there had been lots of rain
trying out posting a mosaic instead of individual photos (muratti & glenelg will probably get their own posts shortly). Rather pleased with my first effort, although I hope to improve.
Inspired by Alice & Kathryn :)

christmas treats...
This year we have made chrusti for a special christmas treat...
Chrusti are a Polish 'biscuit' - sweet pastry, rolled thin, twisted, deep-fried & then covered in icing sugar.
They are very light & easy to eat (possibly not such a good thing ;) & these are coming to adelaide with us - part of Babcia's christmas present.

all wrapped up...
spent the afternoon wrapping christmas presents...
Do you like the little gift tags I made? My stickers weren't sticking, so I needed an alternative. I'm quite pleased with the result.
sadly those chocolates are for presents - I didn't get to eat any

hair today, gone tomorrow...
...ah, sorry for the lame title, it's all I could think of 0_o
So, anyway, last week I got my hair cut:
I've had it this short before, but not for ages - I think the last time was 2007. Every now & then I just get sick of my long hair & get it cut.
Before:
After:
I'm rather pleased with the result & getting used to washing short hair again - it's always so weird the first time :)

buttoned-up...
This piece was supposed to be a copper button...but instead evolved into a brooch (it's a gift for someone special, but I'm not sure if she reads this blog, so I won't say any more).
I still plan to make some buttons - I think a handmade button would be a wonderful finishing touch to a jacket, vest or bag.
this last shot includes a sort-of-peak at some of the other pieces from this batch of copper. The rest of the pieces were only fired yesterday & are currently getting nice & shiny in the tumbler....pictures to come :)

some work-in-progress...
just some ArtClay Copper pieces I am currently working on (& my carving tools)...
they are all sanded, carved, filled & ready for firing...
please excuse the grainy photos, the light in the kitchen isn't the best for photo taking :)
