When the sun shone through the windows this morning the decorations took on a life of their own throwing rainbows,

and have made these broaches just to see if I could. The faces are enamelled using a stamp I have had for years, the legs swing...all very silly, but great fun to make.

I have a number of issues with this post : No 1- SUN!! when was that and why haven't we had any? No 2- Spare Time!! You must be joking Superwoman and No 3- those brooches are to die for. Be careful you haven't developed a range of something that could fly off the shelves.. I want one and I suspect there could be a queue forming behind me. xx
Beautiful wintery shadows adding to the decorations - and like Lesley I think those brooches are just out of this world.
What do you mean spare time? have you discovered the secret to not needing sleep??!
Seriously I don't know ow you do it, they're all beautiful.
