This is my latest altered book. It was originally a salmon recipe book rescued from the Opp shop. I love the shape of it. It inspired me to re-invent it as a collection of folk wisdom, albeit with a fishy twist.
This is one of my indulgence pieces, a very beautiful pendant, strung from faceted amethyst. The clasp is a sterling silver magnet. All very classy. I'm surprised to find myself back into making jewellry, but it is so much fun and I have learned to trust where my muse takes me.
Recent visits to the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival and the Gem and Bead show saw me tempted by all manner of gorgeous gemstones - amethyst, garnet, jasper, turquoise, smokey quartz. In the end I just couldn't help myself. It seems there is no limit to the amount of jewels one woman can enjoy.
