Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? It is ages since I blogged, we had a lovely quiet Christmas just Michael and I at home, but we did spend a week in Malta at the begining of December, and enjoyed the lovely sunshine, it was so lovely to walk around without a coat.
I made all my Christmas cards by November, and had them all writen and put in envelopes all ready for our return from Malta, so at least I did not have a pre Christmas rush.
It is now back to work and classes.
Our card craft group have saved 10,860 Wish tokens, so we are hoping to get given a portion of the £35.000 on offer, which would be great to beable to buy lots od dies etc.

This as a Rhea Egg which took me 9 months to make, and has about 25,000 tiny rhinestones stuck on a first cut out design, cut with a dentist drill, This is the front view.

This is the inside with a goose which has been decoupaged and spins around when the top finial is turned.

Here you can see the back of the egg, again decorated with rhinestones, I took this egg to Japan with me when I was invited to go and demonstrate twice in one year, all expences paid, great fun.

This is the side of the egg, as you can see it is a shell design cutout and decorated.

I have not to get busy with samples and Ideas for the craft club, so will finish now until the next time.
