I have always been truly amazed at flowers... like how perfect are they.. the symetry is perfect, the colours are absolutely beautiful and then on top of it they smell - like roses are so perfect in smell - well i think. Maybe i am I am just a old sentimental! oh well.. I am just awestruck at flowers and when all is fruitless I just smell the roses and for that moment I am in heaven..anyway here are a couple of jewelry pieces created as a celebration of flowers.

RAW - creating 52 rings this year - The challenge i am undertaking is to create 1 ring a week.

Hi everyone,

I finally have reopened the shop and getting back into it.
I have worked out that it is easier to open a shop then close a shop.
Here is some pieces that I created while on holidays. But mainly I did nothing whilst on holidays. I hope that 2011 will be great for all of us. I suppose it is what we do with the days right!
Oh and i made another lapis piece. A pendant for myself. I will make a few more lapis pieces and put into the shop.

As always my designs are very diverse .... one day i may focus hopefully......

January 2011 Giveaway:)

Well it is January the 4th and 3rd depending where on the blue pearl you live. I have not been away yet and am thinking that I really need to go to the beach and get away before the new year starts again in ernest. I will let you know if I do get to the beach!!
Here is the giveaway for January!
I thought the new pendants that I have made and added to the shop in november would be cool for someone to recieve.
They are a little thicker then the normal washers and look cool when worn.
The pendant can be personalized to your liking so add a name or a date or a saying or what ever you want when you win this item.
Blessings to you all and I truly hope 2011 is a real cool Year for us all.
