Go away autumn....

Everyone seems to be taking great delight on the fact autumn has arrived in the northern hemisphere .... For me it signals the beginning of 6 months of cold and darkness. While I can appreciate those cold crisp blue skied days we have in the UK I don't like the dark.i feel claustrophobic and hemmed in by it and I long for sunshine and warmth...good job we will be emigrating in a few years to
The Southern Hemisphere where I grew up! So on a brighter note here is
my latest make!!
 
Using dyed sari cloth, peanut beads and a beautiful Bo Hulley focal it will brighten up my day in the coming months (though yesterday was rather a lovely warm day in the UK!)

This week I have mainly been experimenting with resin!!

This week I have made this necklace using diamond glaze. The recycled dyed sari material is from Smitten. The flowers are up cycled from an old watch. I also have dark pink and orange ones to play with!! 

I am hoping to get some time this weekend to make some more bits and pieces - the job gets in the way in the week!

Keeping busy

Last day today before the dreaded return to work .... I seriously do not know where the past 6 weeks have gone ... I received my jewels for the blog hop challenge but will share those in a later post! Here are some of my most recent creations.. 
As you can see I am developing my love of resin and have a feeling this may be something I do more of! I have lots of ideas!!!hopefully all those charms I have will be useful!
