A Few Brooches

I've been working on some brooches recently. Lots of fun, though tinged with guilt as there are quite a few other things that I am actually meant to be working on instead! Anyway, thought I'd share the brooches before I get stuck into my deadline work... (Well, bed first. Deadline work tomorrow!)


Brooches are made from sterling silver sheet with lace-imprinted texture.

Happy Cacti

I stopped at the Sheilam Cactus Garden while taking a little road trip last month. It's an interesting place and left with my camera I can spend quite a while wandering around a fairly small area, bending over prickly plants while trying not to get stuck on them! It was not the best time for flowers, but there were still the odd few spotted around for me to enjoy :)


I love the cacti that are pictured in the centre image and top left image where the broken plants make visible beautiful star shapes :)
