Success which was survival gone too far! My ode to the New Pornographers song, “All The Things That Go To Make Heaven And Earth”.
So I’m back to report that I had fabulous success with the fine silver fusing class. I’m now the proud new owner of a torch, kiln brick, strike plate and ball peen hammer!
The torch [...]

Playing With Fire
Hello my darlings. Just popping in with a note to express my mounting excitement over the fact that this very evening I will be, literally, playing with fire.
I’m off to my long awaited (since my birthday, in June…) fine silver fusing class! I’ll be torching and fusing and hammering away on metal for two purely joyful hours. [...]

Into The Great Wide Open
Ahhh…getting out of town. We’re heading to the woods for the weekend, and the weather is flawless. Flawless! Luckily, we’re not tent camping. I tried my hand at camping last year and I have to say, I love it and hate it at the same time. I more love it, but I found it really [...]

Back to Work!
Not too much to report today, back to work at the day job and coming down off of a very relaxing and lovely weekend. Friday didn’t amount to much, G was very sick with some sort of stomach bug and I was feeling a little yuck myself. Saturday was a nice relaxing day at home, [...]

More Fun With Shrinky Dinks
Second attempt with the dinks. I’m even more skeptical that these babies will become a viable tool for me. This time, I used the version of dinks that you can run through your inkjet printer. I went out and purchased some Chinese Indigo Clip Art by Dover, and manipulated the images to change colors and refine them [...]

Experiments from the Liebling Lab (a.k.a. My Kitchen…)
Muahahaaaaha! Muaaaaahahahaha! Muaaaaaahahahahahhahahahah! Ahem. Okay, that’s my best “mad scientist” impersonation. Not so much? Yeah…I know.
Anybody that knows me well will attest that I’m all about learning new things and expanding my horizons. I’m also impatiently desperate to gain the skills I need to craft some truly original work, and wish I could condense all the time and [...]

Summer Goes By Too Fast
Don’t you just feel like summer flies by too quickly? I love summer, always have. Especially now that I’m working full time, trying to get my jewelry sales off the ground and am not enrolled in classes at school. That will all change come the end of July, as I will go back to school [...]

Wow! I’m LAZY Today!
So…It’s 2:56 pm and I’m still hanging out in my robe. The downstairs neighbors are apparently gone, which resulted in zero thumping, zero slamming items and doors around like pure cavemen this morning. Needless to say, sleeping in was not a problem! Ahhhhhh…
I’m liking this. The biggest thing I’ve done today is to get off [...]

Toronto Trip
Just thought I’d fill you all in on our recent trip to Toronto, Ontario. It was fantastic. We stayed at the Pantages Hotel, a gorgeously modern 4-star hotel just one block from Yonge & Dundas Square (basically, the Times Square of Toronto). We had everything right outside our front door, and enjoyed fabulous shopping, dining and [...]
