A huge ring.

Sorry, I was a bit carried away yesterday... who wants to see chickens on a jewellery blog? Here is something that I was working on yesterday. It is a huge ring for me. The stone is a gorgeous labradorite. My folks bought it for my 40th as I wanted to make a ring to commemorate such a momentous occasion. It has gorgeous flashes of green and blue. I love it. Hopefully I will get this finished so I can wear it on Friday night.

(The stone is just balanced in the ring for this shot). Really need to get on with stuff today, I have a few rings in work that I definitely want finished by Friday, and I have a few bangles to finish and polish.
Must dash!

Errrm, I think they are just checking I am getting on with work. I don't think they could get much closer!

London Blue Topaz

Sorry, couldn't resist it. Here is that London Blue in the morning sunshine.

Better get on with some work.

This is what I am doing today. Making rings for some of my lovely sparkly stones. I decided that some people can't visualise them as rings, and they do look super made up, so that is what I am doing. The only thing is they can't really be re-sized once the stones are set, so I just have to hope some people have the right size fingers.

I was gem shopping over the weekend, and have got lots of new sparklers, including the lovely London Blue Topaz that you can see above. It really is my favourite shade of blue Topaz, I'll post a close up later in the week when its complete.

...just because the images of my stuff look great....really better get on with some work now, I was in the middle of making some rings!

Me and my CV.

Just wrote a mini CV to stick on the wall for Open Studio. (If you want to read it you have to come to the event!) Here is the photo on it. Need to get my hair cut!

Postcard time.

Just a few days away from ARThouse Open Studios now, time to send out some of the lovely postcard invitations that I had printed.
