Meet the Maker

Hi!
My name is Sharlea and I live in The Blue Mountains, NSW with my husband, our 2 boys (Frankie and Henry) and our fur-baby (Pepper). My professional background is in colour consulting and interior decoration and design and i'm a self-confessed colour nerd. I would love to visit Morocco one day but for now, I am perfectly happy at home making beautiful things!
I'm the type of person who constantly needs to be creating something with my hands and at the end of 2021, hubby and I sold our little inner-city apartment, bought a house in the mountains and discussed my plans (dreams) of turning the spare room into my creative studio and that's exactly what we did. And now here we are, 3 years later, living the dream <3
Why Polymer Clay / Jewellery?
I discovered polymer clay while scrolling social media one night. It just looked like such a great way to explore my creativity. I quickly learnt that it's a medium that can be quite forgiving and offers SO many options to create truly individual designs. There is always a new technique to learn, new colours schemes to come up with, new charms and shapes to use and new layouts and designs to think up.
I have always been attracted to earrings - They add such an effortless oomph to an outfit, can be quite affordable and don't take up much space. It only made sense for me to start making my own, given my already huge collection.
Pepper Mountain earrings are handcrafted using high quality polymer clay which makes them light-weight, and have hypoallergenic components which is perfect for sensitive ears. I love creating one-off pieces, totally unique to the wearer, and creating custom styles to perfectly suit you and yours.
At the end of the day, it's so much fun to see what comes out of my brain!
