In the medievil days of old when magic filled the air!

These two brooches were stolen years ago from Handmark Gallery  in Hobart ..I came across them again on my Website  WWW.brucepringle.com  .. Weird one with the ‘head’ is stained Hippo tusk (Found) and the other has a slice of the same ! Amazing Ivory to work with , no visible grain to speak of and a pristine white ! I picked it up a long time ago In St Lucia in Northern Natal , South Africa, while I was being devoured by Mozzies that were attracted to the sqashed Pawpaw that was in my pack when I sat on it ..

Pierced steel for roller pressings …early results ..I’m a bit pleased with these ..  looking forward to seeing where I  go with them

…Got the little ‘brass brad’ rivets from Macanns Model Shop in Hobart .

A lovely artist friend of mine – Tiffany Calder-Kingston is having an exhibition of her paintings and will also be showing some of my jewellery and some gorgeous ceramics by Jules Hunt.  Opening night is Friday the 3rd – below is the invitation. If you click on the image, it will open as a larger picture in a new window.  I’m driving up and back on the day – a long time in the car, but it should be a great evening!

…said the Beautician when she inspected my skin through her special light – then she said the skin on my face wasnt so flash.  But i knew that – its why i was there to see her.  Still, I’m glad she said something nice first – rule number one when trying to get someone to spend some money – be nice.

And what better to show off a lovely décolletage than a pretty pendant!
