My challenge piece - Tree of Love

I've just entered my very first challenge. The theme is Summer Romance, so I made this little tree of love! It is listed in my Etsy shop but mostly what I would hugely appreciate is a vote, which you can do just by clicking the pics or title and click a button - simple!

Thank you so much - I'm so excited!! (I'm not last at the moment ;-)

Patinas - Midnight Flowers

The range of flowers is growing. I wanted to make some flowers with some colour in, and so the saga of trying to get a patina finish started. Well three weeks later I finally managed to get a result I was pleased with, and that is the central one - that I have kept, is not for sale and is staying with mummy!! Totally delighted with it. The colours of all of these is so vibrant and rich, the photos just can't them justice. Many glasses of wine, searching through books and online, checking in with forum buddies helped me get here, so I am very grateful to the metalclayheads team at Etsy.
