And the thunder rolls...


The storm has been going for over 20 minutes now and still the thunder and lightening are constant. The driveway is a flood and although the rain has eased enough to see over the city, there is still a massive grey curtain over the mouth of the derwent river. The lights in here are going funny and I'm pretty sure that we'll lose electricity if this keeps up.

All I can think is that the beach stormwolfe wants to get married on tomorrow will be washed away by the time we get there tomorrow evening! On the plus side, the weather will have blown itself out by then, fingers crossed! For now it's just spectacular. Except for the ambulance lights going across the bridge. That's not cool.

In other news, I've uploaded a piece to be judged in the Swarovski Crystal beading design awards being run by www.crystalpark.com.au and when they've finished making sure it conforms to all their rules, they will upload it so the general public will be able to vote on it for the Monthy Voter prize which consists of $100 of Swarovski products. WOOT! It would almost pay for the cost of making the coronet! That's it above here. Yes I made that from scratch! I'm reall proud of it. There's a few pics of it on deviantart, both the old pearled version and the new all-crystal version, but the one I've uploaded to the competition site is called Regal Coronet and is much bigger than the pic here. The competition allows for more than one submission so I'm thinking of adding a pair of earrings and maybe even a foot charm if i can afford it!

The rain has pretty much stopped now. But the thunder rolls...
