Art Bling!

Well hello! So like I said earlier this week I've been busy.  This week I took on the challenge of jewelry making.  Earlier this month I grabbed a ring making course in Jamaica Plain's own Stonybrook Fine Arts center and metal shop.  These guys are amazing- and bonus- one of the owners happened to go to college with me (small world huh?).
I now have a vast respect for anyone working with metals... while I liked the torches and pounding things with hammers and texture tools... I gotta say the measuring to the enth millimeter is... well let's say it was a learning experience and I'm fine not having to file anything again.
I may try some metal clay however... think that may be more my medium.

Looks Good Mumma! No bones tho...
ANYhow. I've started to play with glass and sterling coated brass and so far finding it rewarding. :)
A few days ago my mail inspector checked out my supplies to be sure they were in order- and voila! Results! I'm really liking the texture of the glass making each piece completely different and unique.
Hope you like em, they'll be on sale soon! :)
