Etched pieces

I have been working on some more etched pieces and am pretty pleased how they came out. I liked using the torch on these as well, for color and patina. It is fun to try to get the color  where you want it, sometimes I amaze myself and it actually works as planned.

I plan on working in my studio tonight with some of these pieces, maybe tomorrow I can share them with you.
Have a great Friday!

A little torch time

This is the first time in a week that I have been able to get into my studio, I needed to just sit and relax a bit and wanted to play with my little torch. Lots of trial and error but I did solder some little links together to make a pair of earrings. They may look a little rough but it is a start. Now that I did this I really want to make myself a bracelet. I did not burn the house down so that was good.

While I played my sister Susan made dinner...now that is something I could get use to! Shrimp marinara, herb bread and spinach salad.

We will be getting a new little addition to our family....Oh Lord no, I am not pregnant...way to old for that! We are getting this little darlin in about 5 more weeks.


My son has already named him "Morgan" as in Captain. We already have a Sam Adams and Jack Daniels so it is a theme we need to stay with....and no we are not lushes either! Isn't he just so cute!
