It feels like it's been raining for an eternity! There's not much time to go out with the camera, and the woods are so waterlogged at the moment, I fear I would sink into the mire and never be found if I dared venture out there! (although admittedly, the greenery is LUSH!)
So, confined the the studio, I've been concentration on my piercing work instead: this is a new venture for me, I'm in the process of developing a new line that is both a mixture of etching and piercing and purely piercing. This takes time; these few pieces are the product of hours upon hours of work, carefully drilling and then threading the piercing saw blade through each tiny hole and sawing the shape: repeat, repeat, repeat. The larger magpie and hare pieces took around 8-12 hours to complete: the smaller are between 1-2 hours.
