happy 20th birthday NEVERMIND

hope you enjoy

seriously, how many bottles of shampoo is normal?

fifteen? is that normal? with an almost equal number of conditioners, then face scrubs, foot scrubs, warming exfoliating arse scrubs, body butter? body polish.... what the fuck is body polish? I haven't noticed her shinier than normal...she doesn't come over to me and say "well, am I shiny or what" and this is a list of stuff I can name. At least six different razors in the bathroom, my son and I can claim one each.

another spiral design pendant and earrings

http://www.folksy.com/items/1137953-recycled-copper-pendant-and-matching-earrings?shop=yes

cut from a piece of copper given to me by my brother inlaw.It was annealed and cut into three pieces, then the design was worked in wire, taped onto the copper then beaten until its impressed into the metal. The earrings are hung on silver plated hooks and the pendant on adjustable waxed cotton.

It may not appeal to everybody but I like the scarred and used look old copper has,I could spend time polishing or hammering it out but it looses personality when you do that.

I've put this for sale on Folksy

new model army at the forum 03.12.10

once again my single trip to see a band this year has been New Model Army, this time I took both my older children, it was my sons first gig and my daughters second(the first also being nma). Friday was a worrying day what with the snow and general travel chaos across the country but we made it there and made it back without any major hassles.

here's a few photos

Love the zoom on my new camera

recycling found copper

This is made from an old copper electrical contact I found while crossing the round, it was on a traffic island with one of those illuminated bollards. the copper had this wonderful green patina but because I could not figure a way of keeping it and making the pendant wearable it had to go. The pendant is on waxed cotton which can be adjusted to desired length.

celtic earrings

I don't like the term "celtic" it's used to label things that really are something else with an equally ancient and rich tradition, but it is a convenient label. This simple design was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be with my work area now littered with bits of coiled copper wire.
