Any constructive criticism is welcome, I’d really love to hear what you think of them!
(also please excuse the dust, scratches and fingerprints obscuring some of the design and text, sanding and polishing is the next stage!)

Fashion
These three pieces are reserved for Sterling Silver fittings and necklaces once I’ve gotten round to making them all smooth and shiny. There’s something a little fun about taking messy, lavish collages and pairing with something as delicate and simple as silver :)

Ballet
Just some vintage images of ballet dancers that I came across. The first has been collaged and finished with a red bow embedded into the resin. I’ve used the other in a more abstract way and keeping with the monochromatic scheme have added a faux pearl and a little silver flower from some broken, vintage jewels donated by a friend.

…and finally! A new collaboration with graphic designer and maker I Love Lexy. Alex had some of her I Love Lexy signature graphics printed onto fabric just before Christmas and I’ve taken abstracts from them and embedded them in various resin shapes. As soon as I finish attaching bails they’ll be on sale in her own online shop :)

edit: just read my own post back to myself, possibly the longest one I’ve written EVER. If I’m so busy with all this work then why am I spending hours on the internet playing with photos and writing about it?!~

Meet my stall buddy heh heh heh:

Alex Penter – I Love Lexy

Sloans market was definitely my favourite.  Bestest customers in the world! Friendly and polite and lots of good chat.   Oh wait, except the one lady who threw my necklace back down, loudly declaring her disgust and disappointment that it was infact made of  resin and not stone.  Slightly amused at the fact she thought such a thing existed as purple leopard print stone…with embedded silk bows, less amused at the insults and the chucking of the jewellery :(  I need to get tougher and not let teeny things like this upset me.

ANYWAY everyone else was absolutely lovely and made me very very warm with happy thoughts (and monies in my pocket, now planned for Christmas time in Bath instead of New year in Morocco).   Last fair was today in Aberdeen, fairly quiet but  a fun day, cosy warm indoors with mulled wine,  more good chat and hanging out with cool folk.

I also met some husky dogs today!  Gave them a little cuddle and got my face slobbered on.  Excellent end to a busy fortnight!
