Thanksgiving Vacation Art -- Viking Knit and Sketching
The good news and bad news about Thanksgiving is the break from the regular routine. It's not possible to work on metal clay or glass while flying or stuffing my face hundreds of miles from home. But something artistic has to happen or I get antsy. So I took along some 28 gauge Argentium sterling wire to make a Viking knit chain to go with the new resin pendant. I photographed it before with a very open, single knit chain, but I wanted a closely wired double knit chain.

Then there are the rejections, which are definitely hard on the ego. Sometimes a piece that has gotten a lot of attention can't get published, or at least takes a lot of shopping around.

Silver Clay Rings -- Strap Band and Wire
I finally got around to working on the strap band ring I made in Kate McKinnon's workshop. The band is 10 cards thick, cut as a flat strap, fired then formed, inserted into a wet clay slab. I got that much completed in class, but the ring has been sitting on my worktable for a couple of weeks.

Resin Inlay Pendant Finally Finished!
This resin inlay into silver clay project seems to have dragged on forever, but I'm thrilled to say that it is finished!! Fussy detail after detail have been attended to: replacing some syringe decoration on the drop that came off in the tumbler
