I'm very excited! I'm going to Barcelona and Zaragoza in Spain on Monday! My Dad and I are spending a night in Barcelona then getting on a train to Zaragoza where we will spend three days visiting the Expo. Then back to Barcelona for three days of sightseeing. I've always wanted to visit Barcelona, I'm a big fan of Gaudi (who isn't!) and I can't wait to see his buildings!
So this week I'm just trying to get everything to a stage where it can be left for a week. A couple of kilt pins to design and some jewellery to finish. I'm working on a little collection of bangles and rings with silver and black resin. Below are some pictures of work in progress. I'm really happy with how the rings are turning out and I think I'll be happier with the bangles when they are more finished. Sometimes it's hard to tell what a piece will look like when it's finished. I will often change a design in the making process, unless it's an agreed upon design. I find you have to work with the materials rather than tell them what to do to make the finished item a success, however well drawn it will always have a different quality when turned into a 3D object.
I shall also be dropping into Hanna's Gallery in Dundee with some of my jewellery. They are holding a 'Ladies Day' for people to come and see jewellery, meet the jewellers, eat, drink and have fun! And there will be a charity raffle where you can win pieces of jewellery. I was really looking forward to participating in this but the date has changed, it is on Sunday 29th June, I will still be in Barcelona :( & :) But I will be exhibiting some jewellery with them that can be bought or won of course! Please contact the gallery manager, Jen Robson, for more details - info@hannasgallery.co.uk
