Would you like that giftwrapped?
We always end up with a small strip of super pretty paper left over on a certain size of box. I used mine this day to make Ring a Day 34!

Challenge #35
okay, confession time. This ring is not actually finished. It’s a maquette for a potential client made of pieces I had around and sticky wax. I’m hoping she goes for this variation, ’cause It thought it looked spankin’, but I don’t want to put it all together until it’s all decided (so I don’t have to take parts apart)
Challenge #36

Johnsonite Inertia Multi-Functional and Sports Flooring sample with sterling silver rivet
I picked up this great flooring sample at MECCA for a steal. If you need inspiration in Eugene, they have an ample supply on the serious cheap!

This was an old cuttlefish bone casting I did in Dayton many moons ago. It was completely unwearable too small and super sharp. I cleaned it up so it is actually a workable ring! So it was finished on Feb. 2nd, but started, eh… maybe 5-6 years ago or so. I’m hoping to get through lots of the half finished stuff I have laying around.

RAD 32 Pance!
I’ve been getting a little behind in updating my blog so you’ll get to see a whole bunch of new ones today!
Here goes!
Pance
I spent much of the day in front of the sewing maching working on a new costume piece. I finished the top, so I thought I’d throw together some pants;)
Pance in action!
The Annual Craft Center Art Show!
It’s that time again for the annual Craft Center Art Show! For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the EMU Craft Center, it is an excellent resource for art and craft instruction right here in Eugene, OR! It is located on the University of Oregon Campus at the EMU Student Union downstairs. There are some truly talented instructors in quite varied media. Once a year we put on a show of our current work at the EMU Adell McMillan Gallery upstairs. It always proves to be a great show! If you’re on campus, stop by!
Runs Monday, February 1 through March 9 in the EMU Adell McMillan Gallery University of Oregon

Sterling and Mother of Pearl Shell
I bought a big bag of these shell beads years ago with the intent of using them for an awesome bellydance costume… haven’t quite gotten around to that:/

Sterling silver with five copper enameled stars.
I vaguely remember thinking I would make ornaments for the holidays for people one year many moons ago and recently found these stars in a box.
You’re not getting your ornament.

- Finally some enamel!
It’s Tuesday! I teach an enameling class at the Craft Center tonight:) I have a few new ideas to share from this project.
It’s a gorgeous color, right? That’s because it’s leaded! *gasp!*
I usually avoid leaded enamels, but I have a few samples around and sometimes Danger is my middle name.
Okay, okay… I wetpacked, and didn’t sift, so maybe Tentative Adventure is my middle name.
