Threadleaf Maple Brooch...

Finally finished the three big brooches I had been working on yesterday - and quickly took some photos before I mailed them off to the gallery. 

So, of course you need three views of this one...of course you do. 

(It has nothing, whatsoever, to do with that fact my decision making ability is almost non-existent...which has nothing, whatsoever, to do with how tired I am.) ;)

...thanks so much for all your lovely comments while I was working on these! Getting all the great feedback was very encouraging! I'll show the other two over the coming days...

Sawing for many an hour here again working on all the HW orders - won't be long now till dispatch!! {thank you again for all your orders - I am still getting emails about ordering them, so just for clarity, Budding and Bloom are SOLD OUT - there are still some Froth ones left}...

...and for people who have enjoyed watching along with this project, you might be happy to know I have another one planned for the month of August {to celebrate my birthday month} which will culminate in a special limited edition item available only on the 25th!! Details will be revealed come August! ;)

**A wee link for today - my friend Lauren, who I went to art school with, has started up a new jewellery site called Sparkle Candy - so congrats to her on the launch!! :)

Right, back to the bench with me! A few more hours ahead before dinner, and then calling it a night...

More soon,

xo

P.S. Could my customer Valerie F please get in touch with me if you read this? I have been trying to contact you for some weeks but I fear your spam folder has been intervening...thanks so much...
