The icing on the cake was receiving a Highly Commended Award in Excellence in Jewellery, sponsored by the National Association of Jewellers. What an honour!</div>

I often get asked how I make the flowers in my Buttercup range black. Well, I use a chemical called liver of sulphur, which artificially oxidises silver and copper and other metals (except gold), turning them black. Although it is available in rock form which then has to be broken down and mixed with water, this is quite messy (and smelly!) so I use a brand called platinol which is ready to use (but still smelly!). Because it turns everything it touches instantly black, I have to apply it very carefully. I use a tiny brush and a very steady hand!</span></span></span><br />

Its a beautiful spot and we spotted the first of the bluebells.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just thought I would share some of my processes that I use to make my jewellery. Don't know if you ever noticed the 3 little balls in the centre of my flowers? Well, I make these individually. I find this quite therapeutic and usually make them when I'm not in the mood to make anything else but still need to be productive. It can be quite fiddly, but then again I like fiddly!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's an age old process called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_%28jewellery%29" target="_blank">granulation</a>, and it's great for using up scraps of silver that are too small to be used for anything else. Here I'm using spurs I've cut off some castings.</span></div>

Wow that month went fast! I cant believe its been over a month since I started this blog and this is only my second post. Must do better this month... My excuse is its school holidays and the kids are taking up all my time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
One exciting piece of news is that I'm having a new jewellery bench made. Its being made by the lovely Tony at <a href="http://craftbenches.co.uk/index.html">Craft Benches UK</a> and it's almost finished! Heres a sneaky peek of it still being made:</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its made from pine with a European Oak top. It truly is a bespoke desk, Tony has been fantastic! Everything I asked for, Tony very kindly obliged. He even duplicated my old peg, making an exact replica in oak! Look!</div>

Some other news is that as well as my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/sarabuk">etsy</a> shop I now have a <a href="http://www.coriandr.com/shop?shop_url=sarabuk.coriandr">Coriandr </a>shop. It's similar to etsy but is British and therefore the currency is in pounds. Etsy is American and I think the currency was offputting to British customers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well I really am out of practice because its taken me over an hour to write this post. I'll say good night now, see you next time...</div>

Thought I'd join the 21st century and create a blog. So many new things have happened recently I feel a need to share, so here goes!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've recently opened an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6882431">etsy </a>shop to sell my jewellery, the address is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6882431">sarabuk.etsy.com</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The etsy shop is the culmination of 2 years studying for a Foundation Degree, not in making jewellery, but in learning how to have a successful jewellery business. I've actually been making for about 10 years and selling to friends and family. About 2 years ago a local shop, <a href="http://www.artparade.co.uk/">Art Parade</a> in Saltaire, West Yorkshire, started to sell my jewellery and it suddenly felt real! I've passed my course now so its time to concentrate on making a go of it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My end of year exhibition was held at Dean Clough Gallery in Halifax, West Yorkshire. You can see our website <a href="http://www.artfullyadorned.moonfruit.com/">here</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bye for now...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
