer in giving back and showing people how much you appreciate them this time of year.

Whether it be loved ones, those in need via a charity or maybe people who have made your life just a little easier throughout the year. A small gesture can mean so much....a handwritten note, some handpicked flowers or a batch of cookies you’ve baked or a gift from a artist or small business doing it tough in 2020 (you’ll be helping two people with one purchase!).

So, in the spirit of giving back, every purchase that is made on the website from now until 24th December will receive a Free Pair of Dani Art Earrings for you to Pay it Forward (or keep for yourself if you’d rather....it’s been a tough year!).

Just write me a note during checkout saying ‘I Want to Pay it Forward’ or similar and I’ll add your freebie in with your parcel. Too easy!
