* New Creation * Star Flower

This is another of my super duper new creations made on a fabulously creative Friday night..... I know it would probably be better for my social life if I was out with friends meeting people or something, but I was feeling in the zone that night and didn't have a headache (after four solid days of pain I was ready for a nice clear head).
I gave this one to my brothers girlfriend, Manuela, for Christmas (well she chose it from my collection) and the picture is of it hanging around her lovely neck :-)

Heart of Hearts Pendant * Commissioned Piece *

This piece was created especially for a chap I know through work. I sure hope his beautiful girlfriend likes her Christmas gift!
It turned out fantastically! I used a different method to get the brushed effect and am very happy with the result. The other brushed pieces I've done have a softer finish, but I like the way more light refracts of the deeper etching on this pendant.

* New Creation * Spike Flower

I know. Spike Flower is another not very interesting name for a piece.... brain tired as explained previously...
This piece is now listing in etsy and made it stores.

Update: Sat. 16th Jan 2010 - This piece is now ~sold~ 
P.S. It's actually a dandilion.... how brain dead am I!?

* New Creation * Swirl Flower

Swirl Flower isn't exactly a very inspired name for this one, but I've been driving all day (well it feels like it anyway) and my brain is not feeling very creative. And yes it is now listed on etsy and made it...
 I found some pretty scrapbooking papers while in Gympie for the holidays... do you like it? I thought I'd try out some different backgrounds to iPhotog my stuff on.

Sweet!
Thanks to the lovely Tanya my neighbour for loving owls and buying it for herself (from hubby of course) for Christmas. xx K

Bella loves the bookshelf




Yesterday while I was busy adding stuff to my made it store
Bella decided to explore the reading materials on the bookshelf
in the study. I have no idea how she got up there. I saw movement
out of the corner of my eye, looked up and there she was.
Such a little monkey cat.

New Creations * Dangley Earrings *

It is so past bed time for me tonight, I feel constantly exhausted at the moment. I don't know if it's the heat keeping from sleeping soundly or the frantic buzzing of new ideas around my brain. Probably a combination of both, but more so the buzzing.... so many ideas.... so few recreational hours in the day....

I think my Bella is wondering why I'm spending so much time in the study tonight, she has been popping in occasionally to check out what I'm doing, and rub against my leg a little. Sometimes she stays for a chat, most times she leaves in disgust!

On Monday night I got busy and created a few bits to go on dangley earrings. Tonight I finished, photographed and listed them in the Etsy store. Epic! So glad that's over.

I managed to make a mess of liver of sulfur in my workshop while finishing the earrings off and have tarnished my rings, stained a few towels and a countless number of tools. Oops.... I still have the stench up my nose and on my hands..... Yucko! Yuck! Yuck!

The tarnish will come off the rings and tools with a bit of elbow grease (that reminds me, I must go find said rings), the towels will wash clean and the smell will be gone by the morning.

Yawn! G'nite all.
