Motivation for a pendant or two

Not a lot of time for art today - quite a bit of cleaning up after the recent rain and wind; and catching up with an overseas artist friend.

But Fiona's birthday motivated me to make a simple natural looking pendant from timber and wood (Hairy Oak off cuts). I made two so that she had a choice. She chose the long slim one - so the other will go to a friend.

Making those pendants resulted in my finishing a couple more bone pendants.

And a couple of silver-plated EPNS and resin pendants - by-products of the ring commission I was doing.

Now I'm off to help do a few bits to prepare for dinner with the visitors tonight.
