Sunday drilling

Last week and the week before I collected lots of crops or pieces and chips of wood, some at a Christmas sale at one of my favourite crafts shop. They put on sale all the things they considered useable only around Christmas to decorate the house. But in fact these stuff will make perfect for my jewelry ideas.

Here is a photo of our afternoon with my boyfriend this Sunday. I had the usual migraine that I have been suffering from for a very long time so we stayed inside and he drilled a lot of raw material for me while I was sitting there next to the fireplace and watched him work with the dogs sleeping at our feet.

I can't wait to use all these, I've got loads of ideas to be realized!

Ugly - but still only raw

Below in the picture you can see the new raw material for my works. I have no idea what this really is, I picked and collected them some weeks ago during an excursion with my boyfriend and the two dogs in the nearby forest. They were all under a certain tree which unfortunately I do not know.

As you see, they are already drilled - thanks Peti!

I know, they don't really look nice at the moment, but believe me, after cleansing them thoroughfully and giving them some protecting lacquer coat, they will just look wonderful on a necklace coming soon!

In case anyone knows what these are, please let me know!
