CREATE
THINGS OF STONE AND WOOD By Anita Roe From Rachelle Roe Studio

elcome back to our loyal EYS readers and hello new supporters. Each of you motivates us to creatively roll forward and share our journey along the way. It’s exciting to see new team members and watching the content grow. Every edition boasts something new and intriguing to look forward to. I continue to enjoy handcrafting and designing new jewellery for my clients and the Toowoomba climate provides the opportunity for definitive seasonal styles. With the cooler months approaching, I decided on a jewellery and fashion theme to suit our gorgeous Autumn/ Winter season here in Toowoomba, Queensland. Our parks and gardens put on a spectacular display whilst the trees shed their gold and bronze layers, leaving a textured carpet of natural sheer beauty. To compliment the season, I chose wood and stone elements in general teamed with silky tassels and subtle colours to compliment such textures. The results were above and beyond my expectations. I reached back out to fashion stylist and business owner Aaliyah of A’lia Collective and in perfect harmony we chose some incredible garments to compliment both my jewellery and the style of the clothing we decided on. The mixture of cotton, linen and both crisp and earthy colours produced the style I was looking for. Cherie, owner and artisan of The Flower Grocer, contributed by creating the most beautiful, dried flower bouquet. Our look was then complete and ready to be showcased by local models Kaitlyn Hele and Madeline Armit.
