Years ago I used to be continually doing evening courses and distance learning but that's all fallen by the wayside as I've got busier & busier and travelled more & more.

But I'm really excited to have managed to carve out 6 consecutive Friday evenings when I can get to a laser-cut jewellery course.

I've designed & made laser-cut acrylic jewellery & components before

So this evening I had a really fun time learning the ins-and-outs of designing for laser-cutting and already I've made a test pendant, designed a cabochon to bead around and designed & made a happy pendant for me to paint & wear.

After making my recent bottled Vin D'Orange I'm in a bottling mood so have added a few bottles of black cherry shrub to the cupboard.
