Product

Well they didn't make it to a big piece.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I tried but I must say that I really do like them as individual little gems.
This one has been added to a duck egg cuff and is now in my ETSY shop.


The one below which goes quite well with the cuff is now a brooch and is also listed.

See, they look nice together I think.
Ooh must go back and edit the listing. I forgot to mention the fragments of silk fibres on the mustard.


This little oddment will be joining them but I am just having a break from listing..its a bind.

I had a deviation from the blue green and will be listing this ....


Now, the larger pieces would not go together without arguing so I gave them each their very own naughty step.*

I still call them one piece though.



I think the green growing out of the black is reminiscent of the Season.
New shoots and all that?

And there's even a bit of white for the snow blanket that covered them and kept them warm

I just need a title.
'Unfurling trio' ?
'Three bursts of Growth'?
'Spring thoughts'

Or sometimes I think they are like all the little things that came out of Pandoras box, but they were bad things weren't they?
Oh!
Someone on TV has just said 'Hope'.
Thats the last thing that came out of the box and thats what I'll call them.
'Hope'
I must find a better way of phrasing that to include a reference to the three.

EDIT: They just won first in the Coats Anchor Award at the NW regional day.

These are easy..


'Brooches'.

post on Wednesday?
will you?

I really have a strange story about this.
Arlee did hers last week and when I read it I discovered that Cynjon, a blogger I had never seen, had suggested it a few weeks ago.
I hadn't seen it.
Isn't it strange?




*Not really steps..they are little 6x4 inch box canvases.

  2. I love the idea of showcasing a piece on a canvas. Genius. I may have to borrow that idea.

    Have a great weekend :)

  3. Love them all, but special mentions - the cuff is beautiful, I like the mauve and gold and that last big piece is surely a Welsh Harp!
    I know exactly what you mean about listing, sometimes it seems to take forever!

  4. That cuff is just fantastic! I was watching What Not To Wear earlier and Trinny was sporting a rather fetching cuff. That's good news for us cuff makers : )
    Love the three on their naughty steps too. They still remind me of the tuning ends of guitars and fiddles.

  11. The cuff is just gorgeous - I love those blues. The pieces on a canvas work really well - a group of three is sometimes called a Triptych which might work, eg Spring Triptych?? Or you could title them individually AND collectively as "Hope Springs Eternal"??? Oh I'm full of ideas today ...
    PS the word verification was "sneakey" is it trying to tell me something??

  14. Congrats on that award Jackie. I love the cuff - they do need to be on their own so that all those lovely little details can be fully appreciated. They look great on the little artists canvases.

  18. hello Jackie,

    Yes I'm near you, south, in Leigh. My husband works near Chorley at Euxton.

    There are quite a few cats on our estate, so ours just add to the general number. Though if one looses a collar the neighbours just bring it back to our house!
