I hadn't realised just how long it had been since I updated the blog, but just to give you an idea of what I've been up to:

Yup, it's a ring, inspired by buildings in Turkey which is also the reason for the Turquoise gemstone on top, signifying Rumi's travel from Iran (the best Turquoise was found in Iran near Khorasan) to Turkey.....

More to come soon.....
