Here I am! Really!

I apologize for creating a blog and then not even posting on it! Ugh! How lame!
Well, now that summer is here, I will try to be more diligent about posting so that it makes it worthwhile to even have the blog.
Blogs are tricky.  How do I know that anyone is even paying attention?  Then again, do I sound dorky when I'm writing? Etc, etc, etc....
I am so much better at pictures anyways.

So I just finished my 3 semester of Jewelry Making/Metalsmithing and I feel super charged!!  For one, this summer, I have a studio that I can actually work in.  With my soldering table and a bench for my tools and ideas, I'm all ready to create!  Yesterday, I made these all at home! That's a wonderful feeling :)



So it looks like I'm getting the hang of this stuff.  Sure is cool. Even when I have to work harder at getting firescale off my pieces because I held the fire on them too long! Oh, the learning process!!
It's all worth it.   I worked on these earrings the other night and it turned out I was making them just for Me!!  Talk about falling in love with a piece of jewelry.


So here's a bit for now. I'll post the pieces I make in my class soon too.  But in order to create, I need to be off this machine! LOL!
