Wishing you and your loved ones the best for Christmas. Thank you for your support over 2015, and wishing you the best of creativity and handmade for 2016.
Sweet Maxy, one of our main coon twin cats (furr kids) after whom this blog and the jewellery shops are named has been very ill over the last few days. We are on an emotional rollercoaster, he is only a baby at 4 years, and has just pulled through major kidney surgery this afternoon. We are hoping and praying that he survives the ordeal. If you can say a prayer or send some healing karma our way for Max that would be wonderful. Thanks, Vicki and Sasha (and Kevin, my darling husband)
I never tire of making necklaces. Sometimes one can take months or even years - I hand make the beads, leave them aside for while, play with layouts and pairings, set them aside and forget about them, rediscover them, rearrange them and finally finish and photograph them. Here are some recent favourites. The first pairs my beads with 3 Samunnat-made large features. Such a happy necklace. . This one has been a long time coming - I made the beads about 8 years ago when I weas learning clay techniques with translucent clay - not sure I could ever re-cerate these beads. I love the terracotta pairing. I hope to post a bit more frequently again and slow down for some creative time......
Hi there, sorry it has been so long between posts. I've been making only small amounts of jewellery of late, and have been trialling my new light tent to take photos, with mixed results - it can get very dark at our place during winter so I finally gave in. The egg bead featured below is by the lovely Vero of Narrative - what a talented artist she is. Egg Pendant On a personal note, the loss of Main Coon Max cat three months ago left me with not a lot to say for a while blog wise- he might have "only been a cat" as non pet people say, but to my husband Kevin and I, he was a vital part of our lives, and we were not prepared to say goodbye after 4 short years. Sasha, Max's sister, still looks for him every day which is somewhat heart breaking. This all has resulted in a fairly low key frame of mind as we move through our grieving time - time heals, as they say, and we are slowly mending thanks to the love of friends, family and the sweet nature of Sasha.
Merry Christmas to you too! And thank you for your comments on my blog over the year :D
