New stuff in the works







These are tiny, 20mm diam.  They will be for cufflinks.  Happy Christmas all, and if you are reading this blog and are enjoying it, do us a favour and hit the Like button. I gather that is a good thing to do.

Who is this woman?

Laura and I met in San Francisco when she came to work for me as a p.a.  She is Canadian who is  married to Brett and the mother of 9 year old Henry. She lives in London now, happily for me, and is once again working with me.
Together we are trying to negotiate the internet and learn how best to use it. The prospect is formidable to me, but together maybe we can tackle it. The fact is publishing has changed so much that most, if not all, book business is marketed through the net, and we just need to do this.  So, social media like Twitter, Linked in etc all have to be done.
One thing is to keep the blog going on a regular basis.
I will post more pics of the cufflinks soon.

New work

  

As well as working on the panel I have started to make some tiny, tiny discs for cufflinks (20mm. diam)  I need a jewellers' lens strapped scratchily to my head so I can see, but it does work!
They are going to be in white gold too, and have pendants to match.  I am working with Justin Richardson of Canterbury, www.justinrichardson.co.uk so the mounts will be of the best design and quality, and the glass will not fall out!
And once they are done we can get some decent photos done.
