Bear pendant... Double GRR!

Back with more bear-tastic shenanigans!
As the logo already existed, I saved myself a good hour or so by modifying the existent bear in Photoshop, oh Photoshop, is there anything you can't do?

Here are the changes...

From left: additional tufts of fur, upper tooth and finally upper and lower teeth.

And then I did this...

LOLLY POP!

After the joys of Photoshop and a conversation with my client, I made a funky prototype which looks like this...

Lovely jubbly! Onto the silver! More on this to come...

Bear pendant... GRR!

Recently, I was commissioned by a jolly fun friend to make a bear pendant. I have no idea where the bear logo is from but due to copyright shenanigans, my design skills were put to the test (well not really!) and the bear of bears needed a certain number of changes so it was not like the original but it still does look like the original but it isn't...

Anyway, here is the chosen logo...

More to come of this later!

Christmas Opal 2013

Last Christmas... I gave you my heart! Wham, shhh! Besides the epic Christmas song, I did however make a ring.

I was commissioned (free of charge) by my boyfriend to make a ring for his mother as a Christmas present. Well sort of, he had bought her a green opal and was planning to simply give it to his mum. I of course offered to set it properly in a setting on a simple ring, and so my first mini commission had begun!

My soldering skills were put to the test as this tiny stone required a tiny setting, complimenting the shape and simple design of the overall piece.

And here it is, the finished ring, photographed by Charlotte Atkinson Photography.

Hugs and Cuddles

During the last week of July, I helped out at a children's holiday club held at my local church.

In my friends group was a child who went round hugging everyone, including various body parts such as arms and legs. When he was questioned as to why he was hugging arms and legs, this small child simply replied 'it's not just the body that needs a hug'.

To me, this is heart warming. A child, probably about the age of 5, knew the whole body can sense and feel things and should be loved and cared for.

Respect your body, look after it and like this very individual child, hug like you mean it to everyone!
