Some tables and urns.










This little chicky is one of my favourites. I do love him. He sits next to my front door to greet visitors. He is a happy chappy.














So here are some of the things I've made out of recycled goodies. I'm sure I have some photos of tables. I'll try to find them. The fish are done on the inside of a bird bath. That sold before I'd barely unloaded it at a spring fair I was invited to attend.
Here is a photo of the type of work I have been doing for the last few (4-5) years. It's mosaic made from old plates cups mirrors brooches tiles in fact anything I can find. For years my garage has been full of junk. Mostly roadside finds but also hand-me rounds.
I have had a 'thing' with hearts for a while. It grows from my wanting to live with love in all areas of my life. I'm trying to practise love in my interactions with everyone I come across. Not so easy as I work in a homeless shelter in the city and regularly get told to "get f@#%ked" on a daily basis!!
Anyway, this type of mosaic satisfies my need to recycle as well as turning often ugly old china into something a bit more beautiful. (Well I think so anyway!!) I have made tables, standard lamps, wall plaques, pots as well as photo frames and anything else I can get my hands on...
I have lots of other mosaic photos that I might upload too.

Sunday, sunday

It's after 8 on sunday night and I have only one day of my holidays left.

Today I finished two pieces of silver work that have been waiting patiently on my bench. I wore them out tonight and someone across the room noticed them and commented. Often thats all I need to kick start a new run on my creativity. I have two paintings that I started about a week ago that I might do some more work on tonight.

My daughter is away for the night and the dog is asleep. Perfect night for some doodling.

I might try to upload some photos. This is all so new and I really lack patience in learning new computer skills, give me a new craft skill and I'm all over it but this...........?

Day One Entry One

This makes me feel important like people might actually be interested in what I have to say. You never know it may get interesting. I suppose what I want to do is put it out there about me. Who I am and what I think about and you never know........ If you find it interesting good luck to you.

This is kind of like making my small part of history, 21st century publishing. I just hope I have enough to say so that it doesn't bore me to tears or anyone who stumbles over it.

Lets see where it goes.............
