Out with the old and in with the new

I have had a round up of old stock...here it is collaged together...


these are reduced to clear on my facebook page, and I can't wait till they have gone because I know that new inspiration will come and the creative juices will flow...



This Brooch recently found a forever home...



Its 10.10pm here in the Southern Hemisphere, so I have just popped in to do a goodnight post...see you all soon...

Today my goat began her own blog

Now for something completely different

My goat, Ra...began her own blog today...I told her it was a waste of time, but she's determined to get some exposure, she's such an attention seeker.
Her blog is called blackballgotyagoat, and you can find it right here on blogspot...
but it's not for sheep...she may get political...

Bead Sorting, Generally getting ready for Spring Summer Season

I have spent the last week sorting my beads...what a job...how does it get like this...If you are creative you will understand how and how easy this can happen...

Another day and I should have it under control...

If you have been following me you will know that I am rather hopeless with my camera and accessories... so the latest update on that situation is that i now have the camera, batteries and charger all in one place...batteries are charged, some new photos taken, but woe...no cord to connect to the computer to up load photos...i mean seriously how can this be...so soon i promise...

In the meantime, here are some images taken by the lovely Manda Paton who has been helping with this ongoing reoccuring dilema re: camera

Blackball has been a ghost town today

Wow...the visitors to my shop have been pretty much non existent today, i had 4 people through the door...but am ever grateful, better than none...

Most of my day has been spent getting my garden ready for spring/summer planting down here in the southern hemisphere...


Once there is some growth I will share some photos of the garden, but right now it is all a bit barren, although there are a number of bulbs flowering, and lots of fresh new foliage coming through...

Have a nice evening...Peace Love and Joy to all...

Less is more...ethical jewelry

 Handmade with Love this necklace is a little "less is more", it is created from preloved buttons and ethically sourced copper wire, [from the internal organs of a preloved washing machine]. 
 
The wire has a shelac coating that ensures it doesn't discolour skin...Simple in design but eyecatching...

for those who love the simplicity of it and the handmade unique look

You can find me on facebook and google+

I hope you are enjoying viewing my creations...
I am doing my best to keep coming back to this blog, you can probably tell writing is not my first skill...

This view is looking through my charm thread window adornments in my retail shop in #blackballnz 

I love the way the colours have been captured, colour is big in my life and I like to call myself "A self proclaimed creative colourist"

It is spring here in #newzealand...and we are enjoying lovely fresh weather with beautiful bulbs and flowers popping up in our gardens...

My jewelry and assembled items are all #handmade #ooak made by myself...I donot have any wee elves assisting me although I wouldnt turn them away if they were keen.

Enjoy
Love & Light






This brooch is really reflective of our lovely spring weather here in the southern hemisphere.
