Sunset Superb!






Tonight we had the most amazing sky that I just had to share it with you!  To the East was a rainbow and to the West was the setting sun.  So I decided to combine them with a potato pendant I made recently and play around with a collage in Picassa.  I am a real novice at this, but hey, I had some fun!





The top one is lighter, the one below more dramatic. 
But with a sky like that you can't go too far wrong I don't think.





I'll let you into a little secret..........my son-in-law wanted to lend a hand and painted this pendant for me and so I was pretty chuff to find I had a piece of  pure silk cord that matched perfectly!  Good teamwork:)

  16. Hi Cassandra! Thank you for dropping by, and you are right, it is certainly unique as are all my pieces of jewellery, because a potato has a mind of it's own, and will never be the same twice!
