Happy Monday everyone.....I personally can't believe that there has actually been a weekend at all as I was working right through it, but I am assured that this is indeed a new week...any comments to the contrary people?? ;)
Anyway, I said I would show you a picture of the piece I was making based on the new drawings I did in France....here is the necklace {there are also earrings so far..} taken from the leaf shadows that I hastily shot {hence the iffy photo} before parceling up and racing to the post office. As I mentioned at the end of last week I was contacted very short notice about an opportunity to show some jewels in a very exciting place..........Kyoto, Japan!!!
There has recently been a new gallery for contemporary jewellery opened at the Kyoto National Museum and one of the project directors saw my work at the Glasgow Print Studio and asked me if I had some jewellery she could take over with her when she flies to Japan this week. Eeek *beam*........so! I got busy and got some work made {as I had no stock whatsoever apart from two big pieces} which I just sent out today {she is based in Edinburgh}..phew. I am so excited to be part of this project and hope it to be just the beginning of my adventures with Japan!
Well, after a LONG weekend, and an even longer Monday {??!!} I am going to depart having just shared that little jewel of a tale....I have a date with the sofa!
hugs, xox
