Studio Pictures!

I have pictures of my new studio up on Flickr. They can be found here.

Done! (Well Almost)

My hose came today, so I rushed out to Lowe’s to get a couple of screws and a canister of propane. Tonight after dinner, we went down and attached my new GTT Lynx to the table, connected everything, tested the connections for leaks, tightened up the connections, and turned on the torch!

Closer and Closer

Tuesday was tax day, and my mother stayed home to do her taxes. I kept her company while making a mock-up of her mother’s day present. It’s going to be a nice necklace. I made a second mock-up last week, just to be sure I knew what I was doing. Yesterday I started on the [...]

Landscape Bead

I made this bead on Tuesday and wore it to church on Wednesday. Nobody in bell choir seemed to notice, and there wasn’t a good time to bring attention to it. But, when I went in for Wednesday Night Supper, my mother wanted to look at it and Martha noticed the bead too. She got [...]
