Oh I love these - I also have a bit of a thing for Foxes and have made foxy pieces in the past. I was sat outside having a late cup of tea last night and could hear one calling.

Really striking Dennis. Whoever is getting that is very lucky indeed.

Thank you everyone, such a great help. Have not been able to see if I can fit them again on account of the brushes going walk about! They were left in the box as thought they might have to go back,...
Thanks Caroline, I did try as obviously is the same with calico mops but they have leather centre and is easy, maybe I was just a little too tentative because I was worried because it was a metal...
Ooh these are so lovely, I do love all your pieces, but usually have a favourite in the little collection you post pictures of and it's the ring - it's just stunning. Really love the texturing - I...
What an amazing story Dennis. Must have been quite a surreal moment for you, but a rather special one.

These are all so pretty but just love those little nuggets, they are gorgeous :)
Hi,
I recently posted a piece I was having a little trouble getting into nooks and crannies of and was advised, by Caroline and think someone else (sorry can't remember who) to use a particular...
Thank you for sharing, Dennis. You must have very steady hands, not only for making the holes and getting them just right but also for getting the glue in on the end of a saw blade and applying it...
These look gorgeous. It looks elegant and simple but expect it is anything but simple to do. I can imagine me trying to do that would be like something out of a Laurel and Hardy sketch, with...
That's one clown I can't imagine anyone being scared of, it's so sweet, a thing of beauty. I love the little nose, and the sparkles. They must have been very fiddly - how do you set them?
Karen
Thank you, I thought I had one of those, but having ordered one, I realised it must have been a soft cotton mop as these are really dinky and the final polish mop I had was much larger. Will try...
Thanks, will get one of those too, can give it a go for a final polish.
Thanks very much.
Karen
Ah thank you Caroline, that's a great help. Sure that would have made things easier. Need to do an order so will add that to the list. Thanks. Karen
Hi,
Have just finished this piece and really struggled with polishing it. Unusually I think the photo despite the magnification, seems to making it look better than it actually is, it's not a...
Like you say, It does have a Gothic touch to it and I particularly like the 'over-cooked' pendant. I think I slightly prefer the edgy pieces, but is hard to choose as they are all so lovely.
This is just stunning. Definitely a two for one design, I can see both bird and leaf. The colours are just beautiful. Sounds like it was a very time consuming piece to make, but so worth the...
This is gorgeous Dennis, I think it is my favourite of your acrylic pieces. I love the combination of the silver and acrylic together and the silver texture works perfectly with it and of course...
Even if you are trying to get away from it, you do pretty very well, these are all beautiful. Karen
These are beautiful Dennis, I particularly like the necklace. I really love the shape/design and the beautiful catch, also I'm another fan of blue and this such a lovely colour.
Thanks so much Dennis, he's not too bad, a final polish get rid of one line I can see and I'll be happy with him.
Thank you, that's really lovely of you. I mostly work from photos either I...
Thanks so much everyone that offered advice. He is finished, well I think having just done a zoom in he could do with a little more polishing but pretty much finished. I learnt some time ago that...
Thank you Alastair, I have managed to fix it already, but really appreciate the helpful tips. I did opt for the first option as wasn't sure how I would managed the other helpful suggestions already...
Thank you Dennis, have never used a burnisher that way before, it is a very small gap, it's on the left hand side between the copper and the silver in the picture - not sure if that is small enough...
Thank you - will have a think. Not ideal for someone making jewellery I know but have terribly shaky hands, will have a think to see if I might be able to fashion something to apply a little...
