some small joys

Tigers eye stone - cut and polished by me :) it worked out a nice shape, all done by eye :)

Another petrified wood cabochon, cut, shaped and polished by me!

This is petrified wood from Queensland Australia :)

My Mum has since asked for a thimble, we'll see!

The bottom one I did using ink and a finer brush, so I could get the detail a bit better. So much fun, bugs are cool :) 

I've been meaning to make myself a bag for a while - this is the little satchel one I ended up making! I didn't use a pattern, just estimated sizes, I quite like the little fabric inside :P

Paper cutting flower card for my Nan's birthday :)

A sterling silver petrified wood pendant, the grain on the back is just gorgeous! It's a nice hard stone (I got told in the store) so it's hard to scratch when you're setting it, which is helpful! 

Sterling silver with malachite 

Roller derby pendant for a friend, sterling silver and brass. 

A quaver ring I made, sterling silver set with an Onyx cabochon. I like wearing it, almost like carrying around a little secret with me!

Playing with bobbin lace, first time in three years! And it only took five attempts to figure out I had half the bobbins I needed :P
