    I made these deckchair earrings a while back for this competition and then the subject was changed, so I posted them on Show & Tell instead. I'm sorry if some of you have seen them before.

    They are made of blackened silver, with ribbons backed with metal for the seats. They are fixed though and will not fold. For sand I used soft brown sugar. Luckily I found an adventurous teenager to wear them on holiday.

    By making an early start, I hope it will encourage a good batch of entries Dennis.

    I remember those lovely little earrings, they are totally wonderful. I did wonder whether to add my bucket, spade and windmill to help with bolstering and bringing the comp, but decided on a newer make. These things grow in my garden so fast in the summer, the lawnmower almost seems to sprout them too! So I made this to go with the theme!

    Some stunning stuff here. I have something for this, but it's a long way from finished, so might not make it in time for June... in fact it's not much more than an idea...

    Speaking as a newbie on the forum, this looks like a really great monthly competition. For someone like me - full of ideas, lacking in self-discipline, always overstretching the budget - it might be just what is needed to focus the mind: a theme to rein in my sprawling imagination and a proper chunky prize to encourage me to actually finish what I've started.

    Also, the past months' competitions provide a fantastic gallery of interesting one-off pieces. I'm going to enjoy working my way through that, even if it makes me feel totally outclassed!

    Hi everyone,

    We are loving all of the Summer themed entries so far this month - and if you haven't entered yet, you still have time to submit your entry!

    You could be in with a chance of winning a £100 Cooksongold shopping spree, so don't forget!

    Good luck!
