Today is such an exciting day. I am delivering Ophelia to the RA for the second round of judging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This humble little print is my first attempt at etching and I absolutely loved producing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not massively confident about processing further; to be honest I'm just really chuffed to have got to the second round, but there is still a chance of being accepted, and that mere thought fills me with joy. So, I plan to enjoy the experience and hope that I get lucky. It would be so fabulous to have a piece of my work hung in such an amazing exhibition alongside such wonderful artists.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All I can do after today is wait and cross my fingers! :)</div>

Sorry for not blogging sooner, but it's been very busy here with lots of good stuff.<br />
My resolution to do more painting has failed miserably but I have been much more successful with my jewellery and my new love, printmaking.<br />
Here are some of my first attempts:<br />

I think I love etching the best. There is something extremely satisfying about turning the handle of a printing press and then uncovering your finished print. Just brilliant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The course has been amazing. Under the careful tutoring of <a href="http://www.liambiswell.com/printmakingworkshops">Liam Biswell</a> I've been introduced to all sorts of printing techniques and it's been so fabulous to be surrounded by so many creative and talented people. The whole experience has been a joy.</div>

This is a pendant I've just finished. It's made from a beautiful and quite large aquamarine stone set in fine silver and mounted on Sterling silver with a cut out heart on the back allowing you to see the back of the stone.<br />

However there's nothing that makes me more anxious than the moments before I hand a painting or piece of jewellery over to my customer. You want them to be delighted, but you hope that they'd say if something wasn't right. I find it really stressful. It's only a split second before you find out, one way or another, and then ... relief! Ahhhhhh!<br />
This week has seen me successfully deliver a number of commissions and work hard on a few new ones.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itn45df0s0Y/UwB6vSIn1fI/AAAAAAAAARA/O0JdezzaNrY/s1600/PIMG_1540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itn45df0s0Y/UwB6vSIn1fI/AAAAAAAAARA/O0JdezzaNrY/s1600/PIMG_1540.jpg" height="280" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is one of my favourites. The challenge was to make a fingerprint heart to sit on a chain with an existing pendant. The heart had to include the fingerprints of three grown up children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used my newly acquired photoshop skills and my new photopolymer machine to help transfer the prints to silver and with a little engineering help from my friend Clare I managed to fit the two pieces together so they sit perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The result is a completely unique piece of jewellery and I couldn't be happier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may even make it available to commission on Etsy. It's such a nice idea to have your children's prints but also would be great for a bride and groom or an anniversary pressy. Possibilities are endless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was also really happy to deliver a really great dog tag style finger print pendant and a painting of Instow to a very patient friend. I can't show you these as they are pressy's and I don't want to accidentally ruin any surprises.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you all enjoy a relaxing half term! xxx</div>

However, I will not give up! My aim is still to post once a week, to marvel at my triumphs, tragedies and other general goings on! :)<br />
<br />
I suppose Friday night / Saturday morning is a good time to look back on the week and ponder. It's been a good one on the whole. I have spent most of my arty time working on commissions, both jewellery and painting and I am pleased to say that I have finished my painting of the seaside town, Instow. Painted for a friend, it was meant to be a Christmas pressy, and is, I'm ashamed to say, very late. I do hope she likes it! I am very pleased with the finished work. I will post a photo when she gives the ok! :)<br />
<br />
At JASSO (the local Jewellers and Silver Smith's Association I attend) I have been learning etching techniques to help me produce another commission. It seems to be quite a long winded process at the moment but I'm sure that will get quicker as I go along. I'm etching a design on to a small shallow dish. It's so exciting to see an idea that was sketched out on paper only a few months ago now developing into a 3D piece. I can't show you pictures of that either, as the recipients might see and the surprise would be ruined! Sorry about that!!!<br />
<br />
Finally a little word on my studio. There are still more boxes of bit and bobs to be taken over and sorted but I am pleased to report that I have been able to do some work in there, and mighty comfortable it is too! Here are some earrings and bracelets that I've made this week using the most beautiful pearls. Done, boxed and now for sale in No Two Things.<br />

My sister has been gently encouraging me to write a little more on my blog, rather that just posting pics; so here goes!<br />
I'm hoping it will be a bit more interesting to you lovely people on the world wide web and will help me focus my thoughts and be a bit more productive.<br />
I have so many ideas and possibilities running around in my little nogin; add to that the attempts to make a small income...or at least break even and I find myself running backwards and forwards and achieving very little.<br />
This week is shaping up to having a number of things to focus on. I have a seascape to complete, my new studio to finish moving in to and a number of silver projects which need to be made.<br />
Please wish me luck and if you'd like to hear more do follow me.<br />

Like me, she's a bit of a Harry Potter fan,</div>

so the inscription seemed appropriate.</div>

I've been having a lovely time making these pretty bracelets using my silver flowers and shells to make them really special. Using semi precious beads gives them a lovely quality and means that no two bracelets are ever the same.<br />

At the beginning of the week there was definitely a touch of spring in the air and I felt inspired!!!<br />
Now it's grey and sludgy outside but I still have my everlasting daffs! :)<br />

I've spent this month adding a few more paintings on to Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/CharlieDaviesDesigns<br />
It takes me ages to sort out the computer stuff, so I'm really looking forward to getting back to actually doing some more paintings.<br />
