Christmastime Is Here...
We went to an art show last night, at the studios where I'm taking my smithing class...all the art studios in the complex were open so we could cruise around...we found a really rockin' blue ceramic bowl and a funky night light that I'll HAVE to show you...it's gonna be a funky piece of wall art for my studio...We are obviously not part of the 'it' crowd, there were some young Austinites in one studio that looked like they belonged in a NYC loft and at a party with Carrie Bradshaw...very toity...selling glass fused belt buckles for $125 a piece..gimme a break...
Is it feeling like Christmas where you are? It sure does here...its 80, sunny and I'm in shorts, watching football (Texas is winning 55-3)and we're workin in the garden...typical Christmas in Austin...you REALLY have to like hot weather to live in this town...I'm not complainin', tho...it's gonna go all the way down to 50 later this week...oooooo.....
So yesterday I spent all day silversmithing and made lots of stuff, but I'm still experimenting with some 'stopper' options..there are so many, and I hope to offer a variety to ya'll so you can find what you like...needless to say, none are using gold - I have to know what I'm doing before I break out the gold, but down the road - oh yeah...
Brian picked up a mannequin (partial face)so I can shoot pics with the earrings and you can see how they hang...however, the mannequin is about 75% life-size, so the earrings will look a little bigger than normal, but at least it'll give you an idea of what's going on ...(Texas just scored, its 63-3 now...sorry Mark!)...
If I get some stuff completed today, I'll post it for ya..otherwise I may just hop on the torch and make a bead or two...I'm in the mood..
