The first picture is a sneak peak of a necklace I've been commissioned to make for Jacky. I can't show it all until she receives it, it's somewhere in transit at present. Jackie loves horses so I've tried to subtly include them in the piece. This is a very old chandelier crystal with an image of a horse and her foal hidden behind and encased with silver solder. You have to look into the crystal to see the image.
The other photos are from todays altered book workshop. It was a glorious day, warm but not too hot, we had lunch outside, drank champagne to celebrate a birthday and blogging event and created lots of art as you can see

Looks like another fabulous class Ro.... I wish I had been able to make that one. I found a wonderful set of books that I intend to alter...will make that a project for 2009 to do at least one of them (I have to use my pomegranate serviette !!!). Lovely to see those familiar faces again too from last class.
My necklace looks BEAUTIFUL...it arrived in today mail and I am absolutely thrilled with it. Have been wearing it all day. Love the little jingly noise it makes when you wear it. THANK YOU.
Wow. That was quick! Thanks for a great day Ro - I really enjoyed being in your space and sharing your wisdom.

Ro, sounds like you are at work - can't imagine adding your day job to all you do! - class looks like it was really fun! - so many different takes on a theme!
I love it that all the pages are beautiful in a different way. And wow you are busy. Love the necklace you are making.
Keep pedaling; things are sure to slow down eventually. That was how my summer went too; glad winter finally came. xo

Ro, I love looking into your workshops. Thanks so much for sharing. If you didn't live on the other side of the world from me I would delight in attending one! As it is, I will just take inspiration from your posts. The jewelry piece looks interesting. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
What a tease you are, to only show a bit of that fabulous looking necklace! It looks like your workshop was a lot of fun too.
