torch-fired enamel

Jewelry components in progress:
Upside-down hearts for earwires, enamel blossoms. Assembly by riveting comes next.

Paula in July

This month I've had

some daily adult "me" time free from parenting obligations...

some unexpected extra time to spend with my husband...

time to take a class about chain-making...

&

two back-to-back unplanned opportunities that were too good to pass up involving positive changes to my art studio space.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

so this month I

like the parks and recreation department...

am thankful for good doctors, modern medicine, and good benefits...

am still a bit scared of my torch...

&

hope I can work hard enough to bring this plan from concept into existence.

Do you like my hat?
