Life on the Island

I found this blog a while back through Deb Batten, Life on the Island is the blog of lampwork artist Paula who makes wonderful glass beads. Some are exquisite pretty colours and others are the most amazing little critters. Her dogs are wonderful and they always make me smile. She held a giveaway a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to win, my prize is an amazing pair of one of a kind earrings and they arrived in wintery Auckland last week.


The green pair are mine, I was so excited when I opened them up and found the most amazing shimmery green glass. It is lovely and has patterns that go right through, you can follow them to the centre and back out again, amazing. I am off to a show on Friday with a girlfriend so I may just premiere them then.

How cool Em! Those will look really nice one.

I recently had a wee win too - I was shocked! Normally I cant draw my name out of a hat full of "Deb's" & yet I managed to be chosen this time.....so I know just how you feel.

But you are going to have to wait to see what I won - because, like you I want to début it on my blog.
