Inspired by a post on Red Bird Jewellery's blog  recently I took my camera out into the garden (who am I kidding, it's a yard, not a blade of grass in sight!) yesterday and took some quick close-up photos of a beautiful orange Gazania. I was really surprised with the results as I use a normal point and shoot Canon digital. Just think what you could do with a super-dooper bells and and whistles type affair! Introducing Gordon the Gazania I love the contrast of the vivid orange and the greeny-grey at the base of the petals

I finally finished sorting out my silver box recently. It's full of Sterling Silver findings that I used a lot when I first started making jewellery but as the style of jewellery I make has changed a lot of it just wasn't being used anymore. So rather than the findings just sitting there I thought I'd set them free! I've listed them in my Folksy shop - all at very good prices! 2mm Sterling Silver round beads 3mm Sterling Silver round beads 4mm Sterling Silver crimp covers 3mm Sterling Silver crimp covers
