Sunny day - good for catching light

We are really having some weird weather on the east side of Australia. Last night the wind howled, gusted and buffeted all night. Still a bit breezy today - but the clouds have gone and the sun shone all day. It meant I could get outside and fix up a few things on the block - including picking up about 30 avocados blown off during the night; putting the bird netting back over the nectarine tree; and moving a bit more gravel on the terraces.

On the art front I put the Hammered Light light catcher out in the sunshine to see how it worked. The photos below show the fractured light given off including personal rainbows. I think these pieces are going to work well for people.

On Thursday when we met for coffee Noela and Ken gave me some bits to recycle. Noela's bits, including a couple of long held and precious rollers, are for assemblages (I owe Noela a light catcher now); and Ken gave me worn silver plated dishes to cut up for bowls and bling (Ken to get a silver beaten bowl). You can see from the last photo I have 'dis-assembled' Ken's silverware.

  3. T - great to have feedback on one's work - I did like the rainbow running counter to the grain of my work bench; and just loved the crystal clearness of your droplets. Go well. B
