Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Fern Earrings

I know its not what you would normally expect for fern foliage.
Nevertheless, its a fern from my childhood memory.

When i was growing up in Hainan Island. There were plenty of Fern around behind the village. They were good source of fuel for cooking, or for starting up the wood fire.

While i was saw cutting my new design, something happened and my design was ruined!

When i saw the new shape that i've cut out, I thought it got the essence of Fern!

What a happy accident

My new X'mas Bauble Earrings

BaubleE, originally uploaded by silvermonk.

I went to the Myer city store the other day and yes they already have the Christmas decorating out ...........

So i went home and get stuck onto my work bench, just working to build up my christmas stock.

And out came this cheerful Bauble.........
It combined my love of spiral and red coral!

Spring is here......

and it's time to bring out your bush walking boots and wondering in nature........

Prince William Visiting Down Under

Prince William was in our neighbourhood the other day visiting Redfern.
We were there of course.......


Uncle Max was there to hold the smoking ceremony!
The Prince went inside the Redfern Community center to have a cup of tea with the Aboriginal elders, read story and played table tennis with the kid. He made a good impression on his visit.

Uncle Max came over for a cup of tea tonight and said he can sense a good spirit in Prince William when he shook his hand. I think this is the best compliment the Prince or anyone can have......

I hope Uncle Max will be invited to his Wedding one day!

With the Loyal on our door steps, 2010 looks promising!
