so much to do, so little time...

Wow, I can't believe its over a month since my last post. I have been so busy, I just haven't had time. Let's see, two of the kids have had school residentials, the easter holidays have happened, I have run a kids crafting workshop with a friend (took a lot of organising, but more on that shortly), and I have started working with a totally new (to me) medium for jewellery.

So, first things first, the crafting workshop. I teamed up with my good friend Fiona Jones, of Sunago Unique Creations which is also based in Cheltenham, to run a holiday crafting workshop for local children. The Fairview pub on Hewlett Road, generously gave us a lovely room in which to hold the workshop, and it went well. It will be repeated in the future.

Next, I have been working with a new (to me) medium called dip-it fantasy film which is a type of resin paint. it dries into a lovely film in a wire frame. Her are some of the projects I have been working on.

I will be working a lot more with this lovely medium but have only had it a week so far, so haven't had much chance to play.

And finally, I have been asked by a friend to run a stall at a charity fundraiser in my local area tomorrow (26th april), to raise funds for 'Harlee's Wings' a charity dedicated to the memory of a very special little boy who was born (and sadly passed away) this January from a congenital heart defect. 
His parents have set up the charity to raise awareness and funds for sufferers of this defect, and their parents. I have made a prize for the raffle they are running, and here it is.

This is Harlee's pendant. 
Made with a 14x10mm Almandine Garnet cab with gold and silver plated wires in 1mm, 0.6mm and 0.4mm.

So, this is what has been happening for me, I do hope you enjoy reading my posts, and I wont leave it so long before the next one this time. TTFN.........
