End to the Hiatus 2

The other thing I used my annual leave day for was to make a set of cufflinks for a friend. Made of sterling silver with findings that I bought in Melbourne a few years ago and had never used - and I taught myself to make rivets, but I think that I can improve on my first efforts. The inspiration for these cufflinks was an old tape deck.

Hiatus is Over

After quite a long break of not being particularly productive, I've been busy out in the garage. One rainy day of annual leave, trapped by rising puddle levels I was working on a series of rings for my friend's husband to give her for her looming 40th birthday.Citrines are known as the stone of the mind with beliefs that a citrine held to the forehead will increase psychic powers, they are also known for their healing properties, helping digestive and endocrine systems as well as protecting from negative energies and providing clarity of thought. What a present!

The two larger stones are Golden Citrines and the smaller one is a citrine that I bought in Denmark a couple of years ago.
