A fine line between Comedy and Blasphemy

This morning I got more of a tweaker cleaning bug. It started while I was vacuuming the living room and I moved the Lovesac to clean under it. I noticed now the living room has nice open space, but the patio was a bit cluttered and dirty.So then I proceeded to throw old plants away, clean and rearrange a little, then hose the whole thing down. Of course I couldn’t stop there. I did the same downstairs, repotted some plants, and generally tidied up. It is amazing what half an hour will do. I think I am going to the beach this afternoon, after seeing Clerks II. Review to come.

I also have a couple rings I am making.

The orbs on each side will have some texture to them.

Here is a profile view

This one, which is smaller and designed for a woman, has an Purple CZ on one side and a light blue one on the other.

This gives an idea of the depth of it.

Both of them need to have the gaps filled with slip, then need to be sanded and smoothed before firing.

That is going to be the color of the week.

My next metalclay project is a lock locket for my friend Jaime. She just celebrated a year anniversary and it has been amazing to watch her grow and change. It is going to make it like a Tiffany locket, but with a heart embossed onto it. While I have some great ideas off my own, I do love doing things personalized for other people.

I love the terminal and writing work arounds. As frustrating as they can get at times, the knowledge and payoff is so neat.

iam8bit show tonight. Get to see some friends work, plus a lot of other geeky stuff.

Back to the coding.
