Taking jewelery this semester...

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 11, 2007, 7:58 PM
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]

Hey Chris, nice to see you're still about. Metals huh, you're gonna love it. I have recently started to incorporate metal into my chokers. Mostly working with copper and aluminum. I really want to have a peek at your beads....especially the crystals. Naturally, there more of a demand for those. Let me know if you have any free time. Secondly, if you ever want to try your hand at carving jewelry trinkets, I have a large pile of soapstone. I would be happy to part with a few pieces to aid someone with a genuine interest in it. I could go on and on here, but I'll leave these thoughts with you for now.........ttfn!

Oh yeah, just haven't had time for much and have had to cut back on the web a lot. I bought some brass for my first project because I thought it would look nice with copper. Copper is surprisingly nice to work with. I have to admit, I'm not loving it as much as I thought it would be, but then there is so much to learn.

Oh gosh, soapstone! I'll keep that in mind. Bud says I have too many hobbies and he'll die if I pick up something new :-)

I bought a sewing machine btw, a Kenmore, still practicing with that. Can a budgie costume be too far behind? :-D
