Thanks for the kind words Alex.

Blanch, thank you also. Apologies, I have no immediate plans for any jewellery tutorials - for a variety of reasons.

My next blog will be about my first forays into kiln firing my copper clay pieces with my new kiln and will be perhaps a little more informative. I struggled to find much useful information myself, so it's only fair that I publish some of what I've learnt, for others looking in the same way that I have been.

Love your jewelry. I can tell you take much time and effort to make sure your jewelry is perfectly finished. I make jewelry also and hope someday mine will turn out as beautiful as yours! I would appreciate it if you could post more about how you make some of your jewelry. Love, love, love it!!!

As a jewelry maker also, I love, love, love your jewelry. Would you ever consider putting up tutorials on how you make some of your jewelry.

There are some wonderful pieces here. Great photos too! I'm glad to hear that things are picking up a bit since the flooding.

Best wishes, Alex

Thanks Jenni – I know in the long run we’ll be happy with the results, but I’m just frustrated at how long it is all taking – I’m not good with upheaval and I certainly don’t like tradesmen in my house. We painted the top of the ‘downstairs’ stairs today and it’s already made a huge difference.

Thanks for the suggestion Claire – it doesn’t look like it will be suitable for my very old computer. But in fairness, after earlier frustrations with the new Blogger interface, it did actually work well for this post. But I appreciate the tip, thank you.

Such huge upheavals (not to mention costs) but I look forward to the day you blog about you amazing new ‘downstairs’! Love your work…
To make blogging easier and to avoid the dreaded new interface, try Windows Live Writer if you are on a PC. Someone who reads my blog told me about it so I try and pass it on to people who express frustration with blogger. You can put photos exactly where you want (side by side etc) and you don’t have to upload them to blogger! Just be sure you preview first, and you will see your post exactly how you laid it out in Live Writer!

Glad to hear that life is kind of getting back to normal after the flood and that you are able to fix the area and use it agin. It will be great when all fixed up even better than before!Sorry to hear there are additional areas to be fixed, but glad you have got new kiln and heartened to see you are making gorgeous jewelry again.
