Flowers Galore!

Well it has come around again… Mothers Day that is.  I have been lucky enough to receive a gorgeous Jasmine plant from my daughter Lisa and we are being taken out to lunch by our other daughter Nicola.  All this after having had a few days alone as our foster daughter is on camp.  I am now sitting here watching a film, a take off of Uncle Buck with John Candy.  This one has a woman in the main role but otherwise is the same story.  Must confess I prefer the John Candy one.  Lovely end to the week!

I have had the pieces back from the casters so I will be able to make a new piece in the Ellipse range.  It is quite a complicated piece and was suffering from the amount of soldering involved so I decided to make it much easier on myself and get the components cast, less to go wrong (I have already attempted the piece many times and have wasted a lot of silver as well as time!)  I hope to complete the new piece this week and am quite excited about it… been a long time from concept and a few disasters inbetween.  I shall keep you updated on progress.

I took the opportunity to make up one of my tiaras and some earrings to match this week.  Always popular it is the Lilies and Pearls, so pretty.  I had made it with Swarovski Crystals for a change but it didn’t look as good – much better with the Freshwater Pearls.
