Its the start of the weekand I am already behind in my quest to contact one gallery/outlet a day to show my new resin rocks range. Not a good start but I will make up for it, I missed two days last week, other things took over.
Last night my youngest daughter had a very high temperature and hallucinated so we all had a bad night. She seems better today but she will probably stay at home today to recover.
I have 2 job applications to fill in so hopefully I will get those done and sent off.
The ring in the picture is another resin one, I used opaque red and dripped blue in to it. I love mxing the colour but I really need to keep a record of what colours I am mixing and how much I am putting i so I can achieve it again! Not my strong point......
Hopefully tomorrow I can report I got my job list for today done ............

Might have shown the ring before but I just love it so here it is again .......... and a new pendant which I also love, biased? yes but I don't always love everything I make. I don't like doing hearts or flowers but I get asked for them all the time as they sell well.

Maybe I need to be more commercial especially if I want to make any money. I need to look at 2 separate sections really, one for outlandish pieces and one for middle of the road pieces ......... there is definitely a market for both but they need to be approached differently.

Anyway, have spent a lot of today power washing the back patio of our house ..... now there's a very satisfying job and it looks great!

Bought these rings from Lucas Jack, sterling silver, faceted glass in great colours .... peridot, amethyst, baltic and black .... they look great, chunky but no too big, have put them on my website.

Had a good week, got lots done, Tom's birthday tomorrow so we are going to the Inn at Wray for dinner tonight and hopefully off for a walk/picnic tomorrow if the weather is good ...............

Sterling silver wrap ring ...... textured and wraped around 3 times .... one of my first ever commissions .... I have resurrected it and put it back on my website.

Garden is full of sheep again .... most of the plants have been eaten now but think we have worked out where they are coming through ....

At home working all day ..... on call for First Responders last night, today, tonight and tomorrow night! Lots of gaps in the rota, definitely need more volunteers.

New BIG ring ..... sterling silver ..... this one is oxidised but doesn't have to be ......... its on the website www.thejewelleryroom.co.uk

In the process of making more new designs ..... I am designing and making some pendants which I wil put on bead necklaces rather than chains ....... just learning the intricacies of beading at the moment!

Have signed up to do The Art Market in the Westmoreland Shopping Centre in Kendal this July ..... a new one but hopefully a good place and time ..............
