flying jelly fish...



Well I can't believe it is Friday again and over half way through February already!!!

Here is another girl I finished yesterday... It is Art Deco weekend here again in Napier where the whole town goes mad dressing up and showing off their vintage cars, it is madness (I love it)!   So instead of her swimming cap she has her flying hat on, and of course a string of pearls.

When I went to the London Aquarium I was fascinated with the jelly fish, they were so beautiful and serene in their own little world, they were almost hypnotising.  So I have bought them into my world (although mine are actually flying jelly fish). 

I am about to do some more of these latest girls into art pendants this weekend, I cut them out last night and if I must say so myself, they are looking good...

hot and sunny... with a cool sea breeze

We had a wee holiday at Waimarama Beach this weekend... was so lovely to get away, and the weather was perfect, hot and sunny with a nice cool sea breeze. It was my friends husbands 40th birthday and they hired out this wonderful bach for the weekend. Was hard leaving Sunday afternoon especially knowing I was coming home to a messy house (we left straight after work on Friday and I turned a blind eye to the mess around me as I was getting ready).

On the art front, well I haven't done anything much for the last 4 - 5 days... But I have had a few calls from galleries saying they want more, so I will be getting back into it tonight (Just when I thought I was on top of everything). I also want to get some of the pendants ready by Thursday, I thought I would start with maybe 3 different designs just to see how they go. I will send them to two galleries and add a few to my etsy shop as well. I am a little nervous about doing this, I do worry about sending new things out into the world. Will people like them, or in the pendants case, will they fall apart etc...

Some of the work I sent out last month has been sold already so that is exciting, they were a little bit new, as in the materials used, so I was a tad nervous of the response. It is a relief that people seem to think they are ok. One piece got sold to decorate the walls of a shoe shop and the owner said people are more interested in the art work on the wall then they are in the shoes... funny.
