I'm going to visit my friends in Sheffield this weekend and they announced a couple of weeks ago that they are expecting their first child!
They have been trying for some time now so to mark the occasion I made the pendant below for the mum to be.
Baby heart took a few tries and it's still not quite how I would like it but I'm hoping you like it.
Not expecting to win as the other entries are fab but thought it would be nice to take part.
More lovely designs!
I always love your work Lydia, you are so inventive!
I love the variety of interpretations of these competitions!!

Well, nothing like cutting it fine - have been working on this for a while but only just got it finished today and now having trouble uploading pictures as the files are too large.
Anyway, hopefully you will be able to see a silver necklace chain, links are the love-knot with infinity links. The love knots are 1.2mm wire; infinity links 0.9mm wire and the jump rings 0.8 mm wire which were a bit of a pain to solder together, but my soldering is definitely improving thanks to all the help I have had on here.
I'll try to post better photos tomorrow. I really like this chain - hope you do too.
Hi all,
Thank you for your lovely entries for this month's competition!
I will get our judges to have a look and decide (if they can) who should win!
Keep an eye out on here and the winner will be announced in the next few days!
Fingers crossed and good luck!
Thanks
Jemima
