The rains have arrived very late here in Western Australia, but the heavens are making up for it now. We have had three freezing cold days with winds and flooding rain, days where my face feels cold each time I stick it outside and all four fur-babies jostle for places in front of the heater. Nights where I cannot turn over without disturbing at least one fur-baby snuggled as close as he can get. Normally I would whinge about the cold, and the wet, but our farmers have been so desperate and the season change so late I am joyful, grateful that we are not to have a drought.
An added bonus is the wild weather is just perfect for creating (and even doing school work). The last two junk pins
sold quickly, the one above was started at the same time. I have been making earrings and hat pins too. I love hat pins, they are perfect for holding my scarves in place as I dash between classes - arms full of books, and the inevitable hot tea. I made some traditional ones with bright beads last week, and this week I have made the steam punk version below.

Yep, it's freezing cold and wet up here in Perth too Julie! We're also having the same "my spot, no...MY spot" with the animals in front of the heater. ;-)

Glad you're getting some rain and won't have a drought. Just keep on snuggling with those fur babies!
As always your jewelry is beautiful. The birds with the nest and eggs are just so delicate and so pretty. Your hat pins are great!! I never thought about using them on a scarf. I'm going to try that as I have a couple of hat pins that belonged to my grandma.
You're right about the weather and making art! They go hand in hand! I especially love the birds with the nests -- I've never seen little nests like those before! Lovely!
the blue color on the pin dangles are beautiful, they remind me of the blue skies and the birdie earrings just darling...you do such wonderful work my friend..xo
Lovely pieces you are posting of late. Hope you stay warm and cozy while the weather is wet! hugs xox

Glad you and furbabies are keeping warm!

Beautiful pieces, Julie.x
Fabulous hat pins! I really like the steampunk style. Do you get the basic hat pin form froms somewhere? I am fascinated by the idea of creating these. Great stuff.
