Smokin Toast and Eyeballs

P3281081 Thank you to those of you who came to the workshop over the weekend and to the potluck on Saturday night! Bill had a great time. We all appreciated seeing how he has made an impact on metalsmithing field over his 40 years of teaching at UW-LaCrosse.


In case you were wondering ;), I chose to wear a SecretLentil cropped layering top over a simple black dress, a Paul Sasso Smokin' Toast pin, and some of my own gold earrings. People in Wisconsin don't really care about such things, but I enjoyed my fashion choices nonetheless


In the Metals studio, I am doing the final clean-up on the railing- no new photos.


In the house, I've been trying to get back into my daily creativity exercises- my stitch sketches.
I started off with this self portrait collage postcard.

Then got into my some more close-up self portraits. I started with this macro shot of my eye.

printed it out onto a printable cotton fabric and did some quick free motion stitching.

So- finishing up metalwork and getting back into the daily sketch groove. That's about it!

p.s. I recently sent out a large wholesale order, so both of my shops are quite a bit emptier. If you are looking for something similar to what you've seen before, please contact me through Etsy conversations in my knitsteel or joyheart shop.

I like this sketch. Are you machine stitching?
