Soldered jewelry

I took this class last Sunday and look at everything I made! The class was a one day event at the Spruill Center for the Arts here in Atlanta. They have all sorts of classes and range for 2 months to one day. Great place! Anyway, i made these awesome items! The first was the set with the reddish-orange pieces. Not bad. Then I did the clear glass piece with the tiny paper scenes on each side. Very fun. The other ladies in class mostly made floral, pretty items but I went with funny. Next was the heart that is made with 2 pieces of glass soldered together. Then in a quick flash i made the last 2 and my tecnique got better and better.

It runs in the family

I don't think I really need to explain any further than "It runs in the family" but I will. Many of you have seen the ridiculous get-ups and poses I put my animals through. Every Christmas, festivals, etc. they get to see Santa or wear dumb outfits. Well, these are my brother's cats Chloe and Bailey. Yes they are related. This may be their first professional photo shoot but I hope it isn't their last! Oh, and that quilt they're on is the one I made for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas.
