August Hearts

My Hearts in August


I worked on these two heart chasings at Peters Valley and finished them up last week during stolen moments in the studio.
heart chasing 6-1
about 3-1/2 by 3 inches


heart chasing 5-1
about 5 x 3 inches


I just love all of that melodrama, coiled up into full and fertile hearts, tense, or maybe fluid, enough to curl the space around them.


It's also time for our Monthly Jewelry Blog Carnival
This month's theme is a studio tour.  My shop is too messy for a full studio tour, but I can give you a peek.

Hammer and Anvil, my essential tools


It's hot in there
a nice hot forge


Workshop
and a peek at the rest of the clutter


It's my space and I love it.

I love the hearts...A messy a studio means your getting work done!

I have finished updating my own blog on my summer's activities. There are references to the class at Peters Valley, and some links to your blog. I've even included photos of the start of my pitch pot! Yikes, can anything be so exciting?

Could you please send my tools with Bill when he heads in for the start of the semester at UWL?

Also, any information on your Tunnel Mill classes?

Thanks.
