My jewelry and metals class resumes next week. Right now I'm working on making jump rings for a chain project. The jump rings have to be soldered together, so I imagine that will be quite a task.

I hope something good is offered in the spring/summer term. I feel like writing essays again!

My picture 'West of the Fields' was recently featured in an "Under Appreciated Equine Art" feature, which is really cool, check it out - [link]

I'm back at school on Wednesdays, learning about metals and jewelery! We'll be doing sawing, filing, and a little welding too with Presto-Lite acetylene torches. I'm not going to have much time to do anything else...this is a pretty intense class. Unfortunately I'll be away from DA most of the time! You can see what I'm up to by following my art LJ at [link]

I wrote my mid-term on Monday. There's just five classes left after today. Holy moly! This is the fastest that an art class has ever gone by for me.

I'm terribly behind on DA. I see all the lovely things that everyone's been up to Please know that I'm still watching, even if I'm not commenting

So, while most people are celebrating end of the term, I'm just beginning! You can check it out on my art LJ: [link] Another three credits in the BFA bucket.

I'm also doing a craft show on May 26 and another one on June 16. I'm really excited about those - here's hoping good sales don't just happen at Christmas

Dear friends and watchers, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. My own was filled with much visiting, a few turkey dinners and the company of family and friends. I'm really looking forward to 2007!
