Life on the block has been pretty hectic lately with community, family, art commission and friend commitments. Finding time to do a little unstructured creating has been a challenge. I have given myself a deadline of the end of July to complete my Peace Leaves for International Peace Day.
I grabbed a few hours yesterday to finish opening the last of the leaves - quite a line up as you can see from the photo below.

I only just made the 210 goal as I had given a few away over the last month; and as you can from the photo below I lost 8-9 to poor metal.

Anyway I took a stash over to the grinding and polishing bench. By the going down of the sun I had managed to grind and polish 50 leaves.

Only 160 to go.
That's a lot of peace, may it multiply!!
