Bazola pendants

 

 

 

 



Christmas aftermath and Bazola

We have had SO much rain in this neck of the woods - luckily where I live is in the hills and I am high up, so no flooding here, but I feel for all the people on river flats throughout the country. The snow in the Nth hemisphere has also left me grateful for living in a moderate climate with all the necessary amenities and conveniences still in working order.

Nevertheless it has been a bit of a dreary couple of weeks - family away camping on the beach in the rain for Christmas, daughter in Haslemere, UK, slipping and sliding on the ice, and I am feeling rather sad after my elderly Mum's death a few weeks ago. Friends have kept me motivated and feeling loved - several dinners, coffee catch ups, and a lovely Christmas dinner with a very dear friend and her family.

I also managed to get back into the 'Bazola' jewellery - so another batch is ready to go to the gallery.

 

 

 

 

 

I will do 2 posts - one on the earrings, the other on pendants. I am approaching 100 posts so I am cheating a bit to get there faster. Stay tuned for a give away!!

Happy Christmas to you all

I hope you all have a fun filled and especially loving day tomorrow, no matter what your beliefs and celebrations involve.

"ANCIENT RECORDS"

We have a FABULOUS local bookshop, 'Rosettas', which has just expanded and moved into a refurbished, 'wabi sabi', cosy location in the centre of town. The owner, Ann, has kindly offerred to take some artist's books so Barry, Fiona and I have delivered some of our special pieces for display in a prime location just behind the front desk, and hopefully we may sell to the Christmas shoppers.

I made some lovely little Japanese style 'Ancient Records' cut and reassembled from old Japanese texts. I had fun making them - whimsical little things with a bit of a mysterious history - they are mostly made from Noh theatre scripts.
