Blossom

I can feel Spring in the air - even though it is colder than it's been all Winter ... the end is in sight .. 

rushing by

Halfway through January and the year is already rushing by, which is a scary thought. 
But it won't be long before we see blossom on the trees - a lovely thought.

Summer's end

The last of my sweet peas for this Summer. This is the first year I've successfully grown them from seed.

Resin

I'm in the process of making some resin jewellery, it's a slow learning curve - getting rid of air bubbles, polishing, smoothing, drilling etc. I really should go on a course to learn how to do this but I'm the kind of person who rushes into doing things before I know how to do them properly - I'm too impatient to wait for the course to come up, I just missed one this February and the next ones not til June. I never read instructions - just work things out as I go along - very hit & miss but the only way for me!

After years of working at my computer it's brilliant to actually be making something again. I love resin and glass jewellery and have been buying rings from the Jackie Brazil range and big chunky Murano glass ones from Jam Gallery, my latest acquisition being a goldy coloured venetian type glass ring. I'll photograph some of my resin pieces when they're finished, in the meantime I've drawn them.
