A Quickie

I’ve been working on another couple of posts about blogging for the Artists Online Series and hope to get them posted in the next day or two. However, I’m on a deadline this week so I thought I’d just post a quick image to tide you over. I need to spend the evening in the studio – I’m making some jewellery for my brother’s wedding at the weekend, it seems to be coming up alarmingly fast.

I adore mortar and pestles (although I can never remember which is which) and often use them in my work; I’ve done various pieces where grinding things down was an integral part of the process. This one was shot in the window of the studio I rented before I decided that I worked better from home. I love the grey tones in this shot – I haven’t done anything to it, it’s just how the light was that day.

OK, enough talk of studios, it’s way past time for me to get into mine!
