I am horrible and I know it. It’s been 20-some-odd days since I posted. It’s just been hella busy. I’m still slowly, but surely, creating the next piece for the Alzheimer’s auction… which might I add is next week? I really need to kick ass on this if I’m going to finish.
As you can see, it’s almost complete already. I just have to finish foiling and solder it all up. A couple of hours left on this project and I’ll be ready to move on to the next.
Please don’t think I’ve been THAT lazy though. Believe me, there have been plenty of things that have gone out in the last month. And last weekend, I even took a bead making class… which was really hot.
HOT seems to be the theme of my work lately. When I left the bead class after sitting over an open flame all day, I was drenched in sweat and so were my classmates. It has been boiling here (at least compared to what we’re used too) and it’s not helping me get much done.
Last night I was out there for several hours grinding and foiling but I had to keep taking breaks to cool down. I’d walk back into the house, flop down in my lazy boy, turn on the fan and give my roommate that “Ughhh!” look. Too bad the trailer doesn’t have an air conditioner… wouldn’t that be nice! It won’t get A/C though… it may have internet, phone and everything else, but I think A/C is one step too far even for me. Besides with the kiln, lights, tools and everything else running I’m pretty sure I’m already maxing out the amount of power I’m siphoning off from the house.
Hopefully, I can get this foiled tonight and a lot of soldering done as well. It’ll probably be another day or two and it’ll be out the door.
I’ll try to find time to post my uber crappy beads that I made and some picks of other items that have gone out since the last post.
