Afternoon all - harvested some potatoes, courgettes and cleared one beetroot bed today giving a couple of fellow plot holders 3 or 4 each as theirs are still a bit small. My first sight of a grey squirrel on the site today although others have said they have seen the odd one but nothing like last year when they were on site every day from May till September. Joined in the polytunnel late afternoon by two of my friends for an hour or so whilst the rain fell reminiscing over old times. :-)

I'm back from my course!
Wow! Anyone else tried copper enamelling?? It's so good, very exciting to see the effects coming out of the kiln, and quick too which is very good for peeps like me with zero patience
You could make what you wanted, plaques, mobile things but even though I rarely wear jewellery I'm always drawn to making things to wear. I have lots of things made for presents, I think I need more friends



3 pendants...well chuffed!

[Bren In Pots]

They're pretty Scarlet

[SusieG]

They're really lovely, Scarlet .....................I'll be your friend...

[Scarlet]

I need more friends Susie, seriously considering getting myself a kiln! I was tempted a few years back and didn't get one but I may bite the bullet soon.

They're lovely Scarlet. I have some enamelled earrings somewhere that a friend made for me.
There was a kiln on our local freecycle recently! Bet it was snapped up.

Just checked - its gone

[Scarlet]

Oh, never even thought of looking at secondhand VC - great idea! I might try that route first. I like the look of small enamelled bowls too, just a little more space to work on.

Although I'm going to have to do some homework as I'm not really sure what I need to get..

Hello friend Scarlet, those look very nice, well done, but I see from your comment its not really recommended for women

[Nannysally99]

Good evening Folks, have just came in from a walk with the dog, and although raining the colours of the countryside are something to look at, all the different shades of green in the trees, really uplifting, next time out I will take my camera for some photos. Well I wish you all very good night, as OH has made my supper, I wonder what she is after. Goodnight

[Small pumpkin]

I love your jewellery scarlet. They are fantastic.

I did a bit in Metalwork at School, if memory serves me right I recall using some kind of coloured powder.
