ring cycle

wire and fibre ring: poppy


purple poppy: wire and fibre needlefelted ring


 


Finishing a project off is as good as starting a new one!


I'm really pleased with this ring. It's an almost first for me in wire crochet and a continuation in exploring a new technique to add into my wire pieces. This bracelet was the first one (and it sold!) and I hope to explore some more in less functional, more artistic projects (though I hope that all my pieces get worn sometimes). Maybe I'll have a whole bouquet of these little rings soon!

March 26th is Purple Day!

purples purse charm

Yes, March 26th is Purple Day! Wear your purple with pride and raise awareness for those living with epilepsy.

This is the second annual Purple Day run by the Canadian Epilepsy Alliance and was started by a nine year old girl from Nova Scotia, who herself deals with the condition on a daily basis.

So far I've twittered about it, I've blogged it and have had it published as my first article as a non-fiction content writer for my local neighbourhood website (please check out the links there for more info on dealing with epilepsy and first aid tips).

... and I've made myself a little purple ribbon on a pin to wear today to raise awareness and let others know that they are not alone.
