Can you identify these rocks?

We recently bought a mixed box of rocks which contained two rocks we can’t identify, does anyone know what they are please?

7th Bead Soup Party: Meet My Partner Sarah Goode

The 7th Bead Soup Blog Party is now in full swing and I guess there is a lot of soup making going on amongst beaders and jewellery makers all around the world :-) There are hundreds of participants! Pookledo  on Facebook My Soup partner is Sarah Goode of  Pookledo from Loughborough. Yes only about 35 miles or so from Stamford! Quite amazing that I get a fairly local partner through a party organised by Lori in USA! Don't you just love the internet? Mixed Media Art Brooch Hopefully there will be an opportunity to meet Sarah at an event or two in the near future. I don't travel too far for my shows but you never know. Sarah might be venturing our way. In fact I have a feeling Sarah and I have been in touch before as her name sounds VERY familiar. Perhaps it was for a Stamford Artisan Guild event. I am sure it will come to me at some point. I am sharing a couple of examples of Sarah's work listed in her Etsy Shop. Lovely aren't they? And S...

Swirls and Spirals

Round and Round and Round it goes Some of my jewellery has a fair amount of swirls in it, its a good way to wrap wire and finish off rough ends. But looking at the last 5-6 pieces I have made everything is going round and round! A bit like me then! I have days when I just keep thinking things over in my head again and again and again but don't actually do anything about it! Do you have days like this? Or am I just being cool and trendy ;-) See comments on a photo I posted on my Facebook page.

7th Bead Soup Party: Shalini's Sparkly Serving Revealed!

So the day is finally here! Its PARTY TIME! My parties are always "Bring a Bottle" kinds so help yourself to your favourite tipple and enjoy! Part 1: This is my first entry into the world of Bead Soups. Be gentle lovely people... It all started when I signed up for the Pretty Things 7th Bead Soup Blog party on 26 January. I have since blogged a bit about it. My Partner Sarah Goode from Pookledo sent me a lovely stash of shiny things! A handful of Swarovski disc crystals / Some metal glitterballs in various sizes / A length of silver plated chain / Some Swarovski glass pearls / a magnetic glitterball clasp  Yummy I hear you say! It is! But apart from the silver chain these are things I have NEVER worked with before! My pieces tend to have a lot of colour in them! And here I am looking at lots of grey (OK shiny silvery grey but it is shades of grey, maybe not quite 50 but near enough!) HELP! This is totally out of my comfort zone! You set me a chal...
