My supposedly part time day job has been consuming way too much of my time and energy recently, to the detriment of my creativity. I’m now trying to redress the balance, starting with this brand new piece.

Finally got around to finishing these poppy flower post earrings. They were going to be my last new poppy design, but I’ve had another idea…

One moon-gazing hare torque soldered and oxidised. Next step is polishing, which is when the piece will really come to life #jewellery #making #AmMaking

Finally got some decent light today, so took the opportunity to take some photographs of recent designs

Tiny silver poppies now firmly soldered to bangles, and some initial cleaning up done. Now feeling it was worth the time and mild trauma (possibly). Next step is oxidising and polishing.

I’ve just spent the entire morning soldering six tiny silver poppies to two bangles, and now I feel like I need to lie down in a darkened room and consider my life choices.

Two new boards have arrived. Clapr on the left and Geo’d (Geode? Geod? Geoff? Not sure yet)the Neo Geo consoliser. Both mostly work, although I still have to do work on the sound in Geo’d. #retrogaming #electronics #AmMaking
