Hotter Than Hell But It Is Friday...So It's Okay!

Summer is definitely here in NOLA and although I cannot stand the heat I love the summer rains.

Sunny one minute and then the clouds provide us with shade and you hear distant thunder. Then if we are lucky it will rain and give us some relief but sometimes it just increases the humidity and NOLA becomes one big sauna!

So many things have been happening...mostly with kids but who wants to hear about that?

Today I am officially back in the studio.

Hooah!

I am making some rings that have to be enameled but I hit a wall.

Paralysis ensued and the ring sat on my bench for about two weeks! Yes...it has been that long. I think my Muse took a vacation.

It was all about choosing a color. So I decided to make myself some sample colors.

How tedious, right?

I was told that the cure for creative block was to go into the studio and start doing tedious things, i.e. make 30 pairs of ear wires. That is a cure to get unblocked for sure!

So I enameled all the colors I had on stock.

This really helped with my color block.
Something about seeing the actual color and feeling them helped me a whole lot. It was better than just looking at a color chart in a book.

Finally...the rings.

Love Me...Love Me Not

And off they go to Coq Rouge Gallery here in NOLA searching for their new love.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday.

The Risk to Bloom

It all started with an acorn button and grew from there. In an earlier post I mentioned this button swap blog hop, that I am participating in, and how I was immediately drawn to the acorn button. Every day I would hold it in my hand, feel its essence, exam it, and then put it down. This lasted for about 2 weeks. Then I remembered I had etched an oak tree on to brass when making buttons for my partner Kylie of Lotus Out Loud . And... so begins the journey of creating something with this wonderful acorn button, which only started yesterday. Haha! Etched brass was copper riveted to a piece of oak. Merci beaucoup Papi for finding some oak! I am using what Jesse taught me in his workshop . It was the first time trying his technique. It worked beautifully! The riveted brass was then captured with a piece of pierced copper. Voila! And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in...

Pepe Jump Ring Maker...New Is Not Always Better...

For the follow up (2014) on jump ring makers go here . Introducing Pepe's new AND improved Jump Ring maker... When I received my new jump ring maker I knew the new model was more compact but did not expect it to be so unstable. It was precarious but I accepted it. After all I will have jump rings galore with a single swipe! The outcome outweighed the little difference and yes...I am lazy! hahaha!!! To the bench I go to test things out. Test No. 1 The first set of jump rings turned out great! I was satisfied. ☺ I then received an email saying that the top plate (cover) that came with the system was too thick and needed to be replaced. Okay. I receive the new plate but did not test it out until some friends were over and wanted a demo. Well...it was difficult to place the handpiece collar over the plate. It did not fit over the coil holding device very well. I had to finagle it to go in ...

Wabi-Sabiness

Hola everyone! New Orleans is hunkering down because we are about to get "Wintry Mix". Whatever that means and in south Louisiana we just do not know how to drive on ice and so great havoc ensues. The city has decided to shut down. I know...it's some crazy stuff down here! Anyways... my mother saw some stacking rings I made a couple of weeks ago and requested a set. So I sat in my studio and thought about texture and a word I wanted to inscribe. I meditated, sitting there in my chair, and spinning myself in circles until I got dizzy and had to stop. Oh wait...I digress. Back to the subject. My mind has been preoccupied with wabi-sabi lately and I thought that this is just befitting. My mom is totally sabi!!! I inscribed the word sabi inside of the silver ring and thus began my journey. Sabi means (in the most simplistic definition) the beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impe...
