No Jempsons :-(

Today I should of been at Jempsons in Peasmarsh near Rye and again next Wednesday 8th December. Sadly due to circumstances beyond the organisers control yesterday evening the whole thing had to be cancelled. I do hope you are no disappointed if you made the journey to see me as I know some people were going to.

I am working away but it is mostly commission work which I don't want to post on here in case the wring person sees this before Christmas! So here are a coupe of pairs of earrings I have made which are now up on my website. I am adding more bits all week to the website.

This coming weekend, 4th & 5th December I shall be at Bentley Wildfowl so maybe I will see you there. Santa will be there too!

Keep warm meanwhile ;-)

A Few Bits of News

Good news!

My Radiance pendant that I entered into the Ya Meana Patina Challenge came third!! So thank you if you went to the Metal Clay Today site and voted (even if you didn't vote for me). These competitions would be nothing without everyone voting :-)

I have been busy on some commissions recently and have quite a bit of work in progress. I have managed to finish a few rings. These are waiting to be polished and patinated...

and this one is finished. I made this a couple of weeks ago while teaching and we were thinking of calling it Farewell Paul (the octopus!) or something along those lines.

I hadn't planned for it to be octopus like but once finished it just had that look!!

I have been updating my website and am gradually adding new work to it. I like to photograph in the daylight and the weather has been so bad this week that I have not managed to get as much on as I would like to though. There is more to come.

This weekend I am at Michelham Priory at the Christmas Craft and Gift Fair. I am with the East Sussex Guild of Craftworkers and we are in the Elizabethan Barn. The forecast is not too good but that does not normally deter people from coming out to this fair. It is in a lovely setting and there are some great stands so do come along.
