I just had to show you these wonderful rings by Su of Quercus Silver.
She makes the most beautiful silver and resin jewellery and uses the most luscious of colours in her creations. Among her work are Bangles, Pendants, Earrings, Cufflinks and of course, Rings
The glow from this fantastic Hewn Ring just makes me want to pick it right up from the picture and wear it. I love Emerald Green.
Su is from Bath in the UK, just up the road from me. She explains that Quercus is latin for Oak, which is a symbol of Wisdom, Strength and Love.
Her Jewellery certainly has a wonderful strength to it and is obviously made with a lot of love and attention to detail. As for the Wisdom - well I think that a purchase of one of her pieces would be a very wise move for me to make!

Cascade
This is my new bracelet which I have called Cascade, for obvious reasons.
This is an idea that has been going around my head for a little while now and I have more plans for it. This is the first step on a journey to get this bracelet exactly as I have envisioned it in my head. It is not there yet, but this is the first step towards the end.
Have to say I love the colours - must stop making things in teal, green and blue, but they are the colours that call to me most. Sometimes I just can't help myself!

My Very Talented Friend
These beautiful mosaic trees were created by my friend Jo, of Muddle House Mosaics.
Her mosaics have to be seen to be believed. Such beautiful colours, shapes and such attention to detail and finish. She is a bit of a perfectionist to say the least!
She has created mosiacs for Schools, Swimming Pools (take a look at her dolphins!), gardens and of course indoor pieces as well. My favourite piece was her Mad March Hares - you can see it on Flickr. Absolutely stunning!
I am now the proud owner of one of her trees, a Christmas Present from Jo.
Check out more of her work on Flickr, link above.

No More Promises!
Happy New Year to You.I'm not a great one for making new year resolutions, but this is one that I can keep. Not to make anymore promises about how much I am going to blog. Because I will not keep them.
It's not that I don't like blogging - I do - its very relaxing to get some of the thoughts in my head down on paper, it's just that life in general gets in the way of it. I am sure you know exactly what I mean.
I am hoping that if I do not feel that I should be blogging then maybe, just maybe, I will blog a little more!
So, a new year and a few pictures of new things for you to see!
May 2009 be full of creativity and adventure for all of you.

Time!
Time. Where does it all go? Where can I get more of it? I need more time!
The past few months have been so busy that this poor little blog has been very neglected. Apologies to everyone who has popped in and found nothing new to read and apologies to myself for not keeping up with this, as I promised myself I would!
It is only 6 weeks until Christmas, as my Daughter has just informed me and I am in the midst of my busiest season, with lots of stock to make for the 7 craft fairs I have booked - yes that is 7! So my Season Resolution for between now and New Year's Eve is to try and blog once a week, just a short, sweet blog - about all the new friends and fellow artists I have met in recent months in various on line places.
Readers you are in for a treat! Pictures today are just some of the new work I have been doing!

Green Loveliness from UK!
I was so happy and delighted to be told by my friend Liz from Made in Lowell http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5005589 that I had made the front page of Etsy!
This is the very first time it has happened and I was just a little over excited!
A big thank you to Knottwood for featuring me in her amazing Green Treasury, featuring some amazing Artists from the UK. I was proud to be amongst such Talent. Visit Knotwood's Etsy Shop here, she has some beautiful items : http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5111001 and also at www.knottwood.co.uk
Thanks to Tejae, Lynda and of course Liz for helping get the screenshot to this page.

A Whole Month?
I cannot believe that it has been a whole month since my last blog entry. As my Teachers would have said "Could try harder!"
I have been busy though - some new things to show you all.
First of all I was very inspired by my Holiday in Cornwall. Beautiful Beaches, Dramatic Cliffs, Huge Waves and lots of Beachcombing!
The North Coast of Cornwall is very wild - and I spent ages collecting various washed up shells, bits of pottery and seaglass and lots of pebbles. So of course I had to have a go at making some Polymer Pebbles.
I was really pleased with the results - so many people have thought they are real and are surprised when they pick them up and find they are so light.
I have also been trying to make some organic shapes. I wanted something airy and delicate, which does not break easily. I am not there yet, but found a new design along the way! Not sure about them, but they were fun - and I think they are just a stepping stone to a new path. We will see. Let me know what you think!
I am hoping to get back into the swing of things now that the children are back at School, so I will have lots more to show you and share with you.
