I dunno, are people afraid to show work in progress any more?
Its all glam and gloss and finished product.
Yes its wonderful to see finished product, and frankly If you can figure out how to recreate what I made from a few work in progress photos, then Im sure you would have gotten there with out them.
Am I right?
I love my work in progress, heck life is all about work in progress isn't it?
besides if I don't show WIP pictures, I would never get anything posted--I have hours and hours a head of me before I have new product ready for glam shots.
I cant wait!

bronzclay batch
Here they are, fresh out of the kiln.
Yeah!
the large greek piece in the middle broke, but because of the style all I needed to do was drill another stringing hole.
The bar above that was not as flexible as I had hoped and I snapped it, so instead of a bail for a large rock it will become a pair of earrings.
Im looking forward to finishing these up, and having some new jewelry to show off!!

bronze clay refined and ready to fire
I have been jonesing to play with this for soo long.
I realized its been over a year since I have done any metal clay at all.
These went into the kiln yesterday. I had some mis-fire issues, but those have been happily resolved, and these are on their happy way to sinter-land.
1 more hour at this point of holding at 1550, then cool down time.
I should be able to open the box before bed time.
I already have plans for faux bone beads and turquoise nuggets and....

Too darn hot!
Its too hot to be inspired by anything other than really good air conditioning at the moment.
This is supposed to be one of the worst weeks we have this entire summer, and yet this entire summer has been nothing but record breaking heat.
So its gross hot out, what do I choose to do?
Play with my kiln and figure out why its giving me pF 1 on ramp up when there are no power failures, and its not in cool down mode (which is what this code is supposed to mean).
My thoughts will be with the bomb pops and the AC vents!

Design influences
Attik
This is a design shop, back in 2000, I was on their website daily, I love their over the top layered look of things
And its fabulous because they also have brilliantly clean clear design at the same time.
