We have actually been too busy to write and so I hope to get
caught up on a really busy and fun week. Deciding to put on a private show we
got permission from the park and then spent most of the week organizing it,
making new rings, and learning how to make a new bracelet style.
It’s a good time to do indoor stuff as the weather has been
extremely cold. Earlier we did have a couple of days of warm weather and so we
went sheephead fishing with the Happy Hour bunch at Goose Island State Park.
While the fish were there they had quit biting and we had a tough bite, (dead bait). Again Renita
out fished me and we still caught enough for dinner, ( let me tell you fresh grilled
sheephead is great)!
Our mail arrived and besides the usual junk we had finally
gotten an ordered DVD on making a new style bracelet. It was so inspiring that
I had to make one and a few days later one turned into three. I also had to
make another style bracelet and so I taught two of my advanced students while I
made mine.
Renita hasn’t been still herself and she finished grinding
and polishing a stunning Condor Agate cabochon. It turned out so beautiful that
she simply had to wrap it in gold. Her work is always exquisite and this Condor
agate pendant is not for sale. (nfs). Instead it will go into our private collection
as we are really collectors first and so the first piece from a new stone is
almost always kept before making more to pay the cost of our materials).
Meanwhile other artists and crafters had been coming to the
door and asking us if there was room in the show. Finishing up our pieces
tomorrow is show time, but that’s for the next blog entry. Clear skies
