I dropped off this little guy off this morning to be cast in brass.  We will see how it looks a few days from now!

I’ve been working on a daily photoshop project for the dinosaw charm the whole month of October.  It was definitely a trial, but it made me a bit faster with the photoshop.

Here are my favorites;)

This weekend, we went on a very short trip to my grandparent’s campsite for a little campfire, and chitchat.  We ended up helping with a little bit of the yard work, blowing leaves from the hillside.  I’m feeling the symptoms of a cold, which I don’t know if it is due to an actual cold, or because I was blowing around dirt and leaves for an hour activating my sinuses…  Either way it was a fun trip.

We went grocery shopping too!  My main goal was to get a pumpkin to carve.

This guy was keeping an eye on the neighborhood last night.

Yummy curry, and salt pumpkin seeds!

Glorious campfire.

getting there…

Fun bracelets I made for the store!  They are $15 each;)

 The rings are still being finished, and the sterling has a patina, that’ll be less intense in color.  

 This is my latest obsession.  I had a small piece of wax, and I started carving a little boat.  I’m planning on giving it two tiny paddles, and it’ll hang as a pendant.  Yay!

2nd class of wax carving class was last night.  I finished the first ring, and there will be a sterling casting of it to post next week!

Here’s what it looked like in wax.

Here is what I’ll be working on next (hopefully).

It’s a pendant project, but I’ve wanted to make something like this for a while.  If I manage to make it, I’ll wear it all the time!  My favorite part is the idea of being able to change the photo/art in the frame.

I love fall, and at the same time it means I am bound to get a cold eventually.  What I didn’t realize was just how fast I’d get sick!  I think the sudden change of weather maybe helped a bit too.

Either way, I have been trying with a little help from Theraflu to knock it out!

I’ve been putting whipped cream on top, which makes anything better(especially Theraflu).  Try it, it made the lemon flavor smell and taste like lemon custard pie!

These are necklaces I made at work yesterday.  The little jars contain  rocks, and the brass tag was stamped with the name.  I’ve always had a love for things with tags, especially with natural things.

Here are some brooches in progress.

Here is Mr. Chester C. Charlston.

I made him from scrap fabric, and he protects a thumb drive that contains music that we have been sending back and forth with friends.

Here’s Mr. Charlston without the instagram app.
