SO I have decided to take the word and image of flowers and create things that reflect flowers. I have always been truly amazed at flowers... like how perfect are they.. the symetry is perfect, the colours are absolutely beautiful and then on top of it they smell - like roses are so perfect in smell - well i think. Maybe i am I am just a old sentimental! oh well.. I am just awestruck at flowers and when all is fruitless I just smell the roses and for that moment I am in heaven..anyway here are a couple of jewelry pieces created as a celebration of flowers.

RAW - creating 52 rings this year - The challenge i am undertaking is to create 1 ring a week.

I have decided to partake in the Ring a week challenge.

Oh and i made another lapis piece. A pendant for myself. I will make a few more lapis pieces and put into the shop.

As always my designs are very diverse .... one day i may focus hopefully......
