| Introduction | My two blogs are for and about the written word and jewellery design (both mine and the world's). I've had poetry and short stories published as an iPhone application and in print) and a radio play aired on ABC's Radio National. I believe that learning never ends and creativity comes in many varieties. I have a grownup job working for a graphic design company and, when I can hoodwink time, I also moonlight with fire and silver. |

When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?
No. Eyes have gills, didn't you know that? Sheesh.
