What fabulous weather we have been having - ok its not going to last (in the southwest at least) so of course I've been making the most of it! Monday, a bank holiday or May Day as we call it, was really warm and we (the family) went to
TRerice, owned now by the National Trust, a beautiful Elizabethan house and gardens. Elli and E even had a go at playing Cornish Kayling - a game of skittles, and ELli tried her hand at brass rubbings. LOts of sunshine and a run around the maze - great fun. Mamma, Gump and Nanny came to - so cups of tea and slices of cake finished off the day!
Of course when the weather is fine my designs tend to turn blue don't they and this one is no exception - named Arethusa after the NYmph who who turned into a fountain - these turquoise briolettes are gorgeous!
This bracelet is named Rioja and is garnet, crystal quartz and bali silver - all wound onto dainty chain for a really slinky feel - I'm working on a kyanite, iolite and moonstone one at the moment and have slightly pink arms from sitting outside this afternoon!!

Gorgeous turquoise Jo! You're not the only one with pink arms today - I kept thinking 'I'll just do this bit and go indoors for more suntan lotion'. 30 minutes later..... And I expect I'll be just as daft tomorrow!
Oh, your day sounds just lovely!! Your new creations are gorgeous as well, my personal favorite is the bracelet - so beautiful! ~Sharon
That bracelet looks like it took forever and a day. You have the patience of a saint. your work is gorgeous.
I really love the necklace, it'sa the second piece I have seen in the last little while with the same name. And I didn't even know the myth of Arethusa before this month. :)
