You're on my mind....

You're on my mind
When I heard I was probably too numb to cry
The time was passing and I knew any minute we were gonna get that call because we knew you were gonna die
Then the call came  -  the inevitable moment had come....

Time is passing and with the passage of time I'm reflecting. When you were still here I wanted to make our time together a happy one for you, for me and for everyone else present. In my reflection I can laugh and I can cry, tears of happiness and tears of grief. But today everytime someone makes a Create For The Cure bracelet I'm reminded of your visit and the great time we had together. I'm also reminded of our hope for a cure for cancer one day. R.I.P. Sybs.

I made this bracelet for my aunt when she visited in 2011

Create For The Cure - bracelet. I designed this bracelet with my Auntie Sybil in mind and to honour all other women who were affected in someway or the other by breast cancer.

Thank you Dwyn for your excellent photography as always.

Last Week's Class @ Beadfx Inc.

Last week Tuesday I had the pleasure of teaching five lovely ladies the ancient art of pearl knotting http://beadfx.com/classes/class_show.php?class_id=66. They ( with the exception of one lady) all made double strand pearl knotted bracelets. Donna, on the other hand, made a necklace. Thank you ladies for sharing in the Beady Arts experience.

As usual I'll let the pictures do the talking - enjoy!!!!

Ivory & Sticks

Oh I just love these two together – I can visualize myself stepping out with this bracelet and a simple pair of earrings (that I’m in the process of designing). Where am I going?

Etching with Cindy Goldrick @ Beadfx

Yesterday I took an Etching class @ Beadfx with Cindy Goldrick and she prepared the print on the copper and the rest was mine to complete. My keys are now happier. I'm gonna add some beads to this of course by the end of the day.

This is my first etched piece - I drew my signature palm tree on a sun of course and I'm really pleased with the end result. I'm yet to decide what this is going to be.

Etched pieced that's going to be turned into a cuff.

I just love that bamboo stamp.

Fish ! Fish ! All kinda fish - this maybe made into a pendant.
