I’ve put a couple of new pieces into my simonewalsh.etsy.com shop tonight (or should we say this morning …).
You if you peek at my shop you will find my sterling silver cherry blossom choker, this one on a single strand of red silk. There is also another blossom choker, this one has tiny blossoms suspended from a sterling silver choker. I was clearly blossoming!!
In other news I have again been elected (unopposed!) as Newsletter Editor for the Jewellers & Metalsmiths Group of Australia – NSW. I think this is the third year now, which is mildly scary. It’s a voluntary job, but one I quite enjoy doing – even though I often struggle to find the time for the work and wonder how else it could be used!
It also means I have a position on the Co-ordinating Committee which is interesting and means I’m involved in all sorts of decisions and discussions around contemporary jewellery happenings in New South Wales and Australia.
The next issue of the newsletter, Filings, is due out in November. If you’ve got any news, opportunities, event details or articles of relevance to contemporary jewellers and metalsmiths which you’d like considered for inclusion, please let me know.
