Katzeye Jewellery

Kathleen Moon is the creative catalyst for the Katzeye Jewellery sisters. She tackles any design challenge with great exuberance. Kathleen lives in Mackay with her husband, and is a busy mother of two.

She has spent a lot of time over the years exploring many types of artistic and crafty projects and was swept away by the beauty of beads in December 2004 along with her sister Carolyn. Making jewellery has also provided outlets for her other interests such as photography, creative writing, graphic design, and use of colour and texture. The other aspects of this art form that Kathleen enjoys and excels at, are the one on one consultations with customers to design custom made pieces and jewellery designs for weddings and special events.

Kathleen has won many awards for her jewellery designs from local Shows to national competitions. She won first place in the 2006 Swarovski Creative Beading Awards of Excellence. Images of her entries are in the " Exhibitions & Awards" section of this website.

She is greatly inspired by the beautiful Art Glass Beads made by her sister Carolyn. Many of Kathleen’s stunning, one of a kind creations are designed to capture the essence and originality of each individual handmade bead.

This artistic outlet not only enables Kathleen to express her love of colour and artistic ability but is also used by her as an educational and creative tool for her two children. This helps them to broaden their perception and to think creatively. She also treasures the creative interaction with her two sisters.

Kathleen is constantly on the look out for beads with interesting texture and colour, to compliment her extensive range. She likes to work with Freshwater Pearls in various shapes, Mother of Pearl and Fire Polished Czech Glass.
