I had a very quick play this afternoon with Adobe Capture. This was a photo of the clock tower in Rugby marketplace, and this clever app turned it into a line drawing. There's potential here...

Solid sterling silver poppy seed heads, cast for me from a real original I found. I've just desprued and cleaned them up. Now what will they become? Usually they've been variations on a pendant, but I've had a few earring requests and I might feel some of those coming on...

Process shots! Today was going to be studio all day, but I took up an invitation to go for a run, followed by a coffee and (very) toasted teacake, and an on-the-way-home trip to my favourite charity shop for useful curiosities (which may have led to some exciting possibilities 🤫). I did squeeze in a little bench time before the school run, and took photos. This is the beginning of making an acorn pendant stalk, only I didn't get to the last bit where I loop over the end and solder the joins! The last photo is a trial piece for a different acorn pendant bail - the stem filed away on each side so that when the two halves are soldered together it will be round.

Inspiration in the swimming pool car park. I parked so close to this that I had to squeeeeeze past it. I know that it is called spindle, thanks to @chloebartist_nature having posted the printing she's done with it! Thanks Chloe!

Packaging. I don't often post things since I put my Etsy shop temporarily on holiday about 18 months ago 🤭. But here's one that went off today. A box made of recycled Kraft card and paper, a business card printed on recycled card, wrapped in a sheet of recycled Kraft card, stapled closed and posted. It's not perfect (the box comes with wadding made of plastic stuff) but it's trying!

I can't throw away lollipop sticks and now the leisure centre has beautiful bamboo stirrers. ♥️ 4yo didn't need to help himself to a stirrer but now that he has it will have a 2nd life as jewellery - somehow! So now I am collecting used: - metal bottle caps - interesting glass bottles - prosecco/champagne cages & metal cork caps - wood offcuts - lolly sticks - bamboo stirrers (at least) I've not made any of these things into anything yet, but plans are forming & with the stirrers I think I'll keep it simple.
