Work to be done

Some new casts waiting to be turned into beautiful jewels!

This pod is particularly dear to me-I collected it while on holiday in Thailand, about seven years ago. It was a very special time as I got to meet up with a wonderful Australian friend whom I had not seen in 10 years. We spent a month exploring all we could of that very beautiful country-it was a truly magical time. I plan to turn this pod into a ring (/weapon of self-defence, should the need arise).

Bluegum worm: I plan to turn these mini bluegum pods into stud earrings, but I discovered that they make a rather nice worm. Think I need to cast a lot more and look into bracelets and dangly earrings.

New Iris Pod Pendants

New iris pod pendants, fresh from my bench. Hope you like :)

Facebook page opened today!

There are a few friends who have been telling me (for the longest time) to open a facebook page for "The Lovely Ones". I am not entirely sure why it has taken me so long. Anyway, I hope they will be happy now, I certainly am :) 

(I still need to figure out how to put the little face book button on to the blog, and how to link all these pages to each other, but I think I have accomplished enough for one day; that will have to be another day's task!)

Going through some old pics...

Wild Peach

These wild peach necklaces are one of my most favourite things. You will be seeing many more of these :)

Creativity 2011 Finalist

A little while ago a got a phone call to say that I have been selected as one of 25 finalists in the Ideas Magazine, 'Creativity 2011' competition! All finalists work will be published in the September issue. Can't wait to see all the entries and of course the overall winner :) My lily pendant is the piece that got me a place as a finalist.

Paw Paw Flower Pendant

The first pendant that I have completed from the flowers that I gathered from my mother's little paw paw nursery and cast.
