Dewy

The mouse is still on the blink, so colour work has been postponed until such time as the replacement arrives.  In the meantime, here's a little FO from my morning activities:

I've been pushing myself a bit to regularly acquire new metalsmithing and fabrication skills.  It is sometimes all too easy to stay in the comfort zone of familiar and well-practiced techniques, especially when the work is well received, but new skills open up new creative possibilities and preclude stagnation.  (Not that I feel particularly stagnant, but one can't be too careful!  Plus it's fun.)  This pendant was inspired by one of my favorite photos from earlier this year:

Speaking of photos, I should mention that I will be developing a series of professionally printed notecards based on some of my nature photos.  A few readers have suggested it, and since I floated the idea in my application to the Christmas fair and was accepted, I guess I've got to get off the fence and get on with it!  I will put them up on the website as soon as they're ready.

That is spectacular. There IS magic in the dew. I'm so glad you're looking into the notecards. I believe it will be quite the entrepeneurial (sp?) move

You just keep blowing us away.

That's really nice. I predict you could do some customized work with that skill. People love to personalize things.
