I totally forgot about this tutorial until this morning when my contributor copies came through the post. It can take several months from sending off the project to it being published, I remember counting down the days with my first one and it was agonising so it was a nice surprise that I forgot !.

Going Once, Going Twice........

Going three times ........SOLD !

Last night was a great evening, full of big hair do's, beautiful girls and beefy footballers strutting their stuff on the catwalk. If you would like to have a closer look you can see more here.

I have to admit that the highlight of the evening for me was the auction, seeing my work being offered to the highest bidder. I had no idea how it would go, so when the hammer went down at £300 I was positively ecstatic.

I'm so glad that my little piece of Sparkly Treasures has contributed such a fantastic amount to such a worthwhile cause.

Star Pendant

Here it is, I was a good girl and took a photo, and while I was at it I wanted to see how good the macro was on my camera. I know its good, but I didn't realise it was this good, I mean to see the hallmarking detail this close normally requires the use of a Loupe. I think under these circumstances you will forgive the pixellation and colour !.
