So- i finally got up the nerve and opened my Bronzclay and started playing. I killed a whole 200gram package (the photo only shows about 50-75 grams worth of goodies) It is so freeing to have that much material to play with.... Now, if i can just figure out a way to convince myself to not be such a tight ass with the PMC... To the right of my bronze pieces, those are glass pendants i've been working on using 'found' images of fairies, goddesses and the like and just almost out of the photo in the top left corner, are my watch gears- i've become almost obsessed with this SteamPunk thing.. it's like victorian gothic with an edge. It's running, jumping, climbing trees Victorian goth! :) (eddie izzard reference for those with a 'huh?' look on their faces)
Patrick got his plate last week- i guess that would have been 11/25.. i'm WAY behind- but i also only go on tuesdays pretty much. I have a routine down, Trivia on Tuesdays, Studio on Thursdays (although i've been terribly bad and haven't been on thursday for a while) I used to have Bellydance class on Wednesday but after i ganked my knee up for the umteenth time, i decided that i needed to lay off it for a while.
But, i digress... Patrick's plate party was great- Andrew made an appearance- haven't seen him as much as i used to as of late. Steve came out- which i have to give him credit for, he does usually come play trivia with us and he helped us get the bonus question right that won us first place a few weeks ago. Patrick's mom and dad were there. The photo to the right is Patrick contemplating how his pint glass could possibly be empty and his mom just laughing.
I had a great Wednesday- i was off work (because i'm working this weekend) so i had lunch with my darling husband, drug him through Michaels (but didn't buy anything because they were being stupid and had long lines and were closing registers!). Then I went to the clock shop beside Chou's to see if i could buy some broken movements to strip the gears from and they gave me two for *free* and told me to come back any time for more! And i got a neat carved wood bead to make my nanny a necklace for christmas at Chous and then scored this neat wool at Tuesday Morning. I'm going to make some mermaid falls with it, i think.
So, yeah. that's what i've been doing.. Not too exciting. I wish i could show off more stuff i've made but i haven't really been able to spend too much time at my studio. I was over there wednesday for a while and i cleaned up so i can actually work in my jewelry area and i made two necklaces that were comissions for christmas presents. I have to go over and finish the piece i'm making for the Employee holiday party gift swap. There needs to be about 40 hours in the day.. i might make a dent in what i need to do if there was just more time...

I want to go to your plate party! That is cool you are even doing that. I had thought you only liked Michelob for beer. So now you have to drink Bud, Bud light, Coors light, Guinness, Tsingtao, whatever, there are so many beers--I cannot imagine how long it would take to get thru the 200 or however many beers there are to get the plate.
OMG- we make fun of the people that drink Bud Light at the Saucer. There are about 250 beers on the menu, so i can drink 200 good beers without ever touching the crappy beers.. Mmmmm.. trappist ales... beer made by monks seems to be the best. :)
