Here is one of the beads that i bought at the Perth bead fair on sunday. this is made by a lovely lampwork artist called Min Fidler. I just love the colours that in this, and i'm not a pink or red person, but i just love this, i had hand dyed silk ribbon that i bought from diane turton and these are just perfect together, I did buy some other lampwork beads from moogin (mindy macgregor) i will be hopefully getting round to be doing something with them soon, i also bought quite a few ceramic beads in bright colours, would loved to have bought loads more but i was being good. i will be putting this up for sale on my etsy site in the next few days.

Oceanic drifts
I know i said i would blog more so i thought i better get my finger out, Seeing as the weather is cold and horrible outside, i thought i would make some jewellery in summery colours, and here is the first piece. I have used chrysotine A + grade semi precious beads with aquamarines, and the lampwork bead in the centre is made by Clare Scott.
I also bought a pasta maker today, not to make pasta with but to roll out my new creations in fimo, i have an order of 120 keyrings, i will post photos as and when they are made.
I also treated myself to a new phone, i have the new blackberry storm 2 which looks fab. and i will use this to blog more (ha),
so glad it's nearly the weekend, we are going out with the kids on saturday for Robyns 10th birthday, off to the cinema to watch Avatar then for a chinese, can't wait.

I know i said i would blog more but! i just never have a minute these days, I have added this onto my flickr page today, finally finished, it has been on my work bench for weeks, so i thought i better get it finshed and photographed today. I have made more of my little flowers, using copper pipe, the centre flower is sterling silver, i have oxidised parts of the flowers then lightly polished parts, i will be adding this to my etsy site hopefully tomorrow, hope everyone had a lovely valentines day, and that your partners where good to you all?

Water lily necklace
I made this necklace back in December and i sent in the tutoral to the beads and beyond magazine, you can catch this in this months issue which is out next thursday 11th Febuary, on page 22, I have made the copper flower in the centre using copper pipe, the beads are from bijoux beads, one of my favourite online shops, and the gorgeous ribbon is from Diane Turton from sowZeredesigns, I'am really pleased with the comment from the Editor of the magazine (Michelle Powell) quote "I gauge my love for our projects, by how soon i grab my tools and want to give that particular technique or design a try, This time Eve Smith has inspired me to get some metal and saw away. I hope she gives this a try and lots more as well.

Abstract Twist
I have been playing with copper pipe again today, I have made this piece in the photo, i really need to get protectors for my finger tips, with all the sanding i will have to finger prints left.(ha) I have never left the house today as it's sooo cold outside, i have the heating on nearly 24/7 at the moment, really wish this snow would go away but! it is saying we are to get more on Monday and Tuesday. I have been adding some of my pieces to Etsy as well, so fingers crossed, still to get some fairs booked for this year so i better get moving. My diet is so so, i have done a few sit up well 100 today that is okay i suppose, but i did cheat and i have had 2 glasses of wine, start on Monday i promise. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
