Tarka

This news is a little late in coming, but my beautiful friend and feline companion died on 5th March. It has been so heartbreaking for me, as he'd been with me through thick and thin for 19 years. He certainly lived life to the full, having clocked up plenty of air miles through his residences in the UK, Portugal and Italy! He had been suffering from some kind of upper-respiratory tumour, but put up a brave battle right up to the end. He is sadly missed by his dad and his feline companion Misi. One of a kind, Tarka... gentle, intelligent, handsome. Simply the best.

Maya

The Etsy Metal Street Team have had a Secret Santa present swap this year. I was paired up with Kathryn Riechert to make her present. Kathryn has a beautiful young sphynx cat called Maya who has won over the hearts of the whole of the Etsy Metal Team amongst many others. I thought it would be nice to represent this lovely little cat in a piece of jewellery, and this is what I came up with. Kathryn and Maya seem pleased with their present!

This wonderful treasury made it onto the front page while I wasn't looking!
