This week so far - March 8th

The rest of last week went well. I had some time to heal and I signed up for some workshops at the Fraser Valley Bead fest. I'm pretty excited about learning some new techniques and getting some questions answered. I read a lot of books and magazines to find new techniques but I find that sometimes they leave out important steps. Also books and mags can't give you feed back on why something didn't turn out quite like you thought. Some times it is something so simple like the way you are holding a hammer or the saw.
I'm attending workshops on etching, enameling, soldering and resin. The best part is that I have an excuse to get a torch!!! I was going to get one at some point anyways but now I need one. The scary part is that I'm a bit of a klutz so I think a trip to get a fire extinguisher is also in order. The workshops don't take place until the end of the month so I won't be able to report back on how it went for awhile.
So without further ado... Here's what I've been working on lately...
