So i have a cold i have had it all week and its getting in the way of me getting stuff done *sigh* and the weather's changed. its no longer shorts and sandals weather, more like jeans and a coat weather. so all thats a bit of a bummer but onto happy things. there are some nice things i would like to talk about. the first is that at this moment i am eating a cinnamon roll, a real cinnamon roll with icing and everything, and i am eating it without fear of a headache afterwards or stomach issues because it has no gluten! (although now that i think about it it probably has some milk but i'm going to ignore that for now...) turns out that a local gluten free bakery is less than 10 minutes from where i live. its called Mariposa bakery. they make all gluten free bake goods, that are good. they do a really good focaccia. the cinnamon roll is good too and they even do a bake your own set. I also had their tea cookies which were fantastic. so i'm quite lucky and i can guarantee that this will become a weekly destination. I'm excited to try all there stuff including their pies and cakes.
we have also moved on in classes, we are really working on the projects i want to be working on. working on something that you really care about, makes a huge difference. the bank box is coming along well I have made the three plant shapes and am starting on setting the amber. heres a photo of the amber arranged on the shapes as they will be set in the final piece.
There is also small loops on the end now that is not in the photo which allow a space for a chain . i’m going to start the vessel shapes next!
before the bank project got into full swing just to keep myself amused i was working on two small pieces. which are now finished and ready to be worn. the first one is a kind of fun necklace using up some of the extra pearls from a old project and the second is a ring. this ring will be in the upcoming ring show that is being held at CCA called 360. this ring will be one of (hopefully ) three hundred and sixty rings. thought i would give you a few photos of these too.
my other classes are going well too, I would love to give you update on the table but there is none thanks to the cold. (hopefully I will make some progress this week) I have a essay due next week for english and one for media history a week after that. so I’m getting my typing fingers ready!
until next time :)
