After fixing my studio roof after the storm and winds last night, I was able to have a little time in the studio to myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a new large pendant with Picasso Jasper and a random Russian wedding ring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then managed to cut some Cab slabs for use </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
later on .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all a productive afternoon.</div>

If you are wondering why I am making so many pendants its because I need to send them for hallmarking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It works out better to send a large batch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the Moonstone and crazy lace agate pendant best.</div>

I managed to get in the studio last night and had a bit of a play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think I might have been hammering a bit to load but I enjoyed myself, making a simple hammered wrap around ring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once that was finished I then made an bangle.</div>

Yesterday was such a grotty day here in Chichester, it just rained all day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to have a little play with my new Smiths little torch in the studio, it really works like a dream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However what I produced wasn't a lot in terms of Jewellery but I recycled my scarp into usable sheet and wire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also had a bit of fun with the annealing process, which you can see from the photos.</div>

<br />
Firstly I have been certified by Lynne Glazzard Jewellery and Enamels as a Mokume gane instructor in metal clay. This technique is truly beautiful. Thank you Lynne for your wonderful instruction.<br />
<br />
Then keith and I had a wonderful cruise around Italy, which was so good that we will be doing that again.<br />
<br />
I invited Tilly Wilkinson to teach at my studio hear in Chichester, she taught us how to use enamels on copper and then to make a unique settings for the pieces, this re-kindled my love of colour with enamels.<br />
<br />
Then is was another visit up to Lynne's for a short holiday, on the back end of that a course in stained glass painting with Alan, this was totally out of my comfort zone and I enjoyed the technique very much.<br />
<br />
Lastly but not least was a 5 day course and my friends in Cornwall at CSACJ, this was a class with the very talented Goldsmith from the USA Micheal David Strulin. All I can say is I learnt loads it was a fantastic end to a very busy year.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos of just some of the things I got up to this year. I can honestly say I have enjoyed every bit of it.<br />

This is the second enamelled fish which I am so much happier with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The start was a drawing, with colour so I had an idea of what enamel colours to use. I had done lots of colour test when I first started it was just a matter of matching the enamels to the pencils</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I made it into the piece of fine silver.<br />
<br />

The little colour test samples are now stuck in my ever growing enamel test and samples book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two photos are the results of my colour test and I got a really </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nice yellow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like this enamelling malarky but who knew photographing them was so hard!!!<br />
The earrings are fine silver and the ring top is fine silver with a sterling silver ring shank</div>

I've been doing some more enamel test on copper just to see what colours I get.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its interesting how the copper can change the colour so much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the test pieces.</div>
