...painting orders for pendants and beads, beading, singing, and generally enjoying life. So I'm mostly reading the group and reading and responding to all my emails.
On an OT note (no pun intended!), I'm looking forward to a chorus retreat in a couple of weeks. I'm making some nice friends. I've offered to make a piece of jewelry for the forthcoming fundraiser. Good promotion.
On a flattering note, a customer that I helped in the fabric shop the other day phoned me yesterday and asked me to do the embellishment on the hem of the dress she's having made. . When she called, I invited her for lunch and offered to decorate the dress for fun. I like her a lot and since trimming dresses is not my usual field, prefer to do it as a favour for a friend. She's coming over on April 1. She already bought some narrow black feather boa and I'm thinking torn tulle and a scattering of beads as well.
I'm trying something new with my painting; a Peace Rose cut out, not painted on a heart or any other shape. I'm able to to cut my own shapes now and it's given me a lot of creative freedom. Also painting a new kitten design. Pics very soon.
I ran out of amethyst beads so haven't yet finished my free form peyote cuff. I'll get some more on the weekend and hopefully finish it off.
I have more ideas then time at the moment... LOL!! Moving to NZ seems to have given me new enthusiam and inspiration.
