A necklace commission I made for a US customer who adores thistles: it started with a Victorian silver thistle flower charm, I made a recycled silver flower bud & thistle leaf,added a facetted peridot & fluorite (I think the natural stripes echo tartan just a little)& a clover-shaped charm holder☘️ :

Not my aim-my aim is to generate a small income with what I make while I’m still too unwell to write my books.

I’m 54 and I honestly think this is as joyful now as it was when I was 4, in 1976:

Interesting-as a mulch? To protect against weeds & keep moisture in the soil ? Do you crush them first?

Yes most are ill with it here too, their leaves turn brown & shrivel up from July onwards, but this one still produces beautiful big seeds.

I have a handbag from one of the Florence leather markets that my Mum bought me in 1998-it’s like a conker-coloured egg.

Autumnal leaves of many different colours being preserved in glycerin to keep them from drying and decaying
