Yes...that's my hair. Fuzzy. And it has been raining on and off for a few days now.
Here is a picture of what it looks like outside my front door today
We have several of these pink plants out the front of my studio and the front of the lounge. They look awesome on a day like this with their bright leaves and raindrops decorating them.
Summer and I took the 4 hour round trip to visit my Mum yesterday and the weather was just as soggy. The drive there wasn't so bad...but the drive back home was terrible.
We enjoyed lunch at a local venue and it was very yummy. Then we trekked over to my favourite store 'Giddy & Grace'. I almost always come away with less money in my bank than when I arrive. And this time was no different. I bought myself some gorgeous Owl wrapping paper and this:
It's really heavy - it's made from stone. But I love Owls and knew it was coming home with me the moment I touched it. I also purchased a lovely white ceramic one from a fellow Etsian in Melbourne. I have used it as a prop for my Etsy shop too... Iove it. It's so cute and detailed.
My mother bought me these little bird eggs as a gift ♥
Now I just need to find something to display them in :)
I finally got my new dining chairs. Hubby was so helpful in taking the nearly 5 hour round trip picking them up in his new truck. Now we are back to needing a new dining table as the chairs really don't work with it :(
Below is what I am working on:
I have just oxidized those 2 pieces and hopefully will finish them off this afternoon. The metal clay pieces will have to wait another day or so to be fired as it's so damp I have to ensure they're properly dried out.
This past week(ish) I've been on a roll with my muse. It has been a while since I've had this amount of pieces on the go - just finished these 2 below on Monday as well
Both are Ocean Jasper and I love these stones ♥ You can see the White Owl I bought too ♥
Summer is on 2 weeks school holidays now. It's going to be boring for her at times, but it can't be helped. When it's raining, indoor activities are it. I might be able to take the trip up to my Mum's again next week. It's such a hike, but it gives us something to do and gets Summer out of the house to visit her grandies :)
Okay I've rambled on long enough now. Might make myself a nice hot cup'a'soup!
Em ♥

Those ocean jaspers are pretty! And what you're working on (rings?) with the bird cutout and the square one next to it look really cool! Can't wait to see what it turns into :)
Oh! and I meant to say that those eggs are gorgeous! What a great gift.
Thanks DJ! Yes the bird and square are going to be rings :)
