Secret Santa - Photographic Evidence

Oh, I didn't realise that it was coloured wire either. What a perfect match and how very original.

[Sheltie]

Its wire/nylon or some such woven around silver. It has a real Western Isles feel about.

The jumper is a summer wrap made in 100% wild silk lace weight yarn. It still needs to be blocked but I thought the pin went so well with it that I dragged it out of the UFO box.

I am really glad that you like it.

The brooch is a penannular brooch and they have been used from the bronze age forward although the Saxons and Norse are particularly known for them.

It is crocheted enamel wire (worked in the round) purl stitch. Then it is mounted onto silver.

Not much else to say but glad you liked it

Oh yes it came from Shetland (not western isles) sorry to be pendantic

I realised immediately after I had written that I'd dropped a goolie But it really does have a touch of the ancients about it.

I love ancient artefacts and symbols - very into the Ogham, celts and druids and all that - so it is uncannily suited to me.

Thank you, Sheltie.

[Sheltie]

My pleasure.

You have my wife to thank for the colour.
Really chuffed you liked it. I have been having kittens about it.

How original and lovely that is, Sheltie!

Di......dropped a goolie?!

[Di Sandland]

Di......dropped a goolie?!

Yeah, I found being perfect a tad boring, Lesley, so every now and then I drop - well, maybe not a goolie as such but, you know...

[Di Sandland]

My pleasure.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel mate!

Its lovely Sheltie, Lucky Di

I love all that ancient stuff too. You can see a lot of it in the V&A jewellery room, and some at the British Museum. I feel very lucky to live in London, and be able to see these things in person.

It's lovely Sheltie. It's very original, and I bet Di will get a lot of admiring comments.
