I know it's been a while.......
May 17 2009I know it's been a while since I last blogged ( hangs head in shame ) I don't know if it was a delayed reaction having recovered from bronchitis in the past month, but I felt like I was hit by a truck for a week. Just too tired to do anything. Now that I feel a lot perkier and raring to go, I'm packing up to go back to Snow Farm which I've anxiously waited for. I have 7 students in my Jewelry/Metalsmithing class which is very large for me for a Snow Farm class. Car is slowly being packed and I hope I don't leave anything behind. I joke I bring everything but the kitchen sink when I do a workshop. Since I operate on the assumption that whether school or studio I'm going to be teaching at will not have what I specifically need, I bring everything I will need and more. Sometimes I bring too much. Knowing Snow Farm's metal studio by heart, I know what to bring. I gave the metals studio a good cleaning and organizing a few weeks ago, and having plumbed the depths of the metal studio, I know where everything is, once and for all.
I bought a lot of steel rods and steel tubing and hope to get started on Bird Woman, a steel sculpture for the Sculpture Garden for the 75th Annual Craftsmen Fair in Newbury, NH, Aug 1-9. Here's a picture of a mockup I made to figure out how I want Bird Woman to look like. I will make prototypes of projects if I'm not sure how it will come out or look like. Comes in handy when I make wedding rings for clients and I'll make a silver prototype ring so client can see how their rings will look like before I do it in gold or other metal.
I'll post new blogs while I'm at Snow Farm.
