Internet reloaded and some new work in progress

Iris

I can't tell you how happy I am to be reconnected to the internet and now we are sooo hi tech! I am coming to you via satellite!!!! And the connection is much faster than we had before! Now, if the satellite antenne will only withstand the storms to come - that is our biggest worry at the moment. We shall see.

Flea market finds
I took a short trip to the flea market this morning and scored some more great brass buttons and a glass eye, such as taxidermists use. Aren't they neat?


This is a new mixed media painting I am working on. It has been calling me and I am just a bit out of the zone with my jewellery. Maybe because the painting wants out. We'll see where this piece wants to go.

Catching up

Well, it doesn't look like I will have an internet connection for awhile, so I am learning how to cope. My provider has now stated that they cannot provide acceptable and sustained connection - duh! But when they sold us the contract, they said the connection was great ... I don't want to dwell on it, it is nothing but aggravation.

I pinched a nerve in my shoulder on the weekend and I haven't been able to do much of anything, because moving my arm was extremely painful. It is getting better now and I hope I will be able to complete some new jewellery this week (about time!).
That being said - I am going to show some pictures of my garden. Anyone who has seen enough of it should stop here.
