Some owls....and a horse!

Can't believe I'm actually posting 2 messages in one day!

I made the owls quite a while ago, I had to wait for hours in this little room at Pinewood's, so to pass the time I just played around with some wire and this is the result!
They are both only prototypes and I'm not yet sure when and how and where they will come into any of my pieces but I'm thinking they would be great for a workshop, fairly easy to make once you have managed to  control the thick wire that creates the owl outline....

 They are about 5cm long and 2.5cm wide, so I suppose they could be used as a pendant or maybe a brooch?

I think the reason why designers like using owls is because they are instantly recognisable....it must be the eyes!









Now I haven't made a horse out of wire-yet- but a simple little necklace for one of my nieces who likes horse riding. I found this lovely horse charm and rather than getting a sparkly silver one I went for the burnished gold one. Teamed up with a few carefully chosen beads I think this looks rather nice!

Well, that's it from me for now,

It's been a long time......

Feeling a bit guilty for writing so infrequently, maybe I should make a second new year's resolution and promise myself to be a more active blogger....!

Have been playing around with some ideas...not sure where they will go but I have quite a few PMC pieces and I am thinking about how to best combine them with Macramé, there is a pic here for you...I've used C-Lon on one side (with some small beads) and some cotton thonging on the other side. I think it could look quite good with some plain black leather, wrapped round the wrist twice....just a thought.

 Oh, and very exciting news! The new trailer for the Dark Shadows movie is out!!!! May the 11th is the release date, I was quite pleased to see my macramé borders on the placemats used in the Dining room scene, especially the one where they show JD from the front and they are in full view; oh and not to forget the napkinrings..... I can't believe how long they took to make....that's the thing with macramé...if you're making a wallhanging or placemat it takes so long to mount all your cords....Anyway watch the trailer on YouTube!!!
