Drug smuggler and reality TV show contestant Schapelle Corby has revealed she’s turned her passion into a new career.

Schapelle Corby has had a career change.

The former convicted drug smuggler turned reality star is expanding her clock-making business.

Corby, 44, got into epoxy resin about two years ago, hand signing each piece she creates and sells through Instagram for $199 delivered.

“I’m self taught and through a lot of trial and error I’m happy with where I am creatively with my clocks,” Corby told Confidential. “I’m mainly inspired to do beach theme art work. I do all the work by myself, sanding, drilling etc. All of the shells used are collected by myself mainly on the low tide of a full moon. I remember each shell I find and while I’m working on my creations I really feel love for each piece of the process.”

Corby has become somewhat of a reality TV favourite after serving her time of 10 years in Bali’s infamous Kerobokan prison.

She appeared on Dancing With The Stars and was a popular contestant on the first season of SAS Australia.

Based in Brisbane, Corby spends most of her time working on her passion.

“Epoxy resin has become more than just a hobby for me, it really occupies most of my thoughts,” she said. “I’m continually thinking of an epoxy problem and finding solutions, fills my dreams also.

“I’ve dreamt of certain creations vividly, woke and got to work creating what came to in a dream. This creative art forms has giving me so much purpose to my days; I absolutely love this passion of mine.”
