Silver/9ct earrings,Cats eye/silver/9ct red pendant,Amethyst/Ag/9ct pendants and a quick pair of e rings.

That's my kind of jewellery! I particularly like the fourth one - gorgeous!

Thanks.Working with mass produced stuff all day,it`s nice to sit and play/relax by doing what YOU want.

Very nice Swageblock. I notice you're from down West. Have you got your stuff in the Cape Cornwall exhibition?

[swageblock]

Oh Yeah.I allways do.I`m involved with setting it up and hanging pictures etc.
have been for last 16 years!!

I've done it for about 5 years. There's some lovely stuff there but also a lot of tat I think this year. Wonder how it's going?

[swageblock]

Seems to be OK,agree about the tat,but its always there.There is no hanging comittee and as long as peoples work is their own,ie not from kits,we accept it.
You don`t want to hear my comments when hanging some of the paintings!!
That having been said,the overall standard is good,and hopefully people take note of how good other craftsmens/womens work is and bring their c**p up to par.
We have raised over £500,000 for Cancer research over the last 40 odd years so must be doing something right.
It also gives a very good[and cheap]shop window for local artists and craftsmen.

Couldn't agree more. A very worthwhile event. Thanks to you and all the ladies involved.
