A few of us in my quilting group have been fascinated with the One Block Wonder technique and this is my recently completed top. The feature fabric had enough variety to yield widely differing hexagons and this is what I did with them.

Wonderful week, lots of work done. The family had dismantled everything possible of the old kitchen and spent hours scraping at the glued down vinyl flooring before the professionals took over. Walls removed, ceiling removed, electrics, water and gas relocated. Now the sheeting is going up. So glad this is finally happening.
Found time in a busy week to roll some glass and try out some new colours. This gives me some useful beads and a few more combinations for new jewellery. Summer Sunset Market in Queanbeyan on Friday 16th March 5pm - 8pm and then I'm having a stall at the Uniting Church Fete at the Wesley Centre on National Circuit in Canberra on Saturday 17th March, 9am - 2pm. I shall get some more pictures up of what sort of things will be available but come along and see for yourself and have a chat.
I've started making new glass beads for new pieces of jewellery; lots of ideas whistling through my head, not enough hours in the day to work on them. There is of course the odd bit of patchwork to do aswell and people to visit. I will try to get into the glass studio as often as I can in the next few weeks so that I have a huge amount of lampworked beads to pick from. There are really popular colours amongst people who buy my jewellery I find, such as black and white, reds, deep green and white, amber and stone. I will keep working on producing the occasional large, gorgeous focal bead which just sets everything else off. I will make friends for my focal beads, using same colour(s) or texture to refer neatly back to the focal. Then pearls, crystals or other natural material beads to complement the ensemble. Can't wait to see what results!
Plenty of time to do lots of different things, paid architectural work, lampwork, building, gardening, riding the motorbike (!), amongst other things. Never an idle moment. So the past two Mondays were spent in the studio and this is what came out of the kiln...
