I love the internet!

This is the Midnight Bird Singing by Moonlight brooch and necklace by Cari-Jane Hakes hybrid handmade from The Moon brooch series.

Don't you just love the way the internet allows you to connect with other like-minded people and share ideas and generally give each other support and positive feedback. A case in point is the link to one of my newest jewellery making 'friends'. We found each other because I made a gallery in Flickr, which she then linked to Etsy and added it to her blog. Mind boggling really if you think about it for too long! Anyway, am loving the end result. Thanks so much Cari-Jane Hakes of http://www.etsy.com/shop/hybridhandmade?ref=pr_shop in France.

Happy New Year everyone. I am not one for resolutions as I don't like to set myself unrealistic goals and set myself up for failure (I'm a coward, I know!). Who needs that pressure going into a new year full of possibilities? But I've decided that this year a "doable" resolution will be that I am going to make more jewellery, as this is my soul food. So here's a picture of me in my studio working on a piece for Joanie, who found me through Etsy. Thanks Joanie and thanks Etsy, onward and upward in 2011!
