Off to Abu Dhabi... The work, not me :)

Here they are, my little creations, ready to travel the world.

Pieces will go on display at a Freedom Day Celebrations Art Exhibition (apparently the third of it's kind) from the 26 April to 1 May. The brief was 5-8 pieces, but I could not decide which to leave out, so I am sending 9 and hoping for the best.

Some Work For England

Some of the work that I will be taking to England in the hope of earning some Pounds... :)

Raspberry Cookie Day

I don't pay much attention to Valentine's Day and all that, but my sister made me such a pretty cookie, I figured I should share it... :)

Exhibition in Abu Dhabi

I received an email from Sue at Artisan Gallery saying that she will be sending some work to an exhibition in Abu Dhabi, if anyone is interested in participating. It seems like a fun thing to do, so I have added yet another item to the ever increasing list of things I need to do in the ever decreasing amount of time between now and the 10th of March. (That being the day when I will be boarding a plane headed for London to share in the celebrations of my brother's wedding!)


A few of the new (not yet finished) earrings that I am working on at the moment. These earrings still need to be cleaned and oxidized, then brushed up and tumbled. They will look much more attractive once completed :)

The two pairs on the right hand side are actually the same pair-I have just turned the pods around. I am all for multi-purpose or reversible goodies so the pods will come on a pair of ear wires that will allow the wearer to turn them around if desired. One day smooth and concave, convex and textured the next.

My Spot On The Floor

Mostly I'm sitting on a chair at my bench, but if I am doming or disk cutting, this patch of floor is my place. Little Shelley comes to check on my progress from time to time :)

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 :)
