Blogging revisited

Well I haven't blogged for sometime and where my blog used to be about jewellery it's now gonna be a bit more about life lol.

Thoughts for today...

...always carry your nail varnish in the event of a lost nail incident.

...Don't expect everyone to see your point of view.

...Don't believe everything a horny man says.

Making Jewellery Magazine

My new project is in the new issue out today. Im so pleased with it :)

Blog revisited

I havent blogged on here for such a long time and to be honest i forgot about the account! Well the craft fairs are starting again and i had a lovely time at Hirwaun Community Hall yesterday. Next one is on 21st April at Servinis in Aberdare. Best get making again! X

My new online shop!

Buy my pieces at my new shop at http://catonabeadmat.bigcartel.com/

Tense, nervous headache

Oh well, it's done. I've put my entry into the Rhondda Heritage Park Open Art competition. There is some superb work in there and I don't expect to win any sort of prize. If the judges just select my work to be in the gallery, that would be more than I could ask for. It would be wonderful to see my work on the wall after all these years.

I've called it 'From Her Garden'. I have to wait nearly two weeks to find out if it will be hung. Stomach is going to be turning knots every minute until then :s

Ok. So my challenge was to create an organic style stitch marker from these beads.

I potched about with some bronze chain that I had left over and bronze eye pins in keeping with the algae flavour of the beads. They also remind me of turtle shell!

I hope the result is ok Bek! If they are no good curved, I can straighten them out.

Humph!

Got loads of tidying up to do but just want to play with beads. Going to try and get all tidying done in the next hour and then have the afternoon to play!
