Dreaming Mouse

So after many weeks of it being just too hot to work in the craft room for longer than a few minutes, finally managed to spend the day in there working on one of the many ideas that have built up in my ideas book.
It needs a base and a bit of a tidy up but I'm relatively happy with it.

Reason it takes so long between posts.
After getting frustrated at main project going wrong decided to take a break and try something else.
3 hours work = a pile of scrap wire and 1 completed flower. Not pictured all the seed beads on the floor.
Only got another 13 flowers to make!

Well I've finally finished taking the photos of my work and making the albums (apart from the miscellaneous folder which I can't find at the moment lol)
I can now confirm I have no talent for photography and I've got nearly 300 failed photos of my work to prove it.
Dispite this it's actually been nice getting out everything and looking at it all again. The best part has been seeing how much my work has improved as I've developed and learnt new skills. (some pieces I wish I could remake)
I've not finished completely with the album's everything now need descriptions added, but I need a break and want to work on a project I've got an idea for.
Photos are of my favourite pieces I've made so far

Decided to start my new photographs with the jewellery as it was the easiest projects to unpack.
I'm not expecting this album to actually get any bigger for 2 reasons. Firstly because I'm now concentrating on the more artistic side of my hobby. Secondly and probably the main reason I keep 99% of jewellery I make. Just in the process of taking these photos 5 pieces I had planned to sell moved to my personal collection instead.
I love jewellery with a passion, my earliest crafting memories are of using plasticine and sweet wrappers to make jewellery.
I am fascinated with the history of jewellery and its workmanship from prehistoric to modern day.
And I adore making it and repairing bits that I find in broken mixed bags, but I just can't part with it which is an issue.
So it is more than likely that by the time I'm ready to sell things, most of the items in these photos will actually have moved to my own collection 🤣🤣
