A customer of mine asked if I'd make some beads in red, black and yellow. She was interested in purchasing these for and on behalf of a group of Aboriginal women that will be learning how to make their own jewellery.
Red, black and yellow, colours of the Aboriginal flag. Red representing the earth, black for the people and yellow, representing the sun.
With the use of enamel, I also was able to mimic ochre often used in ceremonial gatherings.
I think I've done ok!

Hello stranger!
I'm baaaaack!
Whoa! I've been so lazy these holidays but I'm ready now to start the new year with a bang!
I've been at the torch for the last couple of days and should have some new auctions to list by early next week plus my poor, neglected webstore should have a few new items to showcase as well.
I should mention though, besides spending umpteen hours playing srabble on Facebook, swimming, tanning and drinking loads of beer, I did play a little bit more with my silver colours, experimenting with the flame and trying to get the most out of this glass. I'm a happy chappy!
Anyhow, I thought I'd add this picture of Max, fast asleep and being cuddled by his favourite teddy called Maxine. Cute hey!
