Very dainty Kim =)
Maybe everyones busy replenishing stock from christmas? I know I've been kept away from the bench with website admin etc, all the boring stuff. There's also the winter virus going around, I'm sure everyone will be back soon =)

Let's hope that some others will turn up soon, there's still a week to go.

Here's my entry. I've been experimenting with different coloured powder and liquid enamels and made this rather eclectic bracelet: sterling silver chain with enamelled copper hearts. The hearts are all sky blue on one side and have different colours on the other.

Carving wooden lovespoons is an old Welsh tradition allowing a young man to show his interest in a young lady! They usually involve hearts and interwoven lines representing lives joined.

So here is my entry, a 9ct lovespoon pendant (approx 35mm).

I made it! My take on the rose theme is rather more stylised than James's. The design is adapted from a printer's ornament. It was quite a challenge for my small skills, but I learned a lot making it and I'm pretty pleased with the result. Sterling silver with opaque ruby briolette.

that is stunning! love it
