Polishing, packing and production

Today has been another of those here and there art days.

I have been polishing leaves for the citizens festival in Tatebayashi and cutting, stamping and polishing peace words for giving away in Japan; polishing art works and packing them for three exhibitions - Sano in Japan, Calondra Gallery and the Kenilworth art competition; finishing resin keyring for Entangle; and making a couple of pendants for a friend to buy as Christmas gifts (is it that time already).

Leaves and peace words for Japan.
