In the 20-plus years I’ve been making silver jewellery about things in the (mostly) Australian Landscape, we’ve done quite a bit of travelling.  Mike has taken thousands of photos (as have I) and I’ve filled many, many journals with sketches, notes and ideas.

In the late 1970’s (that’s more years ago than I care to think about!) I co-authored Begged, Borrowed & Stolen, a book of Irish session tunes used by both beginners and more seasoned musicians.  I believe 10,000 copies have been sold in various places around the world and vastly more have been photocopied.  BB&S is also known as ‘the orange book’, due to its luridly coloured cover.

Here is the story of how it got it's name.
