such great things to see this month - will be a difficult thing to decide, I am sure.
I am entering this piece - it has yellow gold CZ and a 9ct yellow gold butterfly. I don't have much gold in stock and am reluctant to melt an old ring! So, the little bit I have I cut out some wings and snipped off a little wire. The Insect Hotel is a miniature of something I love in the garden; a Hibernaculum places for Ladybirds finding horizontal openings to sneak into, Butterflies accessing Long vertical ones (makes sense as they don't take their wings off when the go indoors ;) ) they offer solitary bees a place to investigate and create some small cells, and earwigs just love anywhere tunnelling and dark.
