Misery antidote
My slightly mental red boots from last year have come out of the cupboard since it is so dull and grey and I am feeling low after a bout of winter flu. Need to think of some things to wear with these, I figure they should be just the ticket to lift the spirits.

Grrr...
Have just under-fired some PMC and it broke. Interesting in a way; when I looked inside the broken pieces it was still white clay as opposed to silver. Must have got ginger with the blowtorch in the whiley since I last did anything with it. Have two more pieces to fire tomorrow. Must be braver with fire...
Mum's Christmas necklace
Sterling, Ethiopian silver (no idea what that means and suspect it means nothing official at al) and freshwater pearls in two colours. Hope she likes it.
Dolly no clothes
I have been experimenting with making a polymer doll with wired joints. I made her legs a bit skewed which gives her a tendency to do a sort of jaunty high-kick when she's laid flat. She sits well, as she demonstrates here on an old flat-iron. She looks a bit 20s without her clothes on but she'll look more modern once she's dressed. I don't plan to make her clothes removable so I photographed her without clothes for my own reference. Poor dolly looks a bit suggestive (!). I am pleased with her stockings - I used to make tights like this for peg dolls when I was little with my granny's old tights.
Again there is no daylight here and so it's an awful pic.
