Raspberries & Cream Golf Tee Ring


Sorry I have been so quiet for a month - I went back to the UK (from NZ) with my two kiddies to visit my family. Longest flight ever, with just a quick 2 hour rest in Hong Kong for refuelling. My kiddies were great though - not too much vomiting and any vomit made it into the bag(s) provided. Bonus! Had a brilliant time (the weather was fabulous) and we were spoilt rotten by my lovely, untiring parents.

So back to it then!

The focal point of this ring is a plastic yellow golf tee (warning - I have a whole bag of these to use up!) which is filled with shards of vintage pink glass in resin, a natural freshwater pearl and a 'stamen' of 'antiqued' sterling silver.

I have also used merino wool roving (which has been needle felted) in raspberries and cream colours, UV resin, natural rough diamonds, a plastic aquarium plant and a ring base of faux bone.

Still jet lagged though.....

Oh and I was made to watch 'Sleeping Beauty' non-stop all the way from Auckland to London. And back again. Nice.

I'm glad you had a good time with your family, but I'm so sorry about the Sleeping Beauty thing! LOL

Vicky, your use of colors is the BEST! How do you have such an awesome knack for colors?

Nice to see you back, that is a very alert-looking confection.

Thought you'd been a bit quiet. Glad you had a good trip. You almost make the vomit sound like a good thing.

Thank you Swati, Susan and Pam!

Knack for colours? I don't know - I like just bright things!

What a great looking ring!

Glad you had fun with the family :)

Any TARDIS sighting while you were in the UK?

Thanks Stevie B!
Unfortunately not - I could have used one for the journey home....
