Towards the end of the week I was
making a summer cuff; using gold plate wire, lucite flowers and bee
charms. It's a long make with approximately 15m of wire, 45 flowers
and over 4 hours of work. My cats respond differently to the
prolonged concentration. Mog, the older one, sees it as competition
for my attention and I have to stop her trying to sit on my work.
Silent Bob, our 14 month old boy tries to join in. It's because of
this that I almost dread taking a break on a long make. This time, I
heard a thump from my beading room, some scrabbling noises and then
Silent Bob came trotting towards me, bag of lucite flowers bouncing
against him as he proudly brought them to me. He'd had to fight with
them so there was a hole in the bag and he'd left a trail of flowers
through the house. It took forever to clean up.
I'm really looking forward to the day I
have a studio separate to the house!
