Open Studio Morning!

Rise and shine, its 5am.  Still have lots of bits and pieces to put together.  There are always a bunch of things I cant get to and I am starting to see that it is endemic to this type of event. .. just the sense of it being your one big chance to put your best foot forward.   That special someone may just walk in and love all of your work! If you don't have every last thing done you are letting yourself down......great feeling......

Anyhow, we had a great time chatting while setting up. Ruchis husband, Mike P, came to help and our friend Hoay.  My husband stayed with my sick son at home so I could get stuff done. We drank a little wine and had a chance to visit while we worked.  We are all so busy it was nice to have to be in the same place for a little while with no children.  

The shop looks beautiful. Moss seems to be a theme we have both gravitated to this year without prior conference.   Our own spin on the woodland creatures and toadstools I suppose.

Well fingers crossed! And wish me luck.

Ready for Christmas!

New Work. You may notice that I have started using copper in my work. I started working with this material because I wanted to play around with my saw and my new torch. The price of silver is so high I felt too nervous to really experiment too much. Using copper has allowed me to play around and try new things. I am pleased with the results as I really like the contrast and using less chemicals to achieve it.
