Pattern in the works!

That's right! I'm working on my first pattern/tutorial. I am currently drawing the pieces for a tiny and adorable owl. I want it to fit in the palm of your hand. So, for the first readers of my blog you will have a pattern of mine to sew!

No Pictures Today...

Today was an interesting day. I learned how to MIG weld! It was so cool! I have a huge project to do for my sculpture class that requires welding. Its an expressive/curvilinear line sculpture that has to be at least 5 feet in one direction and its due monday. SCARY! Other than that i'm working on cleaning up my wisdom tooth (that I had removed in the 9th grade and have kept in a box since) for a ring i'm making. I plan on setting a 3pt. diamond into it and making the acutal ring out of fine silver. My brooch hasn't changed much, i haven't really felt like working on my metals classwork lately. Well thats enough for tonight.

My First Post

So this is my First post. I've decided to create a blog because I frequent so many blogs of fellow crafters and I thought i'd jump on the bandwagon. I really want to post pictures of my work from school (like sculptures, drawings, jewelry, etc.), my stuffies, my finds from thrifting, and whatever else pops into my head. For tonight I will post pics of my latest jewelry casting project. This is a very special piece. Why? When I was carving the wax for the piece (a brooch) 2 nights ago I dropped my scalpel on the floor and when I picked it up I stabbed myself in the the knuckle. Well lasts night trip to the local intermed got me all fixed up. I may have nicked a tendon but without opening up my knuckle i'm unsure. This brooch is going to be awesome! Things are always better when a little blood goes into them.
